A Most Consequential Premier
Manage episode 354133466 series 2903830
Don Mills considers Stephen McNeil to be Nova Scotia's most consequential premier in the last half-century.
McNeil's reform of the collective bargaining process for public sector contracts, and his decision to close the pulp mill in Pictou and two aging hospitals in Cape Breton were all made knowing he would lose political support in each case.
His efforts to open new markets in China for the lobster industry and legislating the presumed consent for organ donations law were other notable achievements during his tenure. He got elected to govern. He did not govern to get re-elected. He was perhaps the most successful "conservative" premier in terms of his fiscal policies yet true to his liberal roots in terms of social justice issues. Like him or not, he lived by his principles.
