Hundreds protest budget cuts outside premier’s dinner
Hundreds of people gathered at the entrance of Prairieland Park Thursday evening to protest Premier Brad Wall and the Saskatchewan Party’s budget.
Demonstrators from different unions and community groups blocked the entrance to the parking lot, backing up traffic on Ruth Street all the way to Lorne Avenue at some points.
They waved signs in front of windshields, booing and yelling at the drivers who were attending the Premier’s fundraising dinner.
“They’re people of very few words. They put their heads down and won’t look at you,” said Dave Cunningham, who walked up to driver’s side windows to engage with attendees.
