Saskatchewan's Blakeney faces constitutional clash in 1981
Premier Allan Blakeney led Saskatchewan through a year dominated by constitutional talks and a federal package. He opposed unilateral action, joined premiers at the Supreme Court, and found support for a patriation plan while agriculture and inflation measures affected the province's economy.
