'Not enough Pilsner in Saskatchewan...'


Listen Later

The spring sitting of the Saskatchewan legislature went out with a bang. The Opposition NDP is calling for a government committee to meet and appoint an investigator in the wake of allegations made last month by the Speaker against former House leader Jeremy Harrison. He initially denied bringing a long gun into the legislature nearly 10 years ago, but has since admitted family helped jog his memory, and the allegation is indeed true. There are further complaints that will reverberate into the summer ahead of a provincial election this coming October. But some pundits believe there's not enough Pilsner in Saskatchewan to convince them that Scott Moe’s governing party isn't going to get re-elected this fall. Helping West of Centre make sense of the twists and turns in this story are Murray Mandryk, the political columnist for the Regina Leader-Post and the Saskatoon StarPhoenix; Tom McIntosh, a professor in the department of politics and international studies at the University of Regina; and Adam Hunter, who covers politics for CBC Saskatchewan.
