Patrick McNally, candidate for the Saskatchewan Green party in the Cut Knife-Turtleford constituency, grew up on a farm near Rowatt, south of Regina.
In Regina, his lengthy work life included janitorial services, specialized renovations and building management. In 2005, McNally met former Green Party leader Victor Lau and started thinking more politically.
McNally promotes the election of Greens to the legislature because, in his view, the SGP is the one party that supports the rights of working people, with a clear scientific vision into Saskatchewan’s future.
He advocates for boosting the provincial minimum wage, and also calls for a pilot program to determine if a guaranteed liveable income is needed as work life gets shaped by computerization and robotics.
McNally and his fellow SGP candidates predict a near tsunami of green jobs as society converts to renewable energy sources to lessen climate change impact.
McNally envisions an army of workers refitting and renovating homes, businesses and public buildings for heating efficiency, installing solar panel arrays, drawing geothermal energy up from abandoned oil wells, harnessing hydro and river current power and much more. All clean energy would flow into a provincial grid, possibly making Saskatchewan a green energy exporter.
“Please consider voting for me and my fellow Greens. Think ahead for our next Saskatchewan generation,” MacNally says.
