No obvious successor for Lorne Calvert to lead Saskatchewan NDP (Saskatchewan Liberty Train) (Progressive Bloggers)

Fri, 27 Jun 2008 01:08:01 GMT

... any kind of renewal underway in the party, but rather, its business as usual. It also appears that Lorne Calvert, the former Saskatchewan NDP Leader, doesn't appear ready to step down any time soon. Perhaps that is not a bad thing; Calvert is no pushover as Leader. Besides, as Mandryk correctly points out, there is no obvious successor to Calvert. Among the names I hear...

Lorne Calvert is staying put as Saskatchewan NDP Leader (Saskatchewan Liberty Train) (Progressive Bloggers)

Wed, 12 Mar 2008 23:27:00 GMT

I see I missed this. I can't say that I am surprised that Calvert is going to stick around for at least another year. Actually, I don't think Lorne plans to exit the Saskatchewan NDP leadership at all. And, since the party lacks a mechanism for leadership review, in theory, Calvert can stay where he is for as long as he likes. What incentive is there for Calvert to retire?...

Team Wall (The Wheatsheaf) (Progressive Bloggers)

Yesterday, Brad Wall made the successful transition from Premier-Elect to Premier. He also completed a Premier?s hardest task ? selecting the Cabinet. According to some, Wall had much more to work with than Lorne Calvert. I am not sure how a career as a police officer makes you qualified to be the Minister of Tourism, but I guess that when you are talented you get the promotions. Wall's...

Is Ralph Goodale worried? And should that make Stephane Dion nervous? (Angry in the Great White North)

The results of last night's provincial election in Saskatchewan showed the province shift to the right, ejecting Lorne Calvert's NDP in favour of Brad Wall's Saskatchewan Party. One riding in particular interests me. The provincial riding that overlaps the federal riding of Wascana shift hard to the Saskatchewan Party. Federally, that riding is held by Ralph Goodale. Is this a cause...

It looks like the not-totally-socialist Saskatchewan Party is going to win the provincial election today in Sask., as it beats the Soviet-style you've got to be kidding party of Lorne Calvert. But that doesn't mean I’m going to stop calling it what I coined as “A li’l bit of the Soviet Union right here in Canada” . Because until I see otherwise, it is.
