Saskatchewan Party Leader, Scott Moe was in Moose Jaw for a stop on the campaign trail just days after the advance polling locations across the province opened.  

It was a full house inside the Saskatchewan Party campaign headquarters, with dozens of supporters in attendance as Moe was joined at the podium by MLA candidates from across southern Saskatchewan. 

Moose Jaw North’s Tim McLeod, Moose Jaw Wakamow’s Megan Patterson, Lumsden-Morse's Blaine McLeod, Dakota-Arm River’s Darrell Harrison, Wood River’s David Merrit and Cypress Hills candidate Doug Steele stood by the Saskatchewan Party leader’s side as he addressed supporters. 

“In just a few short days the people of Saskatchewan are going to have the opportunity to make a choice. I would say it's a very important choice. In fact, what we're seeing is the people of this province are making that choice today.” said Moe. 

“Polls are over and over 100,000 people in Saskatchewan have cast their ballot already. They've already made their choice, and I've seen the early reports, and let me say thank you to each and every one of you in this room, because our Saskatchewan Party supporters are showing up and they're showing up in big numbers to those polling locations and they're showing up across the province” 

During the hour-long visit to Moose Jaw, he discussed what the choice of reelecting a Saskatchewan Party government would provide for the province, highlighting the outcomes of policies put in place by his party during their time in office. 

“We collectively have the opportunity to choose, between the NDP, with their record of decline loss and closure, or you can choose a strong economy and a bright future with this party, of your party, the Saskatchewan Party.” 

His address turned to employment opportunities and job creation in the province, during which he took aim at past NDP governments.  

“Over 17,000 jobs were created just this past year alone in our province. That's one new job being created each and every 30 minutes in the province and you can choose to keep that record and keep that opportunity going or we can go back to what it was like under the NDP. 

“Where I would say there was also one job that was created every 30 minutes, the challenge was that job was created in Alberta and our kids, our children, our students had to move to Alberta to get that job.” 

Moe continued, highlighting policy differences between the two rival parties, focusing on the closure of school and hospitals, infrastructure problems and the tax rates seen in the past as well as the carbon tax, and many other key issues raised during this election season. 

“You do have a choice in this election between the Saskatchewan Party, who has stood against the Trudeau carbon tax since the very first day it was introduced, or the NDP who always have, and continued to this day to support that Trudeau-NDP carbon tax. You have a choice between a Saskatchewan party who wants to grow the economy or the NDP who just simply want to grow government.” 

He concluded by reiterating the call to get out and vote. 

“You are mobilizing Saskatchewan Party support, and you are mobilizing Saskatchewan Party voters, and I say thank you to you. Your hard work is paying off. But there is more work to do as we find our way through this voting week to Election Day next Monday. So, keep getting voters to the poll. 

Keep putting the choice between before the people that you see each and every day, and I know that if we do that and if you do continue to do what you're doing on October the 28th on Election Day, it is going to be a very good day for the Saskatchewan Party and a very good day for our great province of Saskatchewan. God bless Saskatchewan and thank you so very much.”
