Federal Election Disengagement in Saskatchewan

Saskatchewan voters show low interest in farm issues amid federal election and US trade tensions.

key points from this story:

  • Federal election underway amid US trade tensions
  • Trump’s actions dominate election discourse
  • Premier Scott Moe’s response to tariffs questioned
  • Saskatchewan and Alberta likely to support Conservatives
  • Limited influence for Prairie provinces in Ottawa
  • Low interest in farm issues during election

So we’re in the middle of a federal election in case you missed that fact. It’s pretty easy to be disengaged from the election – at least in Saskatchewan right now – for a number of reasons.

Of course the continuing trade war barrages being fired in the daily tantrums out of the ‘Oval Office’ by US president Donald Trump of course are a main focus, as they must be as he is the overwhelming threat to Canadian trade and sovereignty.
