We are still waiting for an unequivocal condemnation of western separation from Saskatchewan Premier Scott Moe.

That means more than getting Trade and Export Development Minister Jeremy Harrison to say, “We are not in favour of separation. period.” It needs to come from the actual Saskatchewan premier, and — evidently — it’s going to have to be repeated to drive the message home.

Yet nearly three weeks after the federal election andMoe’s unproductive first salvo, in which he demanded that Prime Minister Justin Trudeau adopt everything he didn’t run on, the Saskatchewan premier still hasn’t provided one clear, unqualified and unequivocal condemnation of #wexit and separation talk. He needs to do so.

We all get the Trudeau/Liberal arrogance as a source of frustration. But we clearly need to separate that from the separation talk.

If for no other reason, Moe needs to address this because the mere talk of separation is bad for our economy. We’re worried about losing Encana jobs to the U.S. because of Canada’a current unfavourable political environment? How do people think Wall Street reacts to separation talk?
