As 2019 turns to 2020, NDP Leader Ryan Meili plans to put his party’s message on repeat and crank up the volume.

“It’s actually really important that we say the same things over and over again, louder and louder,” he said.

With cries of “crowded classrooms” and “hallway medicine,” the NDP already has a songbook to sing from. Meili said 2020 will be a year for fleshing out concrete proposals he unveiled in 2019, like a 24-student cap on class sizes, then making sure voters hear about them.

“I think what we have been able to do is also articulate what it is we’re about, a vision for the economy that’s about putting people first, that’s about investing in the long term success of the province,” he said.

“A vision for some of the big, big issues — health and education — that differs considerably from the Sask. Party.”

He wants to drive that distinction home, even if it means going into some rather messy subjects. It seems Meili has no intention of toning down his attacks after a year of bitter arguments covering everything from yellow vests to Western separatism.

“The premier has been very coy when it comes to his positions on climate change, his positions on Wexit and even some of his positions on immigration policy,” he said. “I think it’s very fair to continue to ask.”
