Sask. premier, prime minister have conversation about COVID-19
CBC
Prime Minister Justin Trudeau and Saskatchewan Premier Scott Moe are talking again.
The Prime Minister's Office says Trudeau spoke with Moe on Wednesday to discuss the pandemic.
"The prime minister reiterated that the government of Canada remains ready to respond to any requests from the government of Saskatchewan and encouraged the premier to submit specific needs as they emerge," a statement from the PMO said.
"He committed to working with the province to provide additional supports to keep people safe."
The communication between Moe and Trudeau came after some heated statements lobbed in each others direction.
During the election Trudeau criticized Saskatchewan's handling of the pandemic amid soaring COVID-19 case numbers.
Then, a little more than a week ago, Moe lambasted Trudeau for holding a snap election, calling it "pointless" and suggesting Ottawa should do more to boost vaccination rates in Saskatchewan.
Intelligence regarding foreign interference sometimes didn't make it to the prime minister's desk in 2021 because Canada's spy agency and the prime minister's national security adviser didn't always see eye to eye on the nature of the threat, according to a recent report from one of Canada's intelligence watchdogs.
