Saskatchewan Election Campaign Kicks Off with Competing Tax Relief Promises

Premier Scott Moe and NDP Leader Carla Beck launch campaigns focusing on affordability, healthcare, and economic management.

Scott Moe's Saskatchewan Party promises the largest income tax reduction since 2008, aiming to save a family of four over $3,400 in four years.
NDP Leader Carla Beck pledges to suspend the 15-cents-a-litre gas tax for six months and remove the provincial sales tax on children's clothing and ready-to-eat grocery items.
Beck criticizes Moe's economic management, citing increased taxes and fees, while Moe warns that an NDP government would lead to economic stagnation and service cuts.
Recent polls indicate a tight race, with the Saskatchewan Party strong in rural areas and the NDP gaining support in urban centers like Regina and Saskatoon.
Both parties have committed to releasing fully costed platforms during the campaign, addressing key issues such as healthcare, education, and public safety.
