SCOTT MOE SELLS OUT SASKATCHEWAN STEEL

NDP Joins United Steelworkers To Demand Premier Stand Up to Trump and Stop Handing Pipeline Jobs to Ontario

REGINA – While Saskatchewan steelworkers face crushing tariffs from Donald Trump, Scott Moe is handing our pipeline jobs to Ontario and leaving Regina workers behind.

The Sask. Party’s much-touted recent Memorandum of Understanding between Ontario, Alberta, and Saskatchewan to build a pipeline east includes no language about prioritizing Saskatchewan steel specifically. The Government of Ontario’s press release states "Built using Ontario steel, new pipelines will connect western Canadian oil and gas to new and existing refineries in southern Ontario and will expand export opportunities, including by way of a new James Bay deep-sea port in northern Ontario.”

“This isn’t leadership — it’s surrender,” said Aleana Young, Saskatchewan NDP Shadow Minister for Jobs & Economy. “Moe’s job is to stand up for Saskatchewan. Instead, he’s letting Trump hammer our steel industry while giving Ontario the contract to build our pipelines. It’s shameful.”

“Why would Scott Moe sign on to a press release saying new projects will be built with Ontario steel?”

“Is he kneeling to Doug Ford or is he running such a sloppy government that he forgot about steelworkers in Saskatchewan?”

Earlier this year, Moe promised to stand up to Trump’s tariffs. He said he’d cancel contracts and keep American products off Saskatchewan shelves. Recently, he quietly put U.S. booze back on shelves and abandoned his so-called “local procurement” efforts, which really didn’t see any action beyond trying to convince people that California-based companies were somehow “local.”

“Everywhere he goes, Scott Moe bends the knee — to Trump, to Ford, to big corporations out east,” said Sally Housser, Saskatchewan NDP Shadow Minister for Energy & Resources. “He’s not defending Saskatchewan — he’s selling us out. He needs to decide if he’s selling out Saskatchewan steel, or if he’s going to stand up to Doug Ford and demand a retraction and renegotiate this MOU.

“Scott Moe picked a side. And it wasn’t Saskatchewan.

“The Saskatchewan NDP will fight to keep our jobs here, to build pipelines with our steel, and to show that Saskatchewan workers will never be second place in our own province.”
