Tonight on The Brian Crombie Hour, Brian interviews David Peterson. David is a former Premier of Ontario, who 40 years ago ended a 42-year Tory dynasty. He reflects on his leadership journey, the qualities that define strong leaders, and his commitment to national unity during his tenure. David analyzes how politics has evolved, noting the impact of media changes and shifting public tolerance of leaders’ behavior. He stresses the value of compromise, accommodation, and balancing social liberalism with fiscal responsibility as key principles in Canadian politics. The conversation ends with Peterson reflecting on his marriage and Brian thanking him for his leadership example, timely as the Ontario Liberal Party approaches a convention.
