Regina Douglas Park is Heating Up
The Saskatchewan Party recently announced that they are holding a nomination meeting for Regina Douglas Park on August 12, 2009. The nomination meeting will be held at 6:30 pm at St. Mary’s Hall on 2020 Winnipeg Street. After this meeting, there will be three confirmed candidates in Regina Douglas Park. On July 7, the New Democratic Party announced that Dwain Lingenfelter will be their candidate, and on July 10, the Saskatchewan Green Party announced that perennial candidate, Victor Becker Lau will be flying their flag. Unfortunately, there is no information on the Saskatchewan Liberal Party’s intentions for that election.
So far, the election seems like it will be another interesting one. Victor Becker Lau has already come out swinging, pointing out four major issues that affect the constituency. In Becker Lau’s mind, nuclear power, poverty, affordable education and electoral reform are going to be key issues in this by-election. Larissa Shasko (Leader of the Saskatchewan Green Party) fired a well-timed salvo at the Saskatchewan Liberal Party, stating that “A two-party system between the NDP and the SaskParty is failing the environmental and social aspirations of the people of Saskatchewan.”
