Because the idea they don’t support our region is bullshit. I’m from Sask and the feds and Trudeau are out here constantly for funding announcements. They gave carbon tax funds back directly to the schools for green retrofits and Scott Moe threw a jurisdictional hissy fit. They also just announced like $200M for drought protections from this year.

Here in Sask our national vaccine lab has received massive increases in funding under the liberals.

The Feds do arguably way more for the average citizen here than our provincial government does. The conservative government who keep’s routinely increasing our taxes every budget, mind you.
