REGINA — Saskatchewan’s Opposition NDP says it’ll pressure Premier Scott Moe’s government to put Canada first as politicians return for the spring legislative sitting during a turbulent trade war with the United States.
NDP Leader Carla Beck says her party plans to introduce an emergency motion this week that calls on legislators to condemn U.S. President Donald Trump for proposing to annex Canada and imposing tariffs on Canadian goods.

She says Moe needs to stand up to Trump, who has slapped 25 per cent tariffs on Canadian steel and aluminum and plans to apply additional levies next month.
The federal government has retaliated with 25 per cent tariffs on U.S. goods worth $29.8 billion, and Saskatchewan has stopped purchasing American alcohol.
Moe’s Saskatchewan Party government is to also introduce a budget this week, with a focus on what the premier says will be health care, education and crime.
