  1. I moved from Regina to the coast 40 years ago and always said Regina was a nice place to be from but I wouldn’t want to live there. I’m still not sure I would like to live there but it give me a lot of enjoyment to see Sask doing as well as it is. I even still cheer for the Roughies ((except against the Lions, of course). Is the next election even going to be a contest?

  2. Is anybody even paying attention to the ads? Or any other aspect of the campaign? So far I’ve had a SaskParty worker show up at my door to have a chat and leave some lit. No sign of NDPers. Maybe they’ve been run out of town. I do hope they send someone, though. I’m so looking forward to “making his day”.

  3. Good, thanks Kate for cleaning up.
    Now where were we…oh yes, attach ads. Dwayne Fingerpointer and the Negative Downer Party is a perfect description. This ad almost makes up for all the union not so subtle anti-Sask Party bill board and tv/radio ads for the last six months.

  4. As an Albertan I haven’t had to make rude comments about drivers with Saskatchewan plates for the last 4 or 5 years – there are none – a lot from the Province of Je Me Souviens. Vote for the Sask Party to keep your economic refugees out of Alberta.

  5. I don’t know if it’s different under a Wall government, but when visiting the border city of Lloydminster in the past, the Saskatchewan side of town certainly had an “East Berlin” feel about it.
    Did Wall indeed heed the words of Regan and “Tear down that wall” or are things now just commie lite? I hear there are still more potholes per given mile of highway than there are lakes north of Prince Albert.
    I’m serious, is it milk and honey now or another helping of government cheese?

  6. “Tear down that wall” or are things now just commie lite
    It depends on who you talk to. I still have friends and family in government unions. Essential services legislation and a general feeling that the Sask Party is anti-labor tends to bring complaints about Wall. Any success by the province in turning around out migration numbers or not going into recession is chalked up to good luck not SP policies.
    OTOH, none of them has anything good to say about the NDP leader. IMO, the NDP will always be viable alternative in Sask but not this election. They need to modernize their ideas and get a fresh, charismatic leader. So, I hope Lingenfelter stubbornly stays and fights a few more elections.

  7. Well all the sane people are really hoping that none of the hashtags have anything to do with a dipper victory.
    Unlike Akin, who, I am sure, love nothing better than to see his fellow dippers take back Sask.

  8. Eskimo: “I don’t know if it’s different under a Wall government, but when visiting the border city of Lloydminster in the past, the Saskatchewan side of town certainly had an “East Berlin” feel about it.”
    Lloyd is simple to explain. Alberta side=no sales tax. Sask. side=sales tax, and perhaps a lot of other NDP imposed penalties, as well. You’ll noticed all the retail businesses begin at the Alberta side of the border and stretch for miles West. Sask side, not so much. The difference in energy and synergy is palpable. Maybe the Sask. Party can fix that a bit, but the Alberta side has such a head start, it will be hard for the Sask. side the catch up.
