WALL TO RETIRE FROM POLITICS
Saskatchewan Premier Brad Wall says it’s time for renewal.
The 51-year-old has announced he is retiring from politics.
Wall has served as premier for a decade and says he will stay on until his successor is chosen.
He’s been ranked as one of the country’s most popular premiers for years, but took a hit after his government tabled an austerity budget this spring that boosted the provincial sales tax and made deep cuts to social services.
