Premier Scott Moe urged delegates to the Saskatchewan Party’s convention to hit the doorsteps to win close-fought urban seats he confirmed will be a key target in the 2020 provincial election campaign.

“Our urban seats are going to be a focus for us going into that election,” Moe told reporters Saturday before the party’s election prep session at the Queensbury Convention Centre in Regina.

He said Regina, Saskatoon, Prince Albert and Moose Jaw are the areas where his party sees room to grow.

But Moe suggested that the Sask. Party won’t be writing off any seats, calling the whole province a “battleground” in 2020.

The Sask. Party has lost the last three urban byelections to the NDP, in Saskatoon Meewasin, Saskatoon Fairview and Regina Northeast.

Moe expressed confidence that his party can win those kinds of ridings back in 2020.

“We’re going to win the way that we always have by working harder than the other guys,” he told delegates, “because good old Saskatchewan hard work always works better than the fear tactics that we see from the NDP.”
