The Yen Man is correct.
Ed was honest, but easily led, and made poor decisions he felt (or was told) were the best ones for the province. He was just wrong frequently.
Our current premier was a smart, shrewd politician. Her method of gaining power by allying with the teachers union wasn't something a stupid person does. However, her motivations are less about what is good for the province, and not even what is best for her party, but what is best for her.
When you look at who she surrounds herself with - Denis and Lukaszuk in particular - these are not particularly honest people. She will be very good at obtaining her goals, but I feel we will suffer for it.
