Le charismatique et fonceur Danny Williams est élu premier ministre de Terre-Neuve-et-Labrador en 2003. À son départ, en 2010, il est devenu le politicien canadien le plus populaire – et le plus controversé – de son époque.



Ponctué de moments humoristiques et d’anecdotes d’antichambre révélatrices, Danny raconte comment ce battant transforme un territoire démuni en une province florissante. Reconnu comme un adversaire redoutable, Williams mène contre les premiers ministres et les grandes pétrolières une lutte mémorable afin que les profits tirés des abondantes ressources naturelles de la province reviennent à sa population. Si son mot d’ordre « nous ne faisons plus de cadeaux » lui vaut une popularité sans précédent, la fierté que lui inspire sa province fait de lui un héros aux yeux des électeurs.

Education

Ages 14 to 18
School subjects

Ideal for essays and debates on Canadian history or politics. If they were forced to negotiate with the federal government or oil companies, how would students proceed? Is it possible for modern politicians to fight for their principles—or are compromise and even disappointment inevitable? How much power can the federal government have over the provinces? What do Canadians look for in a leader: a public advocate, a smart negotiator, an entertaining personality?
