Conservative Party leadership candidate and TV personality Kevin O’Leary says Saskatchewan is the “best-managed province in the country” and that other provinces should learn from what Premier Brad Wall has done in the last decade.

“Saskatchewan’s the new Alberta,” O’Leary said Tuesday during a campaign stop at the University of Saskatchewan.

“Basically, since 2007, stewardship of this province is the shining example of how all provinces in Canada should be run: Pro-growth, pro-energy, pro-jobs, pro-pipelines, pro-capital … We need to make this kind of tonality every province’s tonality so this is the example I’m going to be using for what the rest of Canada has to look like.”

O’Leary has promised, if he becomes prime minister, to cut federal transfers to provinces that are not contributing to economic growth. He has been vocal in his criticisms of Alberta Premier Rachel Notley and Ontario Premier Kathleen Wynne, saying their policies are no good for the country.
