It's not so much about the Saskatchewan Party winning as it is about the NDP election strategy that lost them the Election. You don't run an election based on messaging that now is not the time for change. Even the Tired Old Tories in Alberta know that. You run as the party that is for change especially when all the polling tells you that's what voters want.

Harpers Equalization
King Stephen I will be on a whirlwind trip across Canada today to make equalization payment announcements that have nothing to do with equalization, provincial resource rights or the Atlantic Accord.
Instead in Nova Scotia he will re-announce military spending, in Saskatchewan he will re-announce bio fuel spending. And he will be going solo having not bothered to inform the Premiers of the respective provinces of his pending dog and pony show on their turf.
This is strictly a show for the Conservative Federal Government, to pretend they did not screw these two provinces in their last budget.
The fact that there is no new money being announced, just a rehash of previous announcements is straight out of the Ralph Klein playbook.
For years the Alberta government has announced, re-announced, and announced yet again funding announcements.
It is euphemistically called buying votes.
