Premier Scott Moe says Saskatchewan election campaign to begin Tuesday

REGINA — Saskatchewan Premier Scott Moe is confirming what has been widely expected – the provincial election campaign starts Tuesday.

Moe says in a post on social media that he plans to ask Lt.-Gov. Russ Mirasty to dissolve the legislature, launching the campaign with voting day on Oct. 28.

Moe’s Saskatchewan Party is seeking a fifth straight majority after spending 17 years in office.

Moe says he’s running on his record of growing the economy while making investments in education and health care.
