SASKATOON – Saskatchewan Party Leader Scott Moe says some incumbent governments in Canada have had it rough heading into election season, but he’s confident his party will hold onto power.
Blaine Higgs of New Brunswick’s Progressive Conservative Party was defeated by Liberal Party Leader Susan Holt in a landslide election last week, while voters in British Columbia saw a tight race between David Eby’s NDP and John Rustad’s Conservative Party.
Moe says it’s shaping up to be a tough race in Saskatchewan as well, but he and his 61 candidates are focused on their party’s plan to create a strong economy and a bright future.

Moe has said his Saskatchewan Party, if re-elected Monday, would bring broad tax relief and a promise to continue withholding federal carbon levy payments to Ottawa.
The politician hailing from Prince Albert didn’t have any planned campaign stops Sunday, but spent Saturday rallying supporters at an event in Saskatoon.
Early voting ended on Saturday, and polls are closed until Monday.
