Weyburn's Mayor Marcel Roy told Discover Weyburn he's not entirely surprised to see a strong showing of Conservative votes in our region, let alone the Liberal minority government resulting from last night's federal election.

"There was no really changes to any of the people that got elected," said Roy. "There's all incumbent some of the there was a couple of ladies there in Manitoba, this was their fifth time going back in there, so there was no real change. There's no real change. There's a couple down east, I think liberals dropped, some of the Green Party dropped, and you saw the NDP move ahead, but there is no drastic changes so it just shows the mood that I think everybody is concentrating on COVID right now. They're all just concentrating on the economy, trying to get through all of this, and they nobody wanted any real upwards change of anything."

"So this will be, again, a relationship between Singh and Trudeau," he noted. "We as municipalities down here, in Weyburn, in our area,are going to have to just learn how to, again, work with them, and wait and see what we can be handed out. "

"A lot their programs being handed out, you can see that they're for big cities, so hopefully we will get something on the infrastructure line, and we will get things, but a lot of the targeted stuffers are to the more larger cities with a lot of their green programs, for like bussing programs and things like that."
