Tansi,

I am honored to have met, known and worked for Dr. Ryan Meili in this campaign and I am excited to offer my personal endorsement of Ryan Meili to be the next leader of the Saskatchewan New Democratic Party. I firmly believe that Ryan offers our party its best hope for the future.

Ryan has worked with the First Nation and Métis people across this province, in the inner city of Saskatoon and in northern communities where I come from.

Ryan sees the demographics of our growing Aboriginal population and acknowledges us as an opportunity that we need to tap into, not an impediment. He also understands the generational impacts of poverty and poor health, and the need for social inclusion and prosperity. He would like to see the First Nations and Métis people of our great Province fully and equally engaged in the economy.

Ryan is committed to creating a society where every child, regardless of who they are, where they live, and the challenges they face that they will have the opportunity to achieve their full potential.

That’s the kind of vision and leader we need for Saskatchewan!
