Don't be spooked by NDP: Brad Wall

So there is a choice between Big Brad Wolf and Wiley Coyote Calvert! Actually I think there is legitimate reason to beware of Wall appointing all his favorite buddies from each sector to a panel that would guide Saskatchewan in the right direction. It would be an innovative even entrepreneurial way to fleece Saskatchewan citizens and put development in the right hands! Maybe it is Wall's Invisible Hand.

Don't be spooked by NDP tactics, Sask. Party says

Halloween themes dominated as the New Democrat and Saskatchewan Party leaders took shots at each other Wednesday, the morning after a televised debate.

In a news release, the NDP returned to a pre-election ad comparing their opponents to wolves in sheep's clothing and urging "Big Brad Wolf" — Saskatchewan Party Leader Brad Wall — to take off his mask.

NDP Leader Lorne Calvert said Wall had " a full bag of tricks" and the only people who would get treats were the "hand-picked group of friends" Wall would appoint to a new board considering privatizations.

Calvert also suggested the Saskatchewan Party was haunted by "the ghost of Tories past."

Wall replied in a news release of his own by saying Calvert's scare tactics have been repeated so many times it's like watching too many horror movies.

"By the time you see Halloween 7, it's not scary any more," he said. "It's just a sad guy in a goalie mask."



Wall was scheduled to spend the rest of the day campaigning in Regina.

Supporters of the three main parties — the Saskatchewan Party, the NDP and David Karwacki's Liberals — all said their leader did well in Tuesday night's debate.

Many people who sent e-mails to CBC said they weren't impressed at the way the leaders tried to talk over one another.

"How disappointing to see three men squabble on TV," wrote Debbie Browne of Shaunavon.

"Their answers to the questions put to them was overrun by their bickering," wrote Julie Madarsaz of Regina.

Calvert was scheduled to be in Yorkton, Meadow Lake and Lloydminister on Wednesday. Wall and Karwacki were in Regina.
