ELECTION

People are also concerned about the state of highways and roads in the riding, especially Hwy. 2 and 27, he said. Some people have even told him they refuse to take certain roads because they are in such bad shape. We have to recognize that rural Saskatchewan is a vital part of the economy and they are being left behind, Bedient stated. Affordable housing and childcare are also issues being raised at the door, he added. These are things that are on the minds of younger families as they try to get ahead and raise their children, Bedient noted. As for the federal government s decision to remove the CWB as the sole marketer of western Canadian wheat, Be-

meetings ̶ one in Vonda at 7:30 p.m. on October 26 and one in Humboldt at 7 p.m. on October 27. Oliphant grew up in the U.S., but moved to Saskatchewan to teach at the Western College of Veterinary Medicine at the University of Saskatchewan. He currently lives on an acreage between Saskatoon and Aberdeen in a straw bale house. FAIR SHARE Gord Bedient, a resident of Saskatoon, is the NDP candidate for the riding. He says this election is about getting all the residents of Saskatchewan a fair share of the prosperity the province is currently experiencing. Some people are beneﬁting from the boom, but a large percentage is being left behind, he explained. The cost of living has increased during the boom, but people s disposable income has gone down in the last three years.

Residents of the riding are concerned about healthcare, but those concerns differ from east to west, he noted. On the east side of the riding, around Humboldt and Muenster, people are concerned about the shortage of doctors and health care professionals, Bedient explained. Close to Saskatoon, they are more concerned about wait times for appointments with specialists and procedures. The NDP has talked to young doctors and is working on plans to help them buy into practices in rural areas, which many can t do as they graduate from the College of Medicine with high student debt loads and are unwilling to go even deeper into debt. As well, the NDP is promoting community access hospitals as the way to go as it helps to lessen doctors workloads. The younger doctors have told us they don t want to work 24/7, Bedient said.

dient is very disappointed. The majority of farmers said they want the wheat board, he stated. This is all about democracy. You have a federal government supporting antidemocratic practices. Bedient s biggest concern about the election is the similarities to what happened in the 1980s under the Grant Devine Progressive Conservative government. There are too many similarities, he said. The economy is going good and then all of a sudden the economy crashes and we re in trouble. This is Bedient s second time as a candidate for the NDP; he ran for the party in the Silversprings riding in 2007. Election day is Monday, November 7.
