Premier Wynne

Premier Wynne: Every premiers meeting runs the risk of issue overload. Premier after premier wants his or her favorite political concern to be at the top of the Christmas tree, and they with it. And, like a tree with too many ornaments, it is prone to fall over. As host, and chair, Premier Wynne needs to avoid that ignominy and the usual Council statement calling for more federal money for everything and no federal interference on anything, according to The Star. All are worthy. But our premiers should be listening to what Canadians are talking about these days: the weather and There is an unwritten understanding when premiers gather that the host premiers top priority always gets favourable attention from colleagues. This week, when the thirteen premiers meet for the annual summer Council of the Federation session at Niagara-on-the-Lake, Ontario Premier Kathleen Wynne has a chance to make a mark on her priority. What will it be? Her work is cut out for her. Niagara-on-the-Lake is shaping up to be such a gathering. A lot is being put on the table, from abolishing the Senate to energy strategy to Employment Insurance to skills training. (www.immigrantscanada.com). As reported in the news.
