And while eight red feds have visited Saskatchewan this month, the province’s 14 electoral districts are all blue. There is a March break in Ottawa for MPs which might in part explain the recent travel to Saskatchewan but University of Regina politics and international studies professor Tom McIntosh says it doesn’t make sense right now for the Liberals to trigger an election.
