Landslide in Martensville

Nancy Heppner won a stunning landslide victory in Martensville last night! The margin by which she won far surpassed my prediction of 58%, as she won with nearly 77% of the vote while Tzupa took 10% and the Liberals 8%.

I think everyone knew that this would be a very comfortable victory for the Saskatchewan Party. However, I don't know how many people expected a landslide of this proportion. This definitely bodes well for the Sask Party going into a provincial election. The same cannot be said for the Calvert government.

Unfortunately, this might mean that a Spring vote is out of the question now if Calvert uses the results as any sort of gauge of how the provincial vote might go.

Looks like we'll be going to the polls this fall with a scared government that will no doubt be campaigning via spending announcements for the next six months or so.
