Saskatchewan Premier Brad Wall has gone to a surprising source in his campaign against the federal Liberal government’s proposal for impose carbon price on Canada’s provinces.

“When I take a look at Hillary Clinton’s climate change plan, I wish Justin Trudeau’s was a little more like Hillary Clinton’s,” Wall told reporters Wednesday morning.

A position paper on combatting climate change from the website of Democratic presidential candidate Hillary Clinton was the topic of a media scrum by the premier, who noted that Clinton‘s document says not a word about a carbon price and makes a positive reference to carbon sequestration and storage (CCS).

Installed at SaskPower’s Boundary Dam 3 power generation plant near Estevan, that’s the technology that Wall has been citing as evidence of Saskatchewan’s commitment to addressing climate change.

The premier also indicated he’ll be outlining his alternative to Trudeau’s plan in an speech to a Regina & District Chamber of Commerce luncheon next week.
