Description: As U.S. President Donald Trump continues to propose absorbing Canada, Saskatchewan Premier Scott Moe disregards the threat — but says Canada needs to prioritize energy and food security to avoid putting itself in a ‘vulnerable position,’ and criticizes a ‘lack of leadership’ from the federal Liberal government.

    How about we bring back the wheat board? Dairy and Poultry products are the most secure industries because they are supply managed.

    How about we nationalize the energy sector? Norway has a very secure energy industry because its profits go right to helping people rather than in the pockets of corporations.

      Nah, I bet we’ll get rid of the rest of supply management instead to appease the unappealable. Under PP, I’m fairly certain this will happen. Under Carney, not so certain but I think it might still be on the cards.

          For me it’s all talk till I see it in action. Too many examples of people talking to the left, governing to the right. So while I know what you’re saying and have heard him say good things, I’m skeptical until proven otherwise. With that said I’m voting for him for a leader and will vote ABC in my riding, which most likely means LPC since the NDP doesn’t cross 10% here. ☺️

            That’s fair. I just remember him when he led the BoC during the 2008-09 crash. He was often on tv talking about where we stood economically, and what other government orgs and the bank were doing to help us.

            I admired his forthrightness and honesty then, and I still see it now.
