A Message from Weyburn-Big Muddy!

The people of Weyburn-Big Muddy sent a message to this current NDP government by selecting the Saskatchewan Party’s Dustin Duncan as the newest MLA. Duncan received almost half the vote winning with 49 per cent and surpassing his closest rival by almost double. It was a convincing win by any measure.

Most notable was the poor showing of the NDP. Since its inception, the NDP has never finished this low in the constituency of Weyburn-Big Muddy or received so few votes.

But what does this mean for the rest of the province and why should people care. The answer is easy - this win is a sign that people want to change the government of Saskatchewan. It’s time to get rid of this tired, out-of-touch NDP government and bring in a Saskatchewan Party government.

Whether it is crumbling highways or long surgical wait lists, the NDP government has failed to fill the needs of Saskatchewan families and people are fed up with it. Some simply vote with their feet and move away from the province. The Saskatchewan Party’s newest MLA Dustin Duncan has been asked by Leader Brad Wall to look into ways to reduce this problem, especially with youth fleeing the province. Youth Opportunities is the new critic duty for MLA Dustin Duncan and it is an important duty as Saskatchewan’s migration numbers prove we have a problem. In the last year, Saskatchewan’s population dropped by 3,700 people.

There’s no doubt Dustin Duncan’s win in the Weyburn-Big Muddy by-election is a good thing for the province of Saskatchewan. It proves that the NDP government is out of touch with the people of Saskatchewan, and it’s the first step towards changing this NDP government.
