"Yes, the number of fatal collisions increased exponentially in recent weeks, and yes, we are concerned."

Those words are from the officer in charge of the Saskatchewan RCMP Traffic Services, Superintendent Grant St. Germaine, as the RCMP reported 22 fatal collisions in their jurisdiction from September 1st to October 25th. This averaged out to a fatal collision every 2.5 days. In the time period from January 1st to August 31st - eight months - there were 36 fatal collisions. 

Since Monday, the nation’s attention has been on Saskatchewan, as Premier Scott Moe announced the government was directing SaskEnergy to, effective January 1st, stop collecting and remitting the federal carbon tax. The move came just days after Prime Minister Justin Trudeau announced there would be a three-year pause on the collection of the carbon tax on home heating oil. He had made the announcement in Atlantic Canada, the region where heating oil is more often seen. 

The Conservative Party of Canada has joined the chorus of calls across the country for the federal government to exempt home heating from the federal carbon tax. Opposition leader Pierre Poilievre introduced a motion for debate on the floor of the House of Commons Thursday, and it will go for a vote Monday.  

Souris-Moose Mountain Conservative MP Robert Kitchen explained what the initial announcement from Prime Minister Justin Trudeau contained, that ignited the whole controversy.

The question is no longer if the Saskatchewan Teachers' Federation will take job action, but when. Last Friday, the results from the vote by the members of the STF were announced - 90 percent of the members cast a ballot, and 95 percent of those were in favour of sanctions. 

Along with the rest of Saskatchewan, there has been a substantial increase in the number of fatal collisions on highways in southeast Saskatchewan. Throughout the province, there have been 22 fatal collisions in the past two months – six of those in southeast Saskatchewan. With the province’s RCMP responding to a fatal collision roughly every 2.5 days since September 1st, this is a sharp increase from the first eight months of the year, where there were a total of 36 fatal collisions.  

Just days after the federal government announced a pause on the carbon tax for home heating oil, as well as higher carbon tax rebates for those living in rural areas, the Premier of Saskatchewan, has fired back about what will happen in Saskatchewan. 

In an address released on social media, Scott Moe called on the federal government to remove the carbon tax on all home heating in Canada, no matter the source.
