Only one leader of a major federal political party stopped in Saskatchewan during the first two weeks of the federal election campaign, which has a little less than a month left to run.

He is the only party leader to have visited all 10 provinces since the campaign began.

Conservative Leader Andrew Scheer, who represents the urban-rural Regina–Qu’Appelle constituency, has not campaigned in Saskatchewan since the election was called on Sept. 11.

NDP Leader Jagmeet Singh, Green Party Leader Elizabeth May and People’s Party of Canada Leader Maxime Bernier also have yet to make campaign stops in the province.

That does not come as a shock in a province with few federal electoral districts and fewer still expected to be up for grabs next month, according to a University of Regina political scientist.
