BECK PLEDGES TO GROW MOOSE JAW’S ECONOMY, CUT COSTS FOR FAMILIES

Saskatchewan NDP Holds Caucus Meeting In City Focused On Economy, Pressing Issues Identified By Local Residents.
MOOSE JAW – Nearly the entire 27-member Saskatchewan NDP Caucus is in Moose Jaw today to meet with residents, celebrate the local Sidewalk Days Festival and discuss how to build a bright future for the city and region in the face of major challenges and opportunities.
“We can build our own economic future by getting major, nation building projects done — I’m talking about more powerlines, more pipelines and more rail lines, including shortline rail, which we know is critical to getting our agricultural products to market,” said Saskatchewan NDP Leader Carla Beck.
“I’m talking about removing interprovincial trade barriers, promoting a Saskatchewan-first approach to government contracts for major projects and also doing more to cut taxes that are hammering household budgets of working families.”
The Saskatchewan NDP Caucus was spending some of the morning in an internal strategic discussion before taking part in the local festival and conducting a series of meetings with community leaders.
Beck said the region is full of incredible opportunity but 2025 has also brought challenges — the negative impact of a potential trade war with Donald Trump, the rising threat of separatism and Chinese tariffs on canola, canola meal, and peas are particularly devastating to such a vibrant agribusinesss centre as Moose Jaw.
 “I have personally written to the new Prime Minister Mark Carney to insist that everything possible be done to end these punitive measures immediately — even removing the tariff on electric vehicles from China if that’s what it takes,” Beck said.
Beck encouraged Moose Jaw residents and all Saskatchewan people to sign a petition advocating for passing her legislation to Keep Saskatchewan In Canada at KeepSaskatchewanInCanada.ca.
“In the weeks to come, you will continue to see more proposals from the Saskatchewan NDP to create good-paying jobs, reduce our reliance on the United States and drive investment into our province,” Beck said.
“We know that Saskatchewan is stronger within a united Canada — and the Saskatchewan NDP won’t stop fighting for Saskatchewan, for our country and for our future.”
