Saskatchewan Premier urges Trudeau to call election and “do what’s best”

Saskatchewan Premier Scott Moe has called on Prime Minister Trudeau to call an election and “do the right thing” in the face of potential export tariffs from the U.S. president-elect. Moe expressed his concerns during an interview with Global News, where he highlighted the possibility of tariffs on oil, potash, and uranium exports from Canada to the United States. The Premier described the idea of taxing Canadians on their own products as “exactly as ridiculous as it sounds.”

Moe emphasized the need for Canadians to have the opportunity to choose who will represent them at the table, especially in light of the looming trade challenges with the United States. He urged Prime Minister Trudeau to act in the best interest of the country by allowing Canadians to make a decision on their leadership. Moe’s call for an election comes as a response to the uncertainty surrounding Canada’s economic future and trade relations with the United States under the incoming administration.

The Premier’s appeal to Trudeau reflects the growing concerns among Canadian leaders about the potential impact of U.S. policies on Canadian exports and the economy. Moe’s request for an election underscores the importance of democratic decision-making in shaping Canada’s response to external challenges. As the Canadian government navigates the complexities of international trade relations and economic policies, Moe’s call for an election serves as a reminder of the need for transparent and accountable leadership in uncertain times.
