Ken Grey, the leader of the Progressive Conservative Party of Saskatchewan, was recently asked why the PC party didn鈥檛 have hundreds of billboards and maildrops everyday. 鈥淔irst, we are a true conservative party 鈥� while we are spending on certain advertising, we are doing it prudently and strategically. We want to run our campaign the same way we would run a government 鈥� responsibly.鈥�
聽鈥淭he SaskParty and NDP will be flooding your mailboxes with flyers, radios with commercials and of course a couple hundred thousand spent on billboards between the two parties. Megalithic spend parties,鈥� Grey said.
鈥淢ost of the material will end up in landfills after 28 days. The signs will come down and the millions and millions will have been spent battling the election. The SaskParty has grown so large and corporate that they even hired robot Kate to help out,鈥� Grey added. 鈥淎dditionally, both the NDP and SaskParty are using tax dollars through their caucus offices to pay for much of the advertising. This while their parties sit on millions of dollars in out of province and union donations.鈥�
鈥淲e will be spending our election budget promoting our candidates and promoting our platform,鈥� Grey further outlined.
鈥淲e have a great team and we are getting the word out as economically and strategically as possible. People already know our presence and we鈥檝e been hearing a lot of discord at the doorsteps.鈥�
鈥淲e want Saskatchewan people to know there are more than two options. The NDP are weak as an opposition and the SaskParty spends with zero control. We need a real true conservative choice to take on the Mega spend SaskParty,鈥� the PC leader concluded.
