The upward trend in the global export of goods, services and finance is predicated on international regimes of cooperation...multilateral trade agreements being one. 
Last year Saskatchewan sold last year over $3.6 billion of agricultural products to China, a signatory to the Paris Agreement to limit CO2 emissions from burning hydrocarbons.
Proportionate to their population and manufacturing output, China is farther advanced in the energy transition than North America. I would surmise their commitment to it is largely based on a desire to dominate new and growing markets for "clean tech".
The current Saskatchewan government hews to an increasingly far right political ideology that is openly hostile to China and denies the reality of climate change. Anti-globalism is a recurring theme in their polemics on social media.
This line questions the validity of international agreements signed by Canada relating to the mitigation of global warming. How long will it be before a conflict between an elephant and a mouse has its inevitable outcome. #skpoli
