Mr. Speaker, yesterday was a historic day for Saskatchewan and all of Rider nation. After 12 long years, our beloved Roughriders brought home the Grey Cup, defeating Montreal in Winnipeg. What sweet joy to see green and white confetti raining from the sky in the home of the Blue Bombers. The determination of Trevor Harris, the leadership of Coach Mace and the grit of every player on the field mirror the resilience we see in our farmers, our families and our communities every single day.
From the “green mile” to the towns across our province, Saskatchewan families celebrated last night. This victory reminds us that when we come together with purpose and perseverance, there is nothing Saskatchewanians cannot achieve.
I congratulate the Roughriders. They have made Saskatchewan proud. Some people like gold, but in Saskatchewan, we know that green is the colour and football is the game. Go Riders.
