Incumbent Hoback believes people want a Conservative government, common sense brought back

Apr 3, 2025 | 5:39 PM

Come this fall, incumbent Randy Hoback will have been an elected official in Prince Albert for 17 years.

Having begun representing the electoral district in 2008, Hoback has been subsequently re-elected every term since.

He once again believes that people want a Conservative government and want to see a change away from a Liberal leadership in Canada.

“They want to see change and they want some common sense brought back into government. They want people to represent them and to represent their values and their needs and they don’t see any answers out of liberals,” Hoback told paNOW.

“Every little area has its own priorities, there’s no doubt about that, but I think what’s been missing the last 10 years is that the Liberal Government fights for themselves and doesn’t take care of the country as a whole.”

Hoback has a business administration certificate from the University of Saskatchewan and a Chartered Director’s designation from McMaster University and the Conference Board of Canada. He also has a background in agriculture and served as chairman of the Western Canadian Wheat Growers Association (WCWGA).

Hoback knows the issues facing Canadians and Saskatchewan residents have changed and are continuing to do so, stating that diversity is key, especially with what’s been happening with the USA

and tariffs.

“We’re trying to figure out what types of projects we could do in the riding that would benefit people in the long term… we’ve had issues in regards to bad policy, where we can’t get our resources to market, where we can’t get our our products to the places that want them, and we’ve seen a decline in our standard of living. We’ve got a game plan to address those,” he added.

“We’ve got certain flaws in our economy that need to be fixed, our competitiveness needs to be fixed, ur diversification of markets need to be looked at closer. Having things in place so that we’re not solely reliant on the US and you can actually export to other parts of the world.”

This year’s election will be held on April 28th. You can visit a local polling station on the day of or vote on advance polling days Apr. 18, 19, 20, and 21st. You can also vote at an Elections Canada office by April 22 at the latest or mail your vote in by then as well.

Hoback concluded his media questions when he said that he views himself not as a political person but just as a guy who wants to see the yarsticks moved and things improved for Canadians, especially those in his riding.
