Manitoba Hydro ends two US contracts, seeks to sell power to Nunavut and possibly Saskatchewan

Before the Manitoba premier pulls out of US contracts, maybe he should have lined up a willing buyer?

Jim Warren once again knocks it out of the park.

They could have just asked me: Saskatchewan beats Alberta and Quebec in wanting to leave Canada if Carney wins

The recently released data from Angus Reid shows that who the winning party will be matters greatly to residents of Saskatchewan in particular. Saskatchewan’s 14 federal ridings have remained entirely Conservative for the past two elections. That could be why the predominantly Conservative province is the most likely to plan an escape route if Liberals win.

The percentage of residents from Saskatchewan who said they would vote “yes” to leave Canada to become an independent country went from 20 per cent, initially, to 33 per cent, if Liberals won. Meanwhile, the percentage of residents who believed the province should join the United States went from 17 per cent, initially, to 23 per cent, if Liberals won. (To the south, Saskatchewan shares its borders with American states North Dakota and Montana.)

Kind of them to explain to Canadians where to look for us on a map.
