Saskatchewan First: Province seeking more autonomy over resources, economic future
Oct 26, 2022 | 1:08 PM

REGINA — Premier Scott Moe has his eyes set on flexing Saskatchewan’s autonomy with legislation akin to Alberta’s proposed sovereignty act.

Lt.-Gov. Russell Mirastry, in the throne speech, has laid out the Saskatchewan Party government’s agenda for the fall session of the legislature.

He says Saskatchewan will seek more independence, especially over its natural resources.

Canada’s Constitution already separates provincial and federal powers, but Saskatchewan wants the writing in its own laws.

The government is set in the coming days to introduce the Saskatchewan First Act.

It says the intent is to define that “Saskatchewan alone” has exclusive jurisdiction over its natural resources and economic future.

“The legislation will draw the jurisdictional line and defend that line based on the existing constitutional division of powers,” Mirasty said. “To be clear, this is not about abrogating or ignoring the Constitution.”

Moe made a commitment that his government would “respect and follow all the laws of the land” as it puts forward these changes.

“We’re trying to do everything we can as a province to try to provide clarity for the investment community and for Saskatchewan residents, as well as Canadians,” Moe said Wednesday.

He said emission caps on fertilizer or oil production is outside the bounds of the federal government’s jurisdiction.

Saskatchewan lost a constitutional challenge against Ottawa on the carbon tax, but Moe said he doesn’t believe it set a precedent for other federal environmental policies.

“The weighing in on the carbon tax policy doesn’t pre-empt that it’s going to work on all these other… (federal environmental) polices,” said Moe, who has previously said he would take legal actions against them.

Saskatchewan is already set to intervene in the constitutional challenge of Canada’s Impact Assessment Act, should it move to the Supreme Court of Canada. It allows the government to assess environmental impacts of projects on federal lands before they go ahead.

This is worth repeating Jazz. Danielle Smith wants to do a similar bill in Alberta. The woke snowflakes consider her a dangerous heretic.

Sell off the assets machines buildings and then rent them back .what can go wrong.
Still got sask power sask tel sgi
And medicare.

You misspelled mediocre.
Visit a hospital in the US if you wish to compare what a shambles health care in SK is.
People waiting a whole day in emerg to see a doctor. Dirty hospitals (RUH). People can’t get family Drs.
It’s costing fortune and more money is not improving it.
Health care is on life support and the model is broken.
Government can’t run anything properly.

[Sheepwheat]

Why do i call them conservatives?

How about the
Wild Crocus party

Wild lily.

This govt. Can't run anything , on that you are correct.
I am sure that the public would support
Fixing the weak parts of medicare.
It is still a bargin at 60% of US healthcare costs.
You could go south and pay 20$ for a tylenol in a hospital . Or a few pennies here for one. plus the one minute of nurses wages to give it to you. Another 2 bucks tops.
Or 200$ for a vial of insulin compared to 30$ here. Etc etc
.
If you want to create a bunch of jobs that really do not need to exist.and do not do a single thing to make you better. You could try the American system.
Hell billers,adjustors, lawyers ,collection agencys insurance co.s , advertising agents , on and on.
Plus more nurses time to bill for every
Band aid and 20$ tylenol.
Oh ya thats progress.
Save money , just fix what we have got.

Canadian health care is better than American. Are you serious.

Canada has no research anymore, no innovation, buy socializing our system keeps the drug companies out of here, so we are last to get the drugs and then we go ahead and price fix them.

Govt handed 30M to those vido vax fools in Sasktoon 2 yrs ago and they still havent created anything.

Go to an emergency room, you will see everyone fdrom a guy with a sprained thumb to terminal cancer patients sitting there. Its a total mess and its going to collapse.

The cost for US health insurance is about the same as a cell phone plan. Anyone not covered by health insurance has made that choice.

You didn’t really need this long of a explainer to say you’ve never been to a US hospital.
Is their system perfect? Of course not. But ours is such a complete cluster f@&k it needs a total rebuild. Government can’t and won’t do it so here we are, waiting in emerg…

I agree the government can't do anything efficiently.
Including managing right sizing and channeling efficiencies effectively. Saving money instead of blowing it elsewhere.
IF! managed properly a two service health system should work well.
We have a CWB type now. No one gets ahead except the elites so we all suffer. People are so polarized on this issue however change will be impossible on a factor 100x the cwb. Again, another job for a strong sensible premier. Screw Ottawa.
Regarding liquor sales.
I can only look back at the govt brick buildings with clockwatcher employees.
Here now it's family businesses. With normally a certain ethnic concentration.
It's still regulated by ALGC. Extended hours alone worth it. You'll look back and go meh.

The elites go to Rochester for medical exams 1 to 2x a year...in their own planes...

[SASKFARMER]

yep , and closed for long weekends , shut till 11:00 am

We have had to use the U.S. health system a couple of times on trips south. Thank God we had insurance or we would not be farming today.Service was good , cost was stupid for what we had done. Every little aspect is charged out to a separate company, talk about an adminsrtative nightmare.There was one charge that was sent to the wrong insurance company , over a year later and we had a collectiion agency threating us.Until you have had direct experience with there system, you really have no idea how shitty their system is also.Oh and their medicine is 10 times ours , thats why they come to Canada to fill their prescriptions.

[blackpowder]

I would never advocate an all or nothing. Which is what we have in North America.
I'm certain there is a better way. We have to stop screaming bloody murder every time any change is mentioned.
