Federal Election 2025

Grant Abraham is the United Party of Canada’s Member of Parliament (MP) candidate for the Ponoka-Didsbury constituency.   

Abraham was inspired to get involved in politics after becoming frustrated with the federal government’s response to key issues.   

He is a lawyer, author, humanitarian, and small-holding organic farmer, and had a career in International Development.   

Abraham was asked a series of questions, which have been presented to all candidates.

We spoke with Dr. Joel Bruneau, professor of economics at the University of Saskatchewan, about how the tariff ups and downs are affecting the world, the country, and the province. Bruneau said Trump doesn’t understand what he’s doing, but he’s reassured by the calm rhetoric coming from both potential Prime Ministers during their campaigns. 

Liberal Leader Mark Carney said Thursday he would pass tougher laws to stop people from being harassed at their places of worship, part of a suite of crime and justice measures he unveiled at a campaign stop in southern Ontario.

The promise comes after more than a year of reports of rising hate targeting Jews and Muslims in Canada following the Oct. 7 Hamas attack on Israel in 2023, and the war in Gaza.

Noel Gautron is once again the People's Party of Canada (PPC) candidate for Provencher.

Gautron says the first time he ran for the PPC was for a Winnipeg riding in 2019, then ran again in 2021 for Provencher.

There are several issues top of mind for him as he takes to the campaign trail.

Liberal Leader Mark Carney took his promise of making Canada an "energy superpower" to the heart of Canada's oil industry Wednesday, becoming the second party leader in three days to promise to speed up the review process to greenlight major national energy projects.

Conservative Leader Pierre Poilievre made a one-project, one-review promise at a campaign stop in northwest British Columbia on Monday. Both parties are trying to convince Canadians they can ditch Canada's reputation as a place where big projects take far too long to get built.

Maria Rose Lewans is becoming a fixture in local elections.

The former candidate for municipal and provincial elections is running in her third federal election.

"I care about my community," Lewans said. "Saskatchewan is one big community and it's hard not to notice how much people are struggling... people aren't being fulfilled by life. It's hard to notice that and just to sit by and not do anything.

With the federal election underway across Canada, we took some time to talk to a local candidate for the Souris-Moose Mountain area.

He spoke about some of the important issues for himself and the Southeast.
