Hard to imagine anyone in New Brunswick looking to the NDP government in Nova Scotia to be a role model. But new Premier Darrell Dexter seems to be getting a few things right.
Recently when they rolled out the typical report by an accounting firm stating that "the situation is worse than the last government would admit" (these reports are standard every time the government changes hands) Dexter also established a team of advisers on the economy.
And what a team - NBer Donald Savoie, APEC chair Elizabeth Beale, a former BMO Vice-President and a university economist.
Meanwhile back in New Brunswick - nothing.
No wait, that's not true. In March of this year Premier Graham held the first meeting of the Self-Sufficiency round table - a bi-partisan group of 36 New Brunswickers with the goal of making the province stronger and more prosperous.
The problem - it hasn't met since.
Guess we are going to solve our economic problems using photo-ops and not advice.
