Don't Just Take Our Word For It — see for yourself what the media are saying about the Sask Party.
Ignoring the Needs of Saskatchewan Families Brad Wall promised accountability and transparency, yet the list of broken promises grows longer. You are Paying More Higher Cost of Living. The Frontier Centre for Public Policy reported in January 2010 that Regina has gone from being one of the most affordable cities in Canada to "moderately unaffordable" and Saskatoon is considered "seriously unaffordable" in less than three years. Higher Utility Rates. Under Brad Wall's leadership, SaskPower increased its rates by 8.5% in June 2009 and effective August 1st 2010, your SaskPower bill will go up by another 7.5% to 8.5%. In less than 14 months Saskatchewan residents will pay almost 20% more for their power. You are Getting Less Even after the boom of 2008, Wall's Sask. Party government created a $1-Billion summary deficit and dwindled the province's rainy day fund down to $700 million. The Wall Government's misleading billboards, radio and TV ads falsely declare Saskatchewan has seen a 'net benefit' under a Sask. Party government. If there really are 'two stories' in Saskatchewan's economy, "potash and everything else", then why is the Wall Government projecting a 2010-11 budget with a zero per cent increase to government ministries while aggressively cutting government programs and services to Saskatchewan's cities, town and rural areas? They Are Standing Up for Stephen Harper, not Saskatchewan Brad Wall's government claims to have a strong relationship with the federal Conservatives in Ottawa, however Harper's lukewarm reception to Wall's projects and 'feasibility studies' tell Saskatchewan taxpayers a different story.
They Are Trying to Make Saskatchewan more like Alberta On Environmental Standards and Regulations, Western Economic Partnership Agreement (WEPA) and other issues, the Saskatchewan Party government won't stop until they make Saskatchewan "Alberta's Twin".

"By the end of the year there will likely be two consecutive quarters of negative growth in the province, which means Saskatchewan will be in a recession."

Minister of Environment ignores concerns of environmental groups, forges ahead with plans to sell wildlife habitat protected lands...

Rather than truly consider the arguments from groups like Nature Saskatchewan or the Saskatchewan Wildlife Federation which vehemently oppose the new act in its current status, Nancy Heppner's Environment Ministry has taken to soliciting support letters from "non-partisan" groups like CFIB, the Saskatchewan Cattleman's Association, the Saskatchewan Stockgrowers' Association, etc. No vested interests here, right? -Murray Mandryk, The Leader-Post
