Saskatchewan premier says he can ‘get behind’ Ottawa’s energy superpower vision | Globalnews.ca

Saskatchewan Premier Scott Moe says he can truly get behind some of the statements Prime Minister Mark Carney has made about making Canada an energy superpower.

Moe says he can hardly be called a member of the “Liberal booster club” and it’s unusual for him to express support for that political stripe.

But he says Carney’s talk about moving forward nation-building projects to get Canadian resources to new markets is encouraging, though it must be backed up with action — and soon.
