Premier Scott Moe, left, and Opposition NDP Leader Carla Beck, right, were busy this week making appearances and announcements as an election call looms.
On Tuesday morning, Sask. Party Leader Scott Moe asked Lt.-Gov. Russ Mirasty to dissolve the government and drop the writ. Voters head to the polls Oct. 28.Sask. Party Leader Scott Moe, left, and NDP Leader Carla Beck, right, have been busy making announcements and promises in the weeks leading up to the beginning of the provincial election period. On Tuesday morning, Sask. Party Leader Scott Moe asked Lt.-Gov. Russ Mirasty to dissolve the government and drop the writ.
"A re-elected Saskatchewan Party government will make life more affordable by delivering the largest income tax reduction seen since 2008," Moe told a crowd of supporters. "So that's the first large and significant difference in this election. The NDP is promising a small temporary tax measure that excludes anyone who might not drive. The Saskatchewan Party will deliver a significant ongoing tax reduction for everyone."
"In fact, Scott Moe has the distinction of being the only premier in the entire country to have shrunk the economy before, during and after the pandemic." "And he expanded the PST to include things like children's clothing. Children's clothing is not a luxury. But you know what is? His million dollar trip to Dubai."
