‘Waters are choppy’: Moe reflects on year that brought uncertainty and more problems
Saskatchewan faces a $427-million deficit and ongoing wildfire recovery while tariff impacts strain exports, prompting government action on health, education, and addiction support.
- On Dec. 28, 2025, Saskatchewan Premier Scott Moe reflected on a turbulent year, noting wildfires destroyed half the village of Denare Beach and promising a third-party review while declining a public inquiry.
- Moe said the province's deficit, which shifted from a surplus to a $427-million shortfall, risks forcing expense cuts, as Beck stated, `The Toronto bankers are going to have a good Christmas, but unfortunately it's Saskatchewan people who are struggling just to put food on the table who are picking up the tab.`
- The province introduced the bill this month to address addictions and will consult into the new year while hiring staff, building urgent care centres, and adding nurse practitioners.
- Opposition leader Carla Beck charged the measures are too little, too late, citing 18 years of slow action that slid the province from first to last and into a projected $40-billion debt, while the Saskatchewan Party holds no seats in Regina and only one in Saskatoon.
- Moe signalled his government won't block potash exports or levy export taxes and urged people to "take a breath" amid U.S. tariff threats and India levies causing uncertainty.
