Dustin Duncan has retained a personal lawyer for the first time in his nearly 18-year political career. The Saskatchewan cabinet minister in charge of Crown corporations said he’s prepared to go to prison, or what he had called “carbon jail” – the most unlikely and extreme outcome in his government’s fight against Ottawa and the current unfairness of its carbon pricing policy for home heating.
Mr. Duncan said he would still rather it didn’t come to all that. He and his boss, Premier Scott Moe, aren’t energy outlaws, as of now.
“Nobody is breaking the law yet,” Mr. Duncan said in an interview with The Globe this week.
