The Saskatchewan Party Caucus...
Working for You to Secure Saskatchewan's Future
| The Buzz Read on to find out what people are saying about Brad Wall and the Saskatchewan Party Caucus>
The Saskatchewan Party has "forced the NDP to severely alter its course and focus on income, business and property tax cuts. It's forced the NDP to key on economic and population expansion and successfully blocked critical labour initiatives like the NDP's proposed available hours legislation. In fact, virtually every NDP agenda item of the past six years -- short of the environment and public-sector wage settlements -- has been a response to a Saskatchewan Party initiative." - Murray Mandryk, Regina Leader Post, July 28, 2007
- Paul Jackson, Calgary Sun, March 25, 2007
There is a bright new star about to appear on the national landscape and he's going to finally make Saskatchewan an economic powerhouse and add muscle to Western Canada and its place in Confederation ... Watch this man -- he's going places and taking his province with him. - Paul Jackson of the Calgary Sun on Saskatchewan Party Leader Brad Wall, March 20, 2007
"We feel like our warnings for the most part are falling on deaf ears. So it has been an enormous relief for nurses to have Brad Wall and Don McMorris being so persistent and articulate in support of nurses in the legislature." - Rosalee Longmoore, President of Saskatchewan Union of Nurses, CBC Radio, February 12, 2007
"The mood for change is becoming a huge factor in the political life of the province and it's becoming increasingly apparent that only the Saskatchewan Party can deliver it." - Randy Burton, Saskatoon Star Phoenix, June 22, 2006
"Wall's plan presents an optimistic alternative that bears close scrutiny and sets the stage for a debate long overdue for this province to outgrow its poor cousin role in Confederation" - Saskatoon Star Phoenix editorial on Wall's economic vision paper, "The Promise of Saskatchewan", Sept. 22/04
"It deserves to be read and discussed as a way of getting the province's economy into a much higher gear." - Regina Leader Post editorial on "The Promise of Saskatchewan", Sept. 22/04
"This time around, the Opposition Saskatchewan Party has a good idea. Provide a smaller increase to the wage, but increase the basic personal exemption on the income tax side. In that way, the working poor get a hand up and business takes a smaller hit in the pocketbook. Who says there are no new ideas in politics?" - Randy Burton, Saskatoon Star Phoenix, June 25, 2005
"And what I see from where I sit is Mr. Wall taking an open-minded view of what needs to be done to deal with social policy issues and moving towards filling that vacuum. He's been here at the Saskatoon food bank, he's the MLA from Swift Current, he's the Leader of the Official Opposition, he's been here, I've talked to him several times, he's called me. He's interested in our issues. We're located in the Premier's riding. I haven't been able to get the Premier here for two-and-a-half years ... I'll just say it the way it is. We've had more interest by the Opposition in these issues than by the government." - Bob Pringle, Executive Director, Saskatoon Food Bank and former NDP Cabinet Minister, CKSW Radio, Nov. 25/04
"I thought our discussions were fruitful and positive. You took personal notes on our suggestions. You didn't give us political rhetoric. You really listened to us ... I had no acknowlegement or response to my invitation to visit Mont St. Joseph Home from anyone other than you. Your visit really meant a lot to me. Thank you for treating me like a person." - Letter from Edith Reinhart, Resident, Mont St. Joseph Home, Prince Albert, August 26/05
"Wall is one of the best public speakers in Saskatchewan." - John Gormley, NTR talk show host
"Wall's efforts to build bridges with First Nations is not going unnoticed. As a result, the chiefs are 'enthralled' with Wall, says grand Chief Gary Merasty, one of a new generation of pragmatic young First Nations leaders." - Straight Talk, Saskatoon Star Phoenix, Feb. 8/05
"I'm not a very political person and you tend to think that it's a big machine and you don't realize that there are people working for that machine and the people that I dealt with were super. Don McMorris' office ... everybody's been wonderful. They're people and they've got mothers and sisters and wives." - Debbie Panko-Gibson of Moose Jaw, breast cancer patient, on her dealings with the Saskatchewan Party in her fight to get Herceptin covered by the government, CKOM, July 22/05
"Despite the NDP's protestations to the contrary, it's becoming increasingly obvious that the ruling party is growing nervous about the official opposition. You can see this by looking at the speed with which this government has responded to recent Saskatchewan Party initiatives." - Randy Burton, Saskatoon Star Phoenix, Feb. 8/05.
"The Saskatchewan Party has got what the NDP hasn't -- that the real solution to helping the working poor goes well beyond the minimum wage. It was a real eureka moment for the Opposition" - Murray Mandryk, Regina Leader Post, June 24/05 |
