    Bloggers attempt to light election fire PDF Print E-mail
    Written by Trish Elliott

    “I will never – not ever – give the SaskParty a chance because the Devine years remain entrenched within the SaskParty. And Brad Wall's connection is deep!” writes Bernadette Wagner, regular ActUp contributor and CBC Blog Squad member. Her blog posting ‘Give the Sask Party a Chance: Ha-ha-haaaa!’ contains the fine details of those connections, from Wall’s tenure with the Mulroney Conservatives to his various postings within the Devine government.

    Meanwhile blogger Joe Kuchta of Owls and Roosters has been busy outing Sask Party candidate Nancy Hepner, who recently stated “There are no ties between the Saskatchewan Party and the Conservative government.” Kuchta points out that Hepner left her job as Prime Minister Harper’s communications strategist to run for the Sask Party, and that four federal MPs have made donations to the Sask Party.

    John Murney’s Blog contains useful profiles of each constituency, to help you with your election pools. It may take a pool to keep your interest keen: “No wonder Canadians outside of our province are not interested in our election campaign - where is the sizzle? Where are the memorable speeches? Where is the beef?” writes Murney.

    Some of the sizzle is going on over in Larry Hubich’s Blog, where the SFL president recently had to lay down the law about overheated comments on the site. Hubich’s blog came to prominence when his publishing on election contributions raised some attention in the mainstream media – especially when the Regina Leader-Post was named as a Sask Party contributor.

    Trolling for controversy, Giant Political Mouse’s latest posting accuses the Sask Party website of copyright violation. Not quite as exciting as the NDP’s recent crack house accusations, but what the heck!
