‘No’: Moe shuts down Elon Musk’s calls for Saskatchewan to separate
Moe said Saskatchewan would stay in Canada after Musk urged 3 provinces to break away, while Alberta faces a referendum on separation.
- On Wednesday, Saskatchewan Premier Scott Moe publicly rejected a suggestion from Elon Musk that Saskatchewan and Alberta should separate from Canada, replying simply "No" on X.
- Musk's comments followed news regarding Quebec premier-designate Paul St-Pierre Plamondon, who stated his dream of Quebec independence "will be realized one day," prompting the tech titan to argue the Prairie provinces should also separate.
- Although Moe has previously spoken against Saskatchewan separating from Canada, he defended Alberta Premier Danielle Smith's right to include separation questions in referendums, noting Saskatchewan maintains similar plebiscite legislation.
- Alberta Premier Danielle Smith scheduled a referendum for Oct 19, asking voters whether to remain in Canada or hold a second, binding vote on separation; Smith was not immediately available to comment.
- Moe stated his government would "follow the law" if residents petitioned for a plebiscite, maintaining he is a true Canadian despite these legislative considerations regarding separation.
