8:30 – During his speech celebrating his win in the federal election, Justin Trudeau addressed residents of Alberta and Saskatchewan, where no Liberal MPs were elected, saying “I’ve heard your frustration and I want to be there to support you. Let us all work hard to bring our country together.” Saskatchewan Premier Scott Moe responded by sending Trudeau a letter challenging him to follow through on his promise. “We need action, not words,” Moe wrote, and suggested immediately canceling the federal carbon tax, committing to renegotiate equalization payments, and commit to a pipeline construction plan. Moe joins Gormley now to discuss his reaction to Trudeau’s re-election and what it means for Saskatchewan’s relationship with Ottawa.

Should other energy employees be concerned? To help answer these questions, John caught up with Danielle Smith, radio host with NewsTalk770 in Calgary.
