Energize your base, and buy votes in key areas to win an election.

Instead of thoughtful policy that doesn't necessarily always fit with your ideology.
Why?

The poor ndp policies have already been summed up in numerous threads. Hidden taxes through carbon tax, raising corporate taxes, raising the minimum wage, throwing money at the public sector, allowing the private sector to strike even though taxes pay the wages of the public sector and shouldn't be allowed, re evaluating royalties, not supporting pipelines etc etc etc.

Why do we have to bring it up over and over. It's easier to sum it up by saying this government has done nothing to slow the bleed of a slowing economy in our province. This government needs to go.

i think there is a huge difference between your last bolded line and knee jerk I hate the NDP that you get through your Facebook feed.

Although your statement of Saskachewan people rejected the NDP because they previously lived under NDP governments is just homerism and the kind of stuff that needs to be cut out of discourse.

For someone who claims they wanted to talk about the election, you have yet to make even a single comment on it.

Seems more likely that you just want to whine (again) because not everybody is on board with team orange the way you are.

The lesson that I drew from this thread is that Albertans still don't care much about Saskatchewan.

Are there any major policy changes of note?
