In Saskatoon-University the Liberals are running an expert in sustainable resource development. A potential western cabinet minister.
Instead, we'll be getting the Conservative plastic straw apologist, thanks to vote splitting.
Sigh.

Saskatchewan is about to go almost entirely blue again because of vote splitting.
We keep voting in potatoes who do a poor job of representing our interests. Then we complain that Ottawa doesn’t care about Saskatchewan interests.
We should try electing accomplished people to represent us.
