When leadership matters: Former cabinet minister James Moore on why we should applaud Danielle Smith
Former federal cabinet minister James Moore argues that Canadians are quick to condemn politicians but should also acknowledge “when a leader rises to an occasion that is thirsting for reason, selflessness or courage,” praising Alberta Premier Danielle Smith for signing the “Canada-Alberta Memorandum of Understanding” with Prime Minister Mark Carney. He highlights the agreement’s broad reforms — from emissions-cap modernization to Indigenous equity mandates — and notes that Newfoundland and Labrador Premier Tony Wakeham has already said his province is “in the oil business and we need Ottawa at the table as a real partner.”
