Don’t Forget To Vote!

For your favourite Saskatchewan Party
and your favourite Saskatchewan blog.

Because there’s no such thing as “too much despondency” among the left!
And remember Climate Audit!. Canadian “AGW hockey stick debunker” Steve McIntyre is within 250 votes of the leader and gaining.
I’m leaving shortly as I’ve errands to run, and plan to join some friends to watch as election returns come in. So consider this your election night discussion thread. Stay on topic, please.
Post Election Update As of midnight, the seat totals are 37 Saskparty, 21 NDP, and 0 for Saskatchewan’s Answer To Joe Clark.
Though some seats are very close and the (ugh) “prison vote” has yet to be counted.
Details at SaskVotes and CTV.
Speaking of media coverage – watching the three networks on screens side by side at Saskatoon headquarters was amusing. While Global and CTV kept on top of vote totals and seat counts through out the night within seconds of one another, as it became obvious that the SaskParty totals were pulling in front for good, the graphics on the CBC screen ceased updating.

  1. Thanks to everyone who participated in my markets … special thanks to Kate for helping me in this experiment.
    The big play money winner on the “Next Gov’t” … drum roll … is Garth Brewer … with a $8,276.87 gain. The results (does not include anyone that cashed out) are here (thanks again to everyone):

  3. Congratulations to Saskatchewan voters, and to the Sask Paarty. You’ve made the first big step, just keep on rolling!!! Hope you sell the “Crowns” too.

  4. HAHA …dj that was hilarious ,ty. and as for Serge Leclerc I too know him very well. Fantastic guy with an unbelievable past. read his book if you want to hear an amazing story….geez i went outside and the stars are shinning WAY brighter then normal! whats up with that?

  5. ‘the stars are shining brighter’ – Do you realize what that means???
    THE SKY IS FALLING, THE SKY IS FALLING, THE SKY IS FALLING!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

  7. Someone above made a good point. Will this even translate into highly altered policy? Both parties have moved to the center. The Sask party platform is pretty much the NDP under a different name, minus PST on cars.
    Woopdee doo.

  8. jon,
    It appears that the voters have discovered a difference … but if it makes you feel good …

  9. From a Saskatchewan born Alberta republican… God Bless and God Speed Saskatchewan in your journey from the dark ages.

  13. Any comments from Dion or Layton. Imagine, 8 years and no liberal members of a provincial govt.
    Does Goodale feel safe.

  20. ‘Seems that smalldeadrodent with a face that looks remarkably like Lorne Calvert’s has jinxed your blog, Kate.
    I’m getting no sidebars and HUGE print. Hmmm. ‘Hope that when I get home from work tonight everything at SDA will be back to normal.
    Congrats, Sask, for voting with your heads. Great victory for c/Conservatives–the NDP defeated and the Liberals shut out…
    WAY TO GO!!!

  24. Kate…SDA is loading fine for me here in hopeful Saskatchewan! It was a good night. Karwaki was yapping about how great a campaign he and his team ran…all while he was personally in third place and his party was at zero seats! The NDP were told that “Hope trumps Fear” by the voters and Brad’s victory speech was excellent. It hardly gets better!

  26. My SDA looks altogether different too. Huge print, no side bars, and everything sort of squished together! (I had to hunt for these comments.) I hope things are back to normal soon.
    Yeah, Saskatchewan Party!! Well done, Kate and Saskatchewan!

  27. Congratulations Sask. Party, Brad Wall and the Freedom loving people of Sask who finally got rid of the Socialist hords!! Congratulations Kate, this blog has been the Sask. Party’s most influential ally. Once again SDA gets results.

  30. Gary like a good little socialist you’re still fighting decades old battles. Its 2007 better move on.

  31. Hurray, hurray, it’s a holy holiday!
    Congrats, my dear friends from Sask – you deserved that victory!

  32. The people of Saskatchewan are now the proud owners of the most right wing provincial government in Canada.
    With AB now having higher tax rates than BC for icomes less than 108,000 and having just announced the largest tax increase in Canada in the last few years – the increase in royalties – it will soon cede its reputation of having an ‘advantage’ of the other provinces to its eastern neighbour Saskatchewan.
    Perhaps this will put a rod up the collective ass of the asses in the AB PC party leadership.

  33. Finally…
    Some business leadership in Saskatchewan… Let’s get the economy started!
    Hopefully Brad Wall will be Danny Williams like and stand up for the province.

  34. The LAST thing SK needs is for Wall to be “Danny Williams – like”.
    Talk about a recipe for driving away investment and knee-capping economic growth and opportunity. There hasn’t been an exploratory well drilled in NL for almost five years (the last one cost approx 200 MM$ making it one of the most expensive ever due in no small part to the regulatory overhead in NL)- even though oil prices are at nominally record highs.

  35. Jeez DDT
    Thats a bit ironic given the post at the top of the main page . .
    Kate
    Time will tell . . .
    Enjoy your win. Time for the Sask NDP to renew after all that time a government.

  37. Finally, a government that understands economic policy. Personally, I’d like to see SaskTel reduced by about 80% of employees, but I’m betting that’s just wishful thinking.
    Here’s to the SaskParty and to four years (at least) of moving our province toward a non-socialist future – it could not come any sooner.

  38. The election went the way the media wanted it to. Now the Sask party can take credit for what the NDP has done. WE had a balanced economy. I hope that continues. We will wait and see if the SAsk party will keep it’s promises.

  42. Hat’s off to Kate!! SDA’s RKD played a landmark role in taking down the commies! They (RKD) sure had the red faction at CBC and Radio-Canada Regina squirming in front of their TV cameras more than once during the campaign.!
    The trick is not to let our guard down during the next four years. We have to fight the commies ever day of the SP’s term, come hell or high water!!

  43. The Leader Post and Star Phoenix cost us (SP) at least 7 city seats. The CBC-Radio Canada most likely hit rural sask the most, because a lot of farms still use the traditional VHF-UHF signal.
    Let’s not lose sight of our enemy!

  46. Trouble in Meadow Lake, folks. The R.O. counted wrong last night: Sask Party by 17 votes now…and, I understand, some advance ballots are yet to be counted. Didn’t Harrison suffer ballot box oddities his last trip out (as a MP…)?

  47. The world turned upside down… Saskatchewan has a conservative government and Charlie Brown is running Alberta!

  48. Now all the roads will be fixed. The hospitals will have no wait times.There will be a surplus of nurses. Do you people really believe that?

  49. ok4ua Of course we believe, but then we believe in “free” medicare too. We also believe that any government will better manage our hard earned dollars than we will. A great Liberal told us that we couldn’t be trusted with our own money ’cause we would just blow it all on popcorn and beer and we believed him and voted for PMPM.
    Never let it be said that we are just a bunch of country bumpkins. No siree Bob, not us.

  50. People believe whatever the media tells them. Most people don’t know what they’re voting for.
