Apr 16, 2011 | 10:14 AM

Prime Minister Stephen Harper touched down in Saskatoon Friday night, making an appearance at a Conservative Rally at Prairieland Park.

Harper spoke for about 20 minutes, starting off by listing some of the budget items that were voted down by the Liberals and NDP.

“The NDP said no to more money for home energy retrofits, Conservatives say 'yes', and we can do it without raising your taxes,” said Harper.

He then pointed out the Liberal's job killing tax-hikes and what he called Ignatieff's costly promises.

Harper soon switched over to highlighting the government's achievements over the last year, specifically when it comes to the impact of the Economic Recovery Program in Saskatchewan.

“We've invested in more than a thousand projects, improvements right here at Prairieland Park. The south Circle Bridge, twinning Highway 11,” Harper explained.

“In the past five years, this province has gone from a have-not province to an economic leader in our great confederation.”

Harper ended his speech by outlining Canada's achievements over the last year, including helping out in Haiti.

“Due to the new military aircraft we bought, where we quickly and massively moved clean water teams and field hospitals to save countless lives.”

Conservative staffers told paNOW that the Prime Minister was there strictly for rallying purposes, and that he was taking no questions from the media.
