Over 30 people rallied outside of Premier Brad Wall’s constituency office in Swift Current to celebrate his upcoming retirement.

Cory Szczepanski is a union representative at COPE (Canadian Office and Professional Employees Union) Local 397 and said that the reason he wanted to come and celebrate Wall’s retirement is that of a decade of cuts coming to an end.

"Well for us it's kind of coming to an end of a decade of cuts when we look at the threats to the Crown corporations the financial mess that the Sask Party has left Saskatchewan in, I know for myself and my family it is very important for us to be here on this day, I hope it's a turnaround for the province."

Larry Hubich, president of the Saskatchewan Federation of Labour, said the reason they came out and rallied was that they felt their voices needed to be heard.

"It's actually the responsibly and an obligation of governments to hear the voices of all citizens, not just the voices that the government believes are their supporters, like the corporations and the wealthy. It seems that the current government has decided that those are the only voices that are important to be heard in the province," Hubich said. "They close the door to other voices and so I guess if the government isn’t interested in opening their door to have conversations with people who are paying the taxes and who contribute to the province, then it's our obligation as citizens to come to them and share with them those things that are concerning to the people that we represent."

Hubich also stated that is irresponsible for the government to not put any money away for a 'rainy day.'

"If you gave your children a really healthy allowance and at the end of the day they didn't put any aside for a rainy day you say that they were irresponsible," Hubich said. "I think this government's been irresponsible with their spending and they haven't been spending on things that benefit the working men and women and their families. They've been spending the benefits on corporations and the wealthy, and now that the tap's turned off they're cutting and trying to sell the Crown corporations."

The retirement party had a cake that said ‘Yes to Crowns, and No to Cuts.' It also featured some A&W drinks and an invite to Wall, but the premier wasn't in town.

Wall did chime in on Twitter in response to a person named Kent's tweet, who was protesting, saying "Kinda disappointed in the small turnout Kent. Glad you came in from Regina. I'm not in Swift today, so I hope you left some cake behind."
