He was elected to Parliament as a New Democratic Party candidate in a 1999 Byelection in Saskatoon—Rosetown—Biggar , following the resignation of Chris Axworthy . However, he lost to Carol Skelton of the Canadian Alliance in the 2000 Election Greuending's 1999 Saskatoon—Rosetown—Biggar Byelection campaign came under intense scrutiny from Reform Party candidate Jim McAllister . On one occasion, McAllister, along with a handful of Reporters drove to the Gruending home in Saskatoon 's north end where McAllister referred to Gruending as a "parachute candidate" and to add insult to injury, McAllister showed the media photos of the Gruending home in Ottawa , an Oxygen Mask because McAllister said that Eastern Canada residents often complain about the air quality and a detailed map of the Saskatoon—Rosetown—Biggar riding where McAllister claimed he was the only candidate who actually lived in the riding. Gruending, ended up with the last laugh defeating both McAllister and Saskatoon mayor Henry Dayday , who was running for the Liberal Party . In the 2004 Election , Gruending ran again in Saskatoon—Rosetown—Biggar, but lost again. Gruending has written five books, including biographies of former Saskatchewan premier Allan Blakeney , and another of Supreme Court Of Canada Justice Emmett Hall . Gruending's latest book, ''Great Canadian Speeches'' was published in 2004 and was a Canadian best seller.
