Last night, Premier Scott Moe didn’t just congratulate Ontario PC Leader Doug Ford on his election win, he said “tonight, Saskatchewan has a new ally.”
But in the wake of Donald Trump’s new tariffs – which have the potential to impact hundreds of steel jobs in Saskatchewan – Moe’s choice in allies raises more questions than answers.
As someone who has previously said that he “absolutely” supports Donald Trump and “wouldn’t waiver,” Moe’s praise of Doug Ford begs the question:
Why would Moe choose an unwavering Trump supporter as his new ally when there’s so much at stake for Saskatchewan workers with Trump’s job-killing steel tariffs?
Instead of trying to shore-up support among right-wing Trump supporters in Ontario, perhaps Premier Moe should focus on creating jobs in Saskatchewan and addressing our province’s dead-last rating for job creation.
My thoughts are with the 117 workers and their families who will be impacted by this decision.
These are families being thrown into financial anxiety, because of the total mismanagement of Saskatchewan's forestry industry by Scott Moe and the Sask. Party.
From refusing to assist the forest sector when it comes to Donald Trump's tariffs, to allowing disease, insects, and wildfires to devastate forests and destroy investment, it’s clear that Scott Moe and the Sask. Party don't view our forests as assets worth managing.
Our team has made a number of calls to support the forest sector, including allowing dues free salvage of the burned areas to aid reforestation, to focusing on replanting to show a commitment to growth.
Carla Beck’s team has listened to the industry and community stakeholders for the forest sector, and are working to support them to protect the good jobs and communities that rely on them.
The Sask. Party has failed the forest sector, workers and communities for nearly two decades, and now 117 workers in Prince Albert are facing the consequences.
It’s time for change.
