The
New Century Party
Managed decline and reduced expectations have been our story for too long. The New Century Party is here to write a better one.
The Fable
Long ago, a prairie preacher named Tommy Douglas told us the story of Mouseland. A land not too dissimilar to our own. It was a place of working class Mice, and political class Cats.
Every four years the Mice would go to the polls to elect a government. However, the only options on the ballot were Cats, and so they always got a government of Cats.
White Cats, Black Cats, Spotted Cats, Blue, Orange, Green. They would all promise to do better, to be different, to guard Mouseland a little more gently.
But always the Cats would govern in the interests of Cats. Mouse Holes were made large enough for paws. Speed limits on Mice were imposed so even the lazy Cats could catch them.
One day, a Mouse got up and asked "Why don't we elect a government of Mice?" He was accused of being a bolshevik, a communist, a socialist. And so they locked him up.
But, in the end, as Tommy would always remind us:
You can lock up a mouse, or a man, but you cannot lock up an idea.
The Idea
We cannot afford to pick a different coloured cat.
The Mice must govern themselves.
The NCP
The New Century Party started as an idea: what if we built society for Human Dignity first? From there 21 Policies emerged. Policies about dignity, shared power, public ownership, and the sovereignty earned from self-reliance on this land.
Saskatchewan didn't wait for private companies, or Ottawa, to deem us profitable enough, worthwhile enough, or good enough for survival. We didn't then and we won't now.
The NCP is in its early days. There are no committees, there are no riding associations, there is no one to ask for your money. There are ideas worth sharing, and the willingness to listen to better ones.
We don't have much. Yet.
But what we do have are our principles.
Our Core Commitments
Everything else in the platform flows from these commitments.
The primary duty of government is to respect, protect, and uphold the inherent dignity of every person. We will bind that duty in law through the Saskatchewan Human Dignity Act. Every policy will be measured against that standard, not against convenience or political optics. If a decision undermines dignity, it fails the test.
Real strength comes from distribution, not concentration. We support shared ownership, democratic institutions, and co-governance with Indigenous nations. Communities should have a real stake in the systems they rely on every day. When power is shared, decisions are more stable, more legitimate, and harder to capture.
The bar is not survival. The bar is a good life for everyone: universal care, secure housing, meaningful work, and a future people can imagine here. Government should raise the floor and expand what is possible, not manage permanent crisis. People deserve security, but they also deserve room to grow, create, and belong.
Saskatchewan wealth should build Saskatchewan futures. Resources, food, energy, and data created here should circulate here to fund public prosperity. We reject extraction models that send value outward while communities absorb the risk. Saskatchewan first. Always.
Reconciliation is shared authority, shared revenue, and shared decision-making. Not symbolism. Not lip service. Durable partnership between sovereign nations. That means honoring treaties in practice, not only in ceremony. The goal is a long-term framework of trust, consent, and shared prosperity.
