Beck Blasts Lewis on Fossil Fuel Stance

0:00Saskatchewan NDP leader, Carla Beck, just dropped an open letter blasting the new federal NDP boss, Abby Lewis, over his hard, no-on, new fossil fuel. Projects. Lewis, fresh off a big first ballot win with 56% of the vote at the party's Winnipeg Convention, posted a video saying he's against any. New pipelines or LNG builds. Beck called it out on March 28, saying it threatens jobs and growth in her province. This comes right after Lewis took the leadership reins on Sunday, promising a future that works for everyday folks over big money interests. But Beck argues his energy stands flips that script, ignoring how resource jobs fund the basics, like healthcare and schools. She's pointing to the hit on Saskatchewan's economy, with $13.6 billion in yearly activity at stake, from oil, gas, and related. Work. Thousands of workers depend on these industries to put food on the table, and Beck ties it back to NDP routes laid by founder Tommy Douglas.

1:00Beck's not closing doors, though. She's down to me, Lewis, but only if he walks back publicly and gets the real talk on prayer realities. Tensions like this could test NDP unity across Canada, especially as provinces push back on federal grain ships that feel out of touch with local. Needs.
