Saskatoon Home To Canada’s Next Great Prime Minister

Saskatoon is home to Canada’s next great Prime Minister!  Alika Lafontaine was awarded this title on Sunday night on a CBC sponsored show hosted by none other than Rick Mercer.  Alika is a 25 year old Saskatoon resident who also happens to be a local doctor.  During the television show he competed in a debate against 3 other people up for the title.  He was asked several questions about current national issues by a panel of prior Canadian Prime Ministers including Kim Campbell, John Turner and Paul Martin.  Alika was announced the winner by in-studio voting of the audience.  Besides bragging rights Alika was also awarded $50,000.  He said that he contributes his success to the support he received at home with his family.

It is always great to hear people from Saskatoon make national news and especially something as great as this.  The province of Saskatchewan is leading the country in some many areas ranging from real estate, economic growth to now future leaders of our country.
