Carbon tax and conspiracy theories: What’s happening in Saskatchewan politics?

The House

Farmers are not feeling the love from Ottawa, these days. Some in Saskatchewan told The House this week about feeling alienated and misunderstood by the federal government or urban Canadians.

We also speak with Saskatchewan Premier Scott Moe about how he sees the state of the federation and how he’s handled some tricky run-ins with conspiracy theories recently. The NDP opposition leader, Carla Beck, also weighs in on her party’s positions.

Then, two experts in provincial politics join the show to break down the political dynamics that are animating the conversation in Saskatchewan ahead of this fall’s election.

This episode features the voices of:

• Saskatchewan Premier Scott Moe
• Sask. NDP Leader Carla Beck
• The CBC’s Adam Hunter
• Jim Farney, professor, University of Regina
