After completing her first full calendar year as leader of the Saskatchewan NDP, Carla Beck feels the past 12 months have helped the party gain momentum heading into an election year in 2024.
Beck spoke with CTV News’ Morgan Campbell in a 20 minute year in review special that can be heard Dec. 28 at 12:30 p.m. and 6:30 p.m. on CTV Regina and Saskatoon. A preview of that interview will be available on Friday.
In her almost year and a half as leader, Beck feels some of that added momentum has come from the time she’s been able to spend travelling around Saskatchewan listening to and learning about people’s concerns.
Beck feels that outreach has been an integral step to rebuilding the party before next year’s vote.
“Some of the things that have been really hopeful is that we’ve won two of the last three byelections and I think that was something that we worked really hard for and I think shows some momentum,” Beck said.
“The way that we have been able to focus on things that really matter to Saskatchewan people and build those solutions with them and really build and grow our party, those are things I am very proud of but I know we’ve got a lot more work to do,” Beck added.
Beck recognized that since 1944 when the Co-operative Commonwealth (CCF) formed government in Saskatchewan, making one of the first social-democratic governments in North America, there has always been some sort of disconnect between the provincial and federal NDP.
