The Editor:
I was amazed by the letter written by Nathaniel Cole, the NDP candidate for Cannington published in last week’s Mercury.
His letter was asking the present Sask. Party government “where has all the money gone?”
Clearly, he was not doing his research during the past few years. Anyone who follows politics plus every day current events know the Sask. Party has been building Saskatchewan ever since their first year in office.
Where has all the money gone?
It has gone into building new hospitals, building new schools, both of which we witnessed were permanently closed by the NDP government.
Money has also gone into building new highways, which the NDP left in total disrepair in all of the province.
This province has also gone through some very serious floods which caused gigantic destruction, some of which happened right here in the Estevan area a few years ago. Brad Wall and the Sask. Party government stood behind its affected citizens and invested millions of dollars, giving them much needed support to get back on track with their lives.
They have been excellent in financing the fighting of the worst forest fires in the province’s history. These fires cost the province hundreds of millions of dollars and the government again, showed its responsible reaction when it comes to assistance in times of dire need. The Sask. Party was there for the people.
I realize most of the people of Saskatchewan know where the money has gone … it has gone into building and assisting the people of this province, which the NDP greatly failed to do when they held office.
