	The Estevan Mercury - 08/21/02 (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-14)
		Hermanson said he was delighted to see such a large turnout of party faithful for what is generally considered to be an uneventful evening when a party's nominee is known well in advance.
		Hermanson said that an election call may be made as soon as this fall, so the Saskatchewan Party had to be ready to answer the bell with a full lineup of candidates and Eagles' nomination was the fourth.
		Hermanson said that with alternative energy sources being developed in a number of sectors, it was time for Saskatchewan to unleash the oil and gas reserves to capitalize on the wealth while it was still there.

	CBC - Saskatchewan Votes 2003
		Elwin Hermanson has made no bones about what will happen to the province's 80 or so Crown corporations if he wins: he's promised to review them all, kill or privatize the ones that he thinks are underperformers, then refocus the ones that remain toward their “core” responsibilities.
		Hermanson denied any ill intent, but the NDP called it proof that many of those people could lose their jobs in a post-election purge by a victorious Saskatchewan Party.
		Its platform has three significant planks: Hermanson's insistence on not catering to one geographical or ethnic sector at the expense of others, an attack on wasteful spending by the NDP government, and a plan to increase Saskatchewan's population by 100,000 within a decade.

		The news last week that Elwin Hermanson was stepping aside as leader of the Saskatchewan Party was not a shock to many people in the province.
		Hermanson, who was even compared to Hitler in an internal NDP cartoon, had problems convincing people that the NDP's misrepresentation of the Sask. Party was not true and that selling the Crowns was not in the party's plans.
		With Hermanson officially stepping aside as leader in February, the party is now working to try and find a suitable replacement who can give the Sask. Party a vibrant new look, hopefully wiping away any former misconceptions in the process.
