REGINA – Today, a team of senior Sask Party staffers were seen removing NDP door-knockers in a seniors’ apartment complex at 1150 Broadway Avenue.

NDP campaigners spotted Terri Harris (deputy chief of staff to Premier Brad Wall), Rebecca Rogochewsky (media relations officer for Kathy Young, executive director of communications) and Steve Rennick (Sask Party caucus communications director) with a team totalling about seven people doing their part for the Sask Party.

Statistics Canada reported today that Saskatchewan lost full-time jobs as wages fell behind the rising cost of living.

The decline in reported unemployment mostly reflects workers dropping out of the labour force rather than finding jobs. Saskatchewan’s labour force decreased by a troubling 1,300 in October alone and has decreased by 2,000 over the past year.

Sask Party candidate Christine Tell appears to be bending the rules:

The Hutchinson Analytics survey was conducted over several minutes of awkward and forced conversation at tables 3 and 5...

Hours after attacking the NDP’s fully-costed highways plan for including federal funding, the Sask Party expressed its hope of federal funding for an uncosted corrections plan.
 
The federal government has typically shared the cost of highway twinning and major bridges, but Sask Party candidate Bill Boyd said that federal funding “doesn’t exist” for such NDP proposals.

Meanwhile, the Leader-Post quotes the Sask Party leader as “hoping that there is some interest in infrastructure...

The Sask Party’s 0.1 per cent healthcare platform proves it will continue to do nothing for a healthcare system threatened by an onslaught of new crises.

Just this week, patients were forced into the hallways at the over-crowded Regina General Hospital, Regina’s renal unit was shut down, and the Prairie North Health Region reduced emergency-room and clinical services. And today, the Leader-Post reports that the Regina Qu’Appelle Health Region cancelled surgeries and transferred...
