The editor:
I am sick and tired of the east pushing their agenda on us in the west. So are many others.
This has been going on far too long but our current crop of politicians doesn’t seem to have the intestinal fortitude to confront the feds and do anything about it. Because of their population numbers, especially in the big cities, they of course are able to accomplish this.
The elections are over before our votes are counted in the west. Our premier has been speaking about the idea of a nation within a nation. The idea, I think, has some merit. Not to say we should be thinking about separation from the rest of Canada but some kind of association, where we in Saskatchewan and the west can control our own destiny.
Pipelines, firearms, policing, the oil industry and pollution are a few things that come to mind where the feds have way too much power and control over us in the west. The east, especially southern Ontario and Quebec, has much different needs than we do in the west, and of course we must recognize that.
Will it ever happen? I doubt it, all talk and no action most likely.
Come on Premier Scott Moe, if you are going to talk about it, let’s get on with it and get ‘er done and not have a bunch more meaningless political rambling.
