Frank McKenna was a rural New Brunswick lawyer who rose to become one of Canada’s most successful politicians in the 1980s and 90s.As NB Premier, he turned around that province’s economy through modernization and created thousands of jobs. He has been touted as a possible Liberal leader and future prime minister for decades, but instead emerged as one of Canada’s top business leaders.McKenna is very passionate and direct about how Canada should invest in energy and infrastructure, and has a lot of advice for current Prime Minister Mark Carney in dealing with the “betrayal” of the US administration and separatist threats.In this interview with Christy Clark, McKenna speaks openly about:Growing up poor in rural NBWinning every seat in 1987 to become PremierBecoming the “Job Hustler” turning around NB economyMark Carney needing to show results nowWhy Carney should rely more on his ministersEurope struggling and UK circling the drainUS “betrayal” of Canada as a friend and trading partnerHow Alberta separatism referendum could be as corrosive as BrexitHow referendums are like cockroaches (there’s never just one)How Ottawa needs to play more hardball to get things builtGiving back with scholarships to St. Francis Xavier University (St. FX)The Christy Clark Showthechristyclarkshow.comInstagraminstagram.com/christyclarkbcLinkedinhttps://www.linkedin.com/company/the-christy-clark-show/Inquiries [email protected]

Jason Kenney has been a political animal since he was a teenager growing up in Saskatchewan. He was first elected to the House of Commons while still in his 20s, and over the next 18 years rose to become a trusted cabinet minister under Prime Minister Stephen Harper. He returned to Alberta to unify a splintered conservative movement under one banner and become Premier in 2019, only to be dramatically deposed from within in a right-wing revolt over his handling of the pandemic.Today, Kenney has settled into life out of elected politics but still very much engaged in public debate over Alberta separatism, energy development and keeping the Conservative brand fresh and loud.In this interview with Christy, Jason recaps a 30-plus-year career in the public eye and reveals some surprising details about his political journey and its high and low points, such as:He became politically active in his teens as a young LiberalHis conservative awakening at a U.S. collegeBC Premier David Eby makes Justin Trudeau seem humbleThe economic dangers of even just flirting with separatismThe radical right takeover of Alberta’s United Conservative PartyAlbertans need to take ‘yes’ for an answerFinding his family roots in Ireland after he was ousted as PremierPierre Poilievre deserves another shot as CPC leaderThe Christy Clark Showthechristyclarkshow.comInstagraminstagram.com/christyclarkbcLinkedinhttps://www.linkedin.com/company/the-christy-clark-show/Inquiries [email protected]
