It might not have packed quite the same visual punch as Prime Minister Justin Trudeau’s behaviour in the House of Commons on Wednesday, but the Saskatchewan government’s throne speech — delivered just the day prior — may be remembered for being equally as bizarre.
Specifically, because of the implicit rejection of climate change science, which was described as “some misguided dogma that has no basis in reality.”
The throne speech, delivered by Lieutenant General Vaughn Solomon Schofield, pointed to “oil and gas, coal and uranium, livestock and grains” as allegedly victimized sectors.
“They look at those jobs like they are somehow harming the country and the world,” she read. “To those people, my government has a message. You are wrong. You could not be more wrong.”
