Buffalo Party of Saskatchewan is a provincial political party in Saskatchewan, Canada, which was formerly known as Wexit Saskatchewan. Wade Sira is the party’s interim leader.[1]

History

The day after the 2019 federal election, Scott Moe, premier of Saskatchewan, proposed a "New Deal" with the federal government. He called for an end to the federal carbon tax, renegotiation of the equalization formula, and action on oil-pipeline projects.[2] In the weeks after the election, Wexit volunteers began collecting signatures to form a new party. They called on Moe to hold a referendum on separation, saying that if he did not agree they would form a party to do so.[3][4]

On March 10, 2020, Wexit Saskatchewan became registered as a provincial party with Elections Saskatchewan.[5][6] Its first interim leader was Jake Wall.[7][8] Once registered, Wexit Saskatchewan proposed a referendum on independence in its platform.[9]

On June 3, 2020, the party's executive board voted to change the party's name to Buffalo Party of Saskatchewan. That decision was ratified by a membership vote.[10][11] In July 2020, the party officially changed its name and named Wade Sira as its new interim leader.[11] The party ran seventeen candidates, including Sira, in the 2020 provincial election. They did not win any seats and finished in second in four ridings.[12]
