Sask Liberals lean to the Right
Or so says the headline in this leader-post story.
The Saskatchewan Liberal Party has begun a period of introspection after party candidates were shut out for a second consecutive provincial election last November. And, suggestions emerged Saturday the party could be nudging toward more right-wing ideals.
That's right, return to the glory days of Thatcher, nothing like 40-year-old discredited ideas.
Of course, that would be a step up for the Liberals in Saskatchewan. They are the only group I know that with one elected official (federally or provincially) out of 74 and having gone zero for 4 in the last 4 provincial by-elections and election, that can make a virtue of their looserdom:
Good job Prairie fire, good job. :-)

Mock if you want, but there are in fact a lot of dedicated Liberals (big and small "L") in this province who are excited about the prospect of renewing their party, particularly because they don't feel at home with the NDP or the Sask Party. And a lot of people both inside and outside of the party who do not want to see Saskatchewan descend into an American-style two party system.
"nothing like 40-year-old discredited ideas."
You mean like free enterprise? Free enterprise is the way of the world, thank goodness. Discredited ideas are ones like nationalizing oil production and potash mines. You won't be laughing when serious debates about public policy begin in this province.
Heh, "40 year old ideas" from an NDP supporter?
Irony abounds. :)

Yeah, you would think that after a party has been shut out twice in a row they would do some real soul searching as to why the people of Saskatchewan reject their views, policies and ideas...
