The sole debate for the 2024 provincial election has wrapped – with both sides satisfied that they’ve successfully made their respective cases on the debate stage.
“I’d say if there is a winner tonight, it’d be the Saskatchewan people. Because they had a better opportunity to understand the platforms that the Saskatchewan Party and the NDP are putting forward,” Scott Moe told reporters immediately following the debate.
“There were a number of things we wanted to make clear, the investments in healthcare and education. The fact that we know Saskatchewan people need relief and they need relief now,” Beck explained.
“All in all, it was a good debate, it went quickly and I was very happy to have the opportunity for Saskatchewan people to see the debate.”
Wednesday night marked Scott Moe’s second leaders’ debate and Carla Beck’s first.
Moe’s deflection tactics were steady throughout the 55 minutes of discussion and arguments.
Focusing on offence, Moe tried his best to paint Beck and the NDP as the federal New Democrats choice for the province and dredge up criticisms of the last NDP government in Saskatchewan – both familiar lines from the Sask. Party’s numerous attack ads this election season.
