New numbers today from the independent, non-partisan Angus Reid Institute show that Saskatchewan people are struggling with the cost of living more than anywhere else in Canada.

We need to be cutting costs for working families — whether that’s removing the Sask. Party’s power hikes or removing the Sask. Party’s PST from everyday grocery items like rotisserie chickens and granola bars. People need a break and we should be delivering.”
