A Saskatchewan premier using a nautical reference always makes me giggle.

It's too bad that's the only funny thing about Scott Moe and his government's long and destructive grip on power in that province.

Premier Scott Moe says Sask. needs his steady hand in choppy waters ahead | CBC News

In a year-end interview, Premier Scott Moe said his major regret for 2025 is not visiting Denare Beach sooner. The northern village was devastated this summer when wildfire destroyed 200 homes.

Its a conspiracy of conservative governments in Canada, attempting Trumpism through rhe back door.

Ugly ugly shit. Like a COUP.

The #NDP can deal with these situations for the good of Canadians. We can levy special export duties to keep the facilities in Canada. There's more than one way governments can better control Canada's natural resources than simply caving into corporate demands and threats veiled as maintaining a competitive edge. Dismantling our approval protections will not benefit the majority of Canadians. #cdnpoli #saskpoli #bcpoli #socialism #elbowsup

Facing a $349M deficit (or double that if you include the uncollected carbon levy) Saskatchewan is full steam ahead on coal with a plan to spend close to a billion dollars on refurbishing coal.

They’ve ruled out converting to gas (not much better), or even mentioning solar or wind for…reasons? Energy security?

Read my update on the SaskPower plan to burn more coal despite it being the dirtiest fossil fuel.

Saskatchewan Cites Energy Security in $900M Coal Refurbishment

Saskatchewan is pressing ahead with its plan to keep burning coal for electricity, committing $900 million over four years to refurbish its coal-fired power plants in the face of a projected $349-million budget deficit.

Saskatchewan Premier Moe says Canada should remove tariff on Chinese EVs

Asked how Canada could remove the electric vehicle tariff without angering President Donald Trump, Moe said there are sensitivities to consider.

The Flatlander

The Saskatchewan government is hoping to delay and dismiss a case brought by a group of three Saskatchewan and Manitoba residents who say extending coal past Canada’s 2030 deadline is illegal.

The judge in the case is considering whether she should take on the case while the province gets busy with plans to refurbish plants, increasing the amount of coal they burn for electricity.

And Environment and Climate Change Canada replied to my questions with a mild threat.
