Buffalo Party hopes to provide an alternative for voters
New to the upcoming 2020 election is the Buffalo Party. Running for the first time, the party describes itself as a western Independence Party, formerly known as Wexit Saskatchewan. Their first priority is to fix federation.
Party leader, Wade Sira, works as a truck driver and is in the ag industry. He says the people of Saskatchewan have a right to choose if they want to stay in Canada, and whether they decide to stay or leave, it’s up to the government to do what’s best for Saskatchewan. Sira also said his party would be an opposition party that would hold the Sask Party accountable. Sira says that his party wants to provide an alternative for voters who are frustrated with the Saskatchewan Party and the NDP.
Seventeen candidates are running for the Buffalo Party in the province. Crystal Tiringer is the candidate for Cypress Hills Riding. “I have seen first hand both the celebrated successes and the challenges that our people face. I truly believe it’s time the people of this great province have a party willing to stand up for provincial prosperity, protect the rights and freedoms of the people and our heritage, and notably, our livelihoods.” Crystal said. She has worked in the gas, uranium mining sector, agriculture industries, banking and business.
Jason Cooper is the candidate for the Kindersley riding. Jason understands the challenges that many families face right now forced upon our industry by recent political decisions at both the provincial and federal levels. It was these realities that tipped the scale in favour of Jason putting his name forward to run.
The party’s platform pushes to construct pipelines, remove the carbon tax, and scrap national equalization payments. They would also like to implement a Young Farmers Program in the province. They propose changes to GST and PST, the Canada Pension Plan and replace the RCMP. While the party doesn’t have enough candidates to form the government, they believe it is possible to impact if they manage to gain seats in the Legislative Assembly.
Approved by Business Managers for Crystal Tiringer and Jason Cooper.
