The province causing pain in Ottawa’s side these days isn’t Quebec or Alberta — it’s Saskatchewan, where Premier Scott Moe unilaterally declared his province would not be forced to pay carbon taxes on natural gas. So far, the courts are backing him up. John Gormley, former dean of the province’s talk radio (and former MP), joins Brian Lilley this week to explain how the onetime NDP heartland has turned against the left’s centralized-control agenda, as it fights against Prime Minister Justin Trudeau’s carbon taxes and censorship policies. He also discusses how brewing problems in the aging Saskatchewan Party government (including a bizarre texting scandal) risk undermining all of it. (Recorded July 11, 2024.)
