Moe says he's Canadian but wouldn't stop vote on Saskatchewan separating from Canada
Saskatchewan Premier Scott Moe says he’s a true Canadian but wouldn’t stop a public vote on separating from the country if it came forward.
Moe says residents are allowed to trigger provincial legislation for a plebiscite on the issue.
He says he does not judge people for having different opinions, but says he supports a united Canada.
Saskatchewan law allows the public to bring forward a petition for a plebiscite as long as 15 per cent of eligible voters sign on.
Opposition NDP Leader Carla Beck says Moe should rule out a vote on separation.

Later spraying may help with DON - Agronomists change their advice as to when to spray for fusarium infection
WINNIPEG — Wheat growers in North Dakota have altered how they use fungicides to control fusarium head blight.
Many farmers now apply fungicides later, after flowers first appear on wheat heads, to cut the risk of fusarium damaged kernels (FDK) and reduce levels of deoxynivalenol (DON) in cereals.
Western Canadian farmers should make a similar switch, says a plant pathologist with Agriculture Canada in Alberta.
Right now, some agronomists and grower groups say the ideal fungicide timing starts when 75 per cent of wheat heads are fully emerged.
