The Editor:
The Saskatchewan Green Party is warning the new prime minister against violating Real Change by attacking the economic interests of the western provinces.
In the recent federal election, most Saskatchewan and Alberta voters didn’t vote for Justin Trudeau and the Liberals because his government might harm Western Canada economically. Trudeau should strive to end western alienation. Trudeau’s greatest challenge as prime minister will be not to alienate Western Canadians.
Our party will monitor the economic decisions to be made by the new Liberal government very diligently. The people of the west want their prosperity to continue under the new government, but fear it will end if Trudeau adopts a new version of the National Energy Program (NEP). Real Change means ending western alienation by building the economies of the western provinces, one opportunity at a time.
