Weekend Election Roundup

“What really struck me though was that Calvert was riding in this old RV that had blue smoke puffing out of the tailpipe. It had to be at least 15 years old. It looked like it was from a different era.”

“Will trade for Rider playoff tickets.”
Don’t forget your election market trades for today!
Birkbeck predicts and so can you – in the comments. There are 58 seats up for grab, currently the NDP hold 30, the SaskParty 28.

  2. Pooping out the blue smoke? Could that signify the Reverend Lorne is feeling blue or the old vehicle is his good luck charm. When the chips are down people often turn to perceived good luck symbols and other manner of voodoo. Sounds like he needs a miracle, no doubt he’s praying.

  7. Sask Party – 40
    NDP – 16
    Liberals – 2
    PC – not quite 1
    Marijuana – not close
    Green Party – 2.8%
    SDAP – forgot to run
    WIP – 0

  8. I’ve said this since the very start of the election and will stick to it now (although I think giving the Liberals a seat at this point might be generous):
    Sask Party – 39
    NDP – 18
    Libs – 1

  16. Looking at the poll and comparing it to past elections in the province, there is absolutely no way the NDP will get more than 15 seats, if that many.
    Sask Party 43
    NDP 13
    Lib 2

  17. Depends on the weather, but I’d have to agree with you Trent — at best, 15 for Lorne, hoping SP takes all the rest.

  19. I think it might be a 30 NDP and 28 SP again. As much as I would hate to see this I don’t think you can count the Dippers out.

  21. As a working stiff the Sask?Tory party offers me nothing. No drug plan a tax rebate which the farmers will gain the most and not much else. I hope all of urban Sask votes NDP. They will help the real taxpayers the most.

  22. ok4ua,
    Just what is your problem? You come on all the different threads here and babble on about the “virtues” of socialism and how the rest of us are all a bunch of “evil right wingers” yet you never seem to be able to provide any hard data to back up your bs, nor to you acknowledge the mountains of information the rest of us provide to back up our statements.
    I have asked you dozens of times to back up your ridiculous statements and you never do, so why don’t you just be quite?

  23. Saw this during the football game this afternoon: the lie comes at the 20 second mark in the graphics but is never directly stated by the reader, a sure sign of duplicity: “privatize crowns.” Filthy lying shits: too bad you can’t just do it like old Hugo, eh?
    Oh, yes…
    Sask Party 45
    Lying Dips 13

  24. Here is one (conservative) scenario if 8.5% of popular support shifts to the Sask party from NDP giving the Sask party 47.8% of the vote, according to esm.ubc.ca/SK07/forecast.php:
    Political Parties
    NDP SKP LIB OTR
    Popular Vote
    36.1% 47.8% 14.2% 1.5%
    Gains (+) or losses (-)
    -8.5% +8.5% 0.0% 0.0%
    Seats, 2007 predicted
    23 34 1 0

  25. “As a working stiff the Sask?Tory party offers me nothing. No drug plan a tax rebate which the farmers will gain the most and not much else.”
    Ask them for some punctuation.

    This is why the NDP is going to have their lunch handed to them…when a Prov. Party has to depend on an Urban/Rural split to win, they also have to govern that way. The #1 reason the NDP will not be accepted by rural Sask

  27. Remembering the PC sweep of 1982, everybody thought Riversdale was a safe NDP seat but Romanow lost it to a gas station attendant, Calvert could lose it again on Wednesday. The sweep is on:
    Sask Party 48
    NDP 10

  28. The Sask Party may have a bigger lead (54%-34%) over the NDP now than Grant Devine did over Allan Blakeney in 1982 (54%-38%). A lot depends on how the vote is distributed, of course, and the Sigma polls suggests that the Dippers are at least in the running in parts of Saskatoon and slightly ahead in Regina. But with numbers like this you never know: they could win eight seats again or get lucky and come out with twenty.

  29. ok4ua, was it not the NDP who has given the biggest education rebates to farmers? was it not the NDP that gave people on welfare 3 increases in 3 years? was it not the NDP who gave that woman abuser taxpayers money to shut him up? the NDP has made it’s bed now accept the fact that the people of Sask. are fed up.

  30. Argos 41
    Riders 13
    Leafs 3
    Habs 2
    Raptors 106
    Nets 69
    Every now and then, it’s good to be a Toronto

  31. The NDP have lost this election and now have to worry about staying in existence for the next election. To do so about 250 NDP ultra-faithful will be told to vote for Roger Parent to ensure that Karwacki does not win and become the real opposition. Politics does, indeed, make the strangest of bedfellows!

  32. Blue smoke?!! That can’t be good for the environment!! Don’t the Dippers claim to be greener than green?
    Well I suppose you can’t pull up in a shiny new Airstream when you’re trying to sell the bull the Dippers offer, and dealing with an electorate that has suffered from your economic policies.

  33. We’ve all had good times under NDP gov’ts. You guys don’t change anything. THe news media has the election won already. Your Tory gov’ts are rotten and crooked. Look it up if you can read.

  34. Play nice ok4u. I appreciate the NDP will help get Roger Parent elected so Karwacki does not get to make fun of ForLorne in the house until ForLorne’s imminent resignation. However, when there is a bi-election in Riversdale if you do not want Karwacki to win in Riversdale when Lorne resigns you better be nice to your right wing bedfellows until you have Riversdale in your back pocket again. If you saw the debate you know who killed ForLorne and it was not the dreaded Saskasuppositories or whatever it is you call them. If it is revenge you want be mindful that it was Karwacki who made ForLorne look like he had filled his pants with NDP policy, not Bradley.

  35. haha, Parent winning in Meewasin….that’s funny. He will finish second because Karwacki’s numbers are tanking (his campaign is running scared all over the constituency this weekend), but winning? He doesn’t have enough support in enough polls to pull it out, though it will be under 1,000 vote split.

  36. Laugh Sean S., laugh laugh! See Sean laugh.
    Cry Lorne, cry, cry. See Lorne cry. See Karwacki riducule Lorne in the house. See Lorne look like a whipped puppy, again. See Lorne resign.
    The Liberals have big guns out flattering the folks in Meewasin. Hell, you can get elected just waving at people going to work in Saskatoon. Imagine what will happen when voters see people they have seen on TV at their doorsteps flattering them?
    The only people the Liberal bigshots cannot impress are Sask Party voters who are singlemindedly focused on turfing the NDP. So, it is Parent or Karwackin my left wing friends. Pick one. Pick one now.

  37. Kind of unfortunate, incidentally, that all the ‘big gun’ analogies may be lost on a lot of people who have evolved past the ‘hunting and gathering’ era. Maybe 90%? Of women, that is, at least.
    If by some chance the SP loses, I will be hosing down my house. I am BAAAAD.
