Saskatchewan MP’s receive thousands of messages following Emergencies Act
While news swirls in the nation’s capital, Saskatchewan Members of Parliament are likely to continue to voice opposition to the federal government over its implementation of the Emergencies Act.
Gary Vidal, MP for Desnethé—Missinippi—Churchill River in the Meadow Lake region, said it’s been an overwhelming week between the extended sitting of the House of Commons where he delivered a speech to address concerns over the act. He said he’s received thousands of emails alone, on top of letters, texts and phone calls, from people feeling a combination of “anxiety, fear and anger.”
“I’ve interacted with a lot of people who are terrified of this overreach,” Vidal said.
