Alberta and Saskatchewan Premiers trading jabs again over economy

Jan 19, 2018 | 9:14 AM

CALGARY – Premier Rachel Notley has some advice for the next leader of Saskatchewan, handle the economy differently than the government has under current Premier Brad Wall.

Notley says whoever wins the Saskatchewan Party’s leadership race next week can learn a thing or two from Alberta.

Wall, who’s leaving politics, responded to Notley’s comments with a few rhetorical punches of his own.

He says his advice to his successor will be to not listen to an NDP premier who imposed a carbon tax on her oil-dependent economy and is presiding over an annual 10-billion dollar deficit.

Wall also says Notley has not been standing up to the federal government and added if her government is not prepared to defend the interests of Alberta, Saskatchewan would be happy to help.

Wall has also traded jabs with Notley in the past on everything from provincial budgets to beer taxes.

There’s also the interprovincial spat over Saskatchewan banning Alberta licence plates on trucks working on future government road and infrastructure projects.
