I attended a presentation at RPL about the history of American elections just prior to the 2016 US election.
It was a great presentation but I’ll always remember the Q&A at the end – someone asked “Who do you think will win?” and the presenter looked out, half chuckled (as did most of us in the crowd including myself) and said “Oh, I think Hillary’s got this.”
We all know how that turned out and now I’m hoping for a similar type of surprise result (but to the good side) in the upcoming Saskatchewan election. The NDP may not win the election but I wouldn’t be surprised if they outperformed expectations. I’ll write more about why I think that in a future blog post…
