Provincial leader, federal deputy leader Ralph Goodale edit

I have made edits to this article making reference to Ralph Goodale as the provincial leader and the federal deputy leader of the Liberals. 117Avenue has however kept making the reverts to reference Goodale with his stint as the Federal Finance Minister. The fact that Goodale later became the Federal Finance Minister is only of relevance if the subject at hand has something to with the state of the national economy. Goodale’s stint as Federal Finance Minister is irrelevant because the part of the article that makes reference to him is about the Sask Liberals’ performance at an election which saw Goodale being elected the sole member of the provincial legislature. What makes Goodale’s election as the sole Liberal member is the fact that he was also the party leader. Of all the Liberal candidates at that election the chances of the leader being elected the sole member of the parliament is perhaps astronomical and yet it still happened. The fact that Goodale was the leader of the Sask Liberals in the 1980s is perhaps what influence Federal leader Michael Ignatieff to appoint Goodale as his deputy in 2008. This demonstrates that leadership is an issue and Goodale should be respected for being a party leader and a party deputy leader. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 220.239.167.151 (talk) 05:13, 4 February 2013 (UTC)Reply

Your edits dod not appear to be encyclopaedic, as it broke, and removed links. 117Avenue (talk) 07:17, 4 February 2013 (UTC)Reply

Yet you are now accepting my edit about Goodale. To be frank I don't think you even read my edits prior to making the reverts otherwise you would have understand the edit was about leadership not about his tenure as Federal Finance Minister. In fact you did not seem to even read my comments on the reasons for the edits. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 220.239.167.151 (talk) 23:17, 21 February 2013 (UTC)Reply

Colour edit

Which color do we want to use?   Yellow,   Blue (used in the banner and the first color you see on their website) or   Red (used in the text)?

We can/should wait of course but i already wanted to start a discussion here and we can restart the discussion at any point. Braganza (talk) 15:14, 19 July 2023 (UTC)Reply

I think that we should keep the current red. It is a part of the current branding (as said in the video), and it will bypass the chaos of the BC United colour change. Rushtheeditor (talk) 22:14, 19 July 2023 (UTC)Reply
I think red is the obvious choice. I've kept the Liberal pastel red/pink for use in election tables. 21:14, 19 July 2023 (UTC)
i would change the red shade tho, since the generic Liberal color is only used for parties calling themselves liberal Braganza (talk) 05:37, 20 July 2023 (UTC)Reply

Red appears to be minimized in the party logo. Yellow would represent a real break, and the Saskatchewan Party went over to green. Why not?Raellerby (talk) 10:16, 6 October 2023 (UTC)Reply

Who is the leader now edit

The article states that there was a leadership election held in November 2023. It is now December 2023 and I can't find anywhere on the party website or anywhere else on who has been elected the new leader. Also the executive page of the website does not list Jeff Walters as a member of the executive anymore and no current leader is listed among members of the executive. 49.3.72.79 (talk) 15:09, 10 December 2023 (UTC)Reply

Yeah, clearly nothing has been announced—it seems likely that the election did not in fact take place as planned and that the leadership is vacant. But as of right now, the most up-to-date info available is that the party intended to elect a new leader then. I personally think it would be best to leave the article there until more info becomes available. Other justin (talk) 04:36, 16 December 2023 (UTC)Reply
