Separation not the answer to increased independence for Saskatchewan, premier says

REGINA — Saskatchewan Premier Scott Moe says all options are on the table when it comes to expanding his province’s autonomy, except for separation.“I don’t think Saskatchewan separating from the nation is the answer,” he said following question period Wednesday in the Saskatchewan legislature.

“However, I am not going to denounce the feelings and the conversations that are happening by Saskatchewan people,” he said. “What we’re considering is the conversation about what opportunities we may have to enhance our provincial autonomy.”Moe said Tuesday, after what he called a disappointing meeting with Prime Minister Justin Trudeau, that the province would be looking at ways of increasing its independence.

Alberta Premier Jason Kenney, who shares Moe’s concerns about how they believe Ottawa is treating the energy-producing provinces, has floated ideas such as pulling out of the RCMP in favour of a provincial police force or withdrawing from the Canada Pension Plan. Saskatchewan Opposition NDP Leader Ryan Meili said Moe needs to denounce separating from Canada rather than flirting with the idea by bringing up provincial autonomy.“He doesn’t want to alienate any of his base and, as a result, fails to take any positions of conscience.”

It is the answer

Then stop fanning the flames.

Given the fact that funnelling western money into Quebec for votes is at the heart of Canadian politics, I don’t see many other viable options to stop western coffers from being raided to support luxuries in Quebec...

Like perry bellegarde he was appointed and should not be making decision for us.
