Horswill on political seamanship

About me

Location	Toronto, Ontario, Canada
Introduction	Les Horswill writes about politicians, their ambitions, and our governments. He has campaigned for winners and lost causes. As a speechwriter and advisor, he’s argued, for instance, for Canada’s federation, Quebec’s right to separate, and the merits of breaking up energy monopolies. As an Assistant Deputy Minister, Les served five Ontario governments on constitutional reform, energy security, climate change, training, and trade. He was CEO of an Ontario energy corporation. Les has completed a book tentatively called "The Unnecessary Border: The Case Against Canadian Nationalism and the Promise of North America." It hasn’t—yet—excited a Canadian publisher.
