We stand with Ukraine.
My Saskatchewan NDP colleagues and I were honoured to be hosted by the Ukrainian Canadian Congress of Saskatchewan this morning.
Russia started the war with an illegal invasion. Ukraine will win it.
We talked this morning about the incredible work UCC does and its long history in our province.
We also reinforced the Saskatchewan NDP’s commitment to open our province to Ukrainian refugees if Trump follows through on a deeply harmful plan to deport them from the United States.
Slava Ukraini. 🇺🇦
“#Saskatchewan is one of the only provinces to apply a sales tax to key business investments and, as a result, #Sask has the third-highest marginal tax rate on investment in #Canada.”

Great piece ⬇️
A must-read for this province, especially in the face of tariffs.
Happy International Women’s Day from our women-led @Sask_NDP Caucus.
These women are some of the strongest people I know, and I am so incredibly proud to do this work by their side.
I will always be an ally to women and gender-diverse people in their fight for equality.
The Greek community contributes so much to Saskatchewan.
I want thank those who organized another successful An Evening in Greece event tonight in Regina.
It would be nice if this went without saying, but the government doesn't decide what gender you are.
Queer people have always existed, and will always exist. The USaskNDP is committed to maintianing a safe place on campus for all students, free from judgement or discrimination.
Saskatchewan NDP Shadow Minister for Jobs & Economy @AleanaYoung during a news conference today demanding the Bunge-Viterra merger be stopped:
“We are one week from a devastating trade war with the United States. Shrugging our shoulders and letting an American-based company steamroll our economy is stupid.”
I couldn’t agree with Aleana more.
The Bunge-Viterra merger will cost Saskatchewan producers $770 million annually.
I am also deeply concerned the Premier Scott Moe has refused to publicly oppose the merger. Asked by SaskToday on Jan. 31 about the merger, Moe said, “No. I wouldn't say oppose[d]. I would say their concerns have been raised, and Bunge is very actively working towards addressing those concerns…”
The Saskatchewan NDP is demanding Scott Moe withdraw his comments and formally oppose the job-killing Bunge-Viterra merger.
It’s time for a government focused on our economy, on protecting jobs and securing our economic future.

As Donald Trump is just days away from imposing devastating tariffs, it’s time to bet big on Saskatchewan and Canada.
Our country is first and we will never be the 51st state.
That’s why today the Saskatchewan NDP is launching our Shop Local. Shop Sask. campaign at https://t.co/lEd02QEtzq.
On our website, you can share your favourite local businesses and we will feature them on our site for others to support.
There is also a formal petition for you to sign and a series of social media shareable.
This is a call to action. I know so many of you are already making a conscious effort to buy from local businesses and support local products. Let’s get others onboard.
Let’s build a bright future together. Join our Shop Local. Shop Sask. Campaign today!
We need pipelines to tidewater, not to Trump.
Talking about sending our high-quality Canadian oil to the US while President Trump continues to threaten tariffs and our very sovereignty every day is not leadership.
Donald Trump made it clear today that devastating, 25 per cent tariffs are coming next week.
I am glad the Premier is in Washington today. That’s one important piece of the work that needs to proceed.
But meetings alone aren’t enough. We need a plan.
We should be in the Saskatchewan Legislature right now developing that plan — one to protect jobs, diversify the economy and expand market access and, yes, to retaliate with our own measures.
I am continuing to call for an emergency session. We don’t want a trade war, but we must show strength. We must make it clear these tariffs will hurt jobs and drive up the cost of living on both sides of the border.
The Saskatchewan NDP is here and ready to help deliver a plan to fight these tariffs and focus on our economic future in such uncertain times.

We are so excited to launch our Shop Local. Shop Sask. campaign!
This morning I joined @CarlaBeckSK at the @SaskMadeMarket to launch the campaign.
You can get involved! Go to https://t.co/yhrxb1Snh4 and input your favourite local business to help others shop locally! #sask
Donald Trump wants more Canadian energy? He needs to scrap his plan for devastating tariffs.
That’s what Scott Moe should be saying. That’s the leadership we need.
And, for the record, Canada comes first, for me and the entire Saskatchewan NDP. We will never be the 51st state. 🇨🇦

Today, we learned that Scott Moe and the Sask. Party have rejected calls for an emergency sitting of the Saskatchewan Legislature to develop both a proper response to the Trump tariffs threat and a plan to secure our economic future.
We know the tariffs threatened by Trump will be devastating and kill jobs. Still, the Sask. Party can’t be bothered to show up for work.
We see no plan to fight these tariffs, diversify Saskatchewan’s economy and deliver jobs and good wages.
The Saskatchewan NDP is here. We’re putting forward ideas each and every day and are focused on our future. My message to Scott Moe and the Sask. Party is this — get back to work.
The Sask party uses underhanded tactics to win, then avoids showing up to work.
The time has come for Premier Moe and the Sask Party to recall the legislature so that Saskatchewan can form a plan to defend ourselves from these economic attacks.
Under the Sask. Party’s plan, the Legislature will not reopen until March 19 — and we’re on track to see two rounds of job-killing tariffs before then.
We export $27 billion dollars' worth of products to the US every year and all face a 25 per cent tariff
By the time this House sits, Saskatchewan steel exports could be facing an even higher 50 per cent tariff.
This is a potential trade war and yet the guys on the other side of the House are missing in action.
The time to develop and debate a plan to address these job-killing, cost-hiking tariffs was weeks ago, not in a month from now after people are out of the job and everything at the checkout is even more expensive.
The Sask. Party is doing as little as possible when they should be working around the clock to protect our future.

Happy Louis Riel Day. Today commemorates the life of Louis Riel, the brave Métis leader, and Manitoba's first Premier who lead the Métis Resistance against the Canadian government. We acknowledge the ongoing Indigenous fight for sovereignty.
We would hope this goes without saying, but diversity doesn't cause plane crashes, or harm anyone.
The Sask NDP has a proudly diverse caucus, because it represents Saskatchewan's diversity.
The NDP have a wide array of different viewpoints forming an opposition to speak for all.
The @Sask_NDP is calling for an emergency meeting of the Standing Committee on the Economy to address Scott Moe’s failure to stand up for #Saskatchewan.
Investment is fleeing #Sask in droves.
This committee must meet to chart a new course for our economy that works.
#skpoli
This afternoon, the Deputy Chair of #Saskatchewan’s Standing Committee on the Economy, @tajindergrewal, asked the chair to call an emergency meeting to assess the economic consequences of the Bunge-Viterra merger and the pausing of a major value-added investment project.
