The province causing pain in Ottawa’s side these days isn’t Quebec or Alberta — it’s Saskatchewan, where Premier Scott Moe this year 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 this week to explain how the onetime NDP heartland has turned rebel against the left’s centralized-control agenda, as it fights against Justin Trudeau’s carbon taxes and censorship policies. He also discusses how brewing problems in the ageing Saskatchewan Party government (including a bizarre texting scandal) risk undermining all of it. (Recorded July 11, 2024)
