A new provincial political party recently formed here, calling themselves the Sask United Party, which intends to out-conservative the existing Saskatchewan Party.
Basically, I think its just another Cat party trying to pretend to be mice (see above for a video about Tommy Douglas' "Mouseland" analogy)
If the anti-immigrant, anti-science right-wing Conservative option is central are they saying Moe is a leftist commie or something? https://t.co/PaTiQuNUAh pic.twitter.com/d1PZKCWuBC

But, maybe rural places are this angry. And if SK United can win four or five seats, then they're real players. If it can't, it is a blip and will have no permanent presence.

Very funny that a conservative splinter party is calling themselves Sask United. Especially since the NDP has only really been successful there when there have been two centre-right parties splitting the vote.

Mouseland lives! https://t.co/VvkGzEK7I8
I also wonder if the Sask United Party is basically just another reflection of the urban-rural divide, which here in Saskatchewan has now become an abyss. Now, Saskatchewan is hardly Canada's urban hell-hole but even here, we get fear and resentment of our cities, as well as a certain amount of fetishization of rural life.
