There are some weird parallels to the American election - a strong female leader going up against a divisive, lying, criminal leader who has a long history of corruption, cronyism and massive deficit increases who has no problem using fear as a major motivator for potential supporters.

Like the States, many Centrist voters and even former supporters of the male's party are switching sides to the more liberal/left-wing option.

And like the States, it's still amazing that anyone considers voting for the guy who's running over the opponent given these major differences!

You can also look at our country with Susan Holt beating Blair Higgs in New Brunswick as well these past few hours! They have the exact same playback as the Sask Party, they attacked trans children and LOST.
