NO to Nuclear. Go Green. Election Day: September 21st, 2009

The Regina Douglas Park and Saskatoon Riversdale provincial by-elections have been called for September 21st, earlier than expected to ensure they are completed before a possible fall federal election. The Green Party of Saskatchewan has excellent candidates nominated in both ridings: Victor Becker Lau in Regina Douglas Park and Tobi-Dawne Smith in Saskatoon Riversdale.

Both candidates are advocating for a Guaranteed Livable Income. If the Government of Saskatchewan can propose spending billions on nuclear, the time has definitely come to eliminate poverty in Saskatchewan. With the release of Dan Perrins report on the UDP public consultations delayed until September 14th and the public release expected a few weeks following that date, this is the perfect time for voters in Regina Douglas Park to deliver a loud message to the Government of Saskatchewan: No to nuclear. Go with Green.
