Here's what we heard.
'Progressive direction'
"Just generally a shift away from conservative ideology, more in a progressive direction. I'd like to see more social mindfulness, general consciousness around inclusivity, diversity. That sort of initiative," Berkley Staite said.
'Everybody should be up instead of some'
"I'd like them to consider instead of the more wealthy people in the province and the big companies, and their interests, I'd like to see them looking out for a little bit more everybody — minorities and women and people who don't have as much income, and help people have a helping hand. If we're such a 'have province' then we shouldn't be seeing some of the people that have a harder time in life, shouldn't have so much of that around if we're such a great province. Everybody should be up instead of some," Dan McCaig said.
'Building a strong foundation'
"I would like to see the big challenges like medical and education, I want these things to be better. More, we are investing in these things and the kids are the pillars for the country ... So if you are building a strong foundation, that's going to be better for us, all of us. It's a good investment," Rashida Baloch said.
'Continued good times in Saskatchewan'
"I'm hoping for continued good times in Saskatchewan, that's what I'm looking for. Renewed good times through a difficult period of time," Shawn Ward said.
'I'm hoping it stays just the way it is'
"I'm hoping it stays just the way it is. I think we're in a really good place right now, and I just want our economy and our province to grow and succeed," Cheryl Restall said.
'I want to see some good change'
"I'm hoping to see a change in the way things are run here — health care, education, arts. Personally, as a job seeker, I'm really concerned about what's going on in the province right now. I want to see some good change," Patricia Gakis said.
