SWENSON DISAPPOINTED IN LEADER’S DEBATE

October 31st, 2007

Saskatchewan voters and taxpayers were short-changed by tonight’s televised Leader’s Debate.
Swenson said, “The debate was significant for what was not said. The words agriculture, rural education, uranium, personal tax cuts and industrial development failed to cross the lips of Messrs. Calvert, Karwacki and Wall.  The largest agricultural land base in Canada was ignored.  One of the largest uranium resources in the world was omitted because of fear of voter backlash.  The development of our resources and building of the industrial infrastructure to support that development would have meant talking about things like crown corporations and the success of Progressive Conservative initiatives like Saskferco and others.  Saskatchewan needs more electrical power, high speed internet to rural areas and further natural gas distribution not dueling drug plans or grants for kid’s hockey equipment and dance lessons.
This debate should have been held on Halloween night with all the tricks and treats that were provided courtesy of the three Leaders with Saskatchewan taxpayers’ money.
It was obvious that Mr. Wall knows nothing about what his Party does.  Why would this change if he is elected to the Premier’s chair?  Only when he is confronted, does the truth come out in an attempt to save face.
Mr. Calvert continues to be in denial of his government’s lack of vision for Saskatchewan and Mr. Karwacki proved that he can talk above his two vertically-challenged colleagues.”
Saskatchewan voters were short-changed as they have been throughout this entire election campaign because other voices could not be heard.  Saskatchewan voters deserve better. 

They need Progressive Conservatives For The Right Reasons.
