Saskatchewan Party rose in 1997 as 1) reaction to spread of Reform Party in Prairies 2) PCs were despised for failure & corruption 3) NDP austerity hurt rural voters & 4) NDP colluded with PCs against Liberals in 1995 election & resulting Liberal infighting

NDP found upon returning to power in 1991 that Saskatchewan's debt & deficit situation were far worse than what PCs had revealed. Part of problem dated to 1978's federal decision to shift health spending obligations to provinces. NDP decided to cut health & education spending.

Primary division in Saskatchewan has been between the Liberals & the non-Liberals since the 1930s. NDP & PC were seemingly opposites, but really appealed to same prairie populist base. Gains of PC in 1970s came at expense of NDP rather than Liberals.

Whereas NDP's Saskatchewan created state ("crown") companies to control provincial resources, PC's Alberta merely revised resource royalty rates & collection for drilling & mining businesses.

After some delay I am back to report the independence question results. Alberta is uncomfortably tight.

As Winston Churchill said about democracy its the worst sysgem out there except for all the others and same can be said with capitalism. Capitalism far from perfect but delivers better results than any other system tried

Nobody serious thinks Canada is the 51st state. We know we’re sovereign. Repeating it every five minutes doesn’t prove patriotism, it proves insecurity. Cheer for Canada, be proud, and quit turning every sports moment into another anti-Trump therapy session. 🤡
