The field grows.
Ken Cheveldayoff is expected to announce his intention to run in the coming days.
Gord Wyant official enters the race for Saskatchewan Party leadership.
In his announcement, Wyant — who has most recently served as Justice Minister — said Saskatchewan people can expect him to stand up for the province, “whether that be on the federal carbon tax, Ottawa’s top-down approach to the legalization of marijuana or federal tax changes that will hurt small businesses and farm families, the lifeblood of our province.
“My priority has — and always will be — defending Saskatchewan’s interests,” he said in a prepared statement.
I guess we’re seeing who the candidates will be campaigning against…the Federal Liberals.
Thats what I want to hear.
Jeremy Harrison announces candidacy for Sask Party leadership.
I will fight a federally imposed carbon tax with every fibre of my being and with every tool at our provinces disposal.
