NEARLY HALF OF SASKATCHEWAN HOUSEHOLDS STRUGGLE TO MAKE ENDS MEET: NEW STATSCAN DATA

Scott Moe & Sask. Party Fail To Make Life Affordable As Rate of Financial Struggle Higher Here Than Anywhere Else In Canada
REGINA – Saskatchewan families are facing greater financial pressure than anywhere else in Canada as Scott Moe unapologetically continues to pile on added taxes, rates hikes and fees.

New data released by Statistics Canada last week found nearly 47 per cent of Saskatchewan people report finding it difficult or very difficult to meet their household’s financial needs — that figure was higher than anywhere else in the country.
‎
The data covers the second quarter of 2025 and was up dramatically from the 31 per cent reporting it to be difficult or very difficult to meet their household’s financial needs in the first quarter of the year.
‎
In less than two weeks, Scott Moe and the Sask. Party plan to pile on increases to household power bills and on the insurance for 98 per cent of the vehicles running in Saskatchewan.
‎
“It’s clear we have a Premier and a government that stopped caring about the people they were elected to serve long ago,” said Sally Housser, Saskatchewan NDP Shadow Minister for Energy & Resources. “Not only do we have the great financial anxiety in the country, but Scott Moe insists only on making it worse.”
‎
Earlier this month, Saskatchewan NDP Leader Carla Beck demanded an emergency legislative session to cut Sask. Party taxes on groceries and clothing and to pass the Rent Control Act, introduced by the Official Opposition during the Fall Sitting. Rent in Saskatchewan has increased for 42-straight months.
‎
"We could go into the Legislature right now and lower the cost of living for Saskatchewan families — your move, Premier,” Housser said. “The Saskatchewan NDP knows it’s time for change. People are tired of 18 years of Sask. Party lies, waste and chaos. Frankly, they’re tired of paying for this government’s mess.
‎
“It’s time for change.”
