Saskatchewan Election Viewpoints
Here we are folks, a week and a half away from determining who the next premier of Saskatchewan is. I've seen the platforms, and the promises, and the blatant vote buying.
At the risk of beating a dead horse, I don't believe the NDP will have any type of power after the next election. I see the SaskParty getting a majority, and our next premier being Mr. Brad Wall.
Is it a difference in ideologies? Sure, to a degree. I think the major difference between the two major parties is the plan, and the viability of said plan.
The NDP had the advantage, Mr. Calvert knew when he was going to call an election. Yet, he didn't seem to have developed his party's platform, and perform viability on the platform. All you saw was fumbling.
Picture this, you're in a sales meeting, and you have two presentations. Mr Calvert is first, and you see the disorganized, almost unprofessional presentation, where he's dropping cards, and promising the world with no real backing.
Then you see Mr. Wall, showing you a dazzling presentation with forecasts, and plans, and even passing around sales gifts. When asked about viability? He hands a perfectly laid out document, outlining everything you want to see.
I know who I'd like to see as my next premier.
I think it's time for a change.

Time for a change?
Forgot something - Mr. Wall not only handed out a perfectly laid out document, he had it audited by an economist to ensure that his assumptions and calculations are accurate. Mr. Calvert? Nope, the "future is wide open" and all of his promises, he assures us, will be paid out of growth in the economy.
It's not just a difference in idealogy, although the difference in approaches is stark. It's a difference in methodology, and a difference in attitude. Calvert assumes that everything done in 2003 will resonate with voters in 2007. Wall assumes that the electorate won't be sidetracked again as long as the SK party doesn't say something stupid like "If the price was right, we'd think about it".
