Saskatchewan Premier Brad Wall wants to grow a moustache for Movember despite the disappointment of his staff and -- more importantly -- his wife.

Wall says that's because they've seen pictures of him from the 1980s when he had a 'stache and they think it looks dumb.

Movember is a campaign that encourages clean-shaven men to grow a moustache in November to raise awareness for prostate cancer.

Wall says he will go ahead if $3,000 is raised by Nov. 1.

However, the fair-haired Wall admits there might not be a noticeable difference even by the end of November because the fuzz on his face doesn't grow very quickly.

The premier also jokes that he's not sure what colour the moustache will be.
