Who was Walter Scott, Saskatchewan’s first premier?

Walter Scott was the first premier of Saskatchewan, serving following the province's entry into the Canadian confederation in 1905.1

A member of the Liberal Party, Scott was a proponent of partisan politics, which contrasted with the cooperative approach that had previously characterized the movement to establish Saskatchewan as a separate province. His leadership marked the beginning of a long period of Liberal dominance in the province, as he was the first of several politicians to keep the party in power for most of Saskatchewan's early history.1
