Peter Tabuns is an interesting guy to say the least. He is ballsy which is something I admire in a politician. He isn’t afraid of a principled fight, but doesn’t go out seeking them. He’s won some, lost some but always found opportunity to continue his work, even in defeat. From talking to him, it also became clear he has a strong sense of what he thinks is the right thing to do, and deals the repercussions as they come. The ‘New Energy Economy’ is a plan that calls for a major re-tooling of industry in Ontario, and regardless of one’s support for the plan it is comprehensive, bold and a gamble.

As Bisson is an outlier if background were the determinant, so too is Tabuns an outlier in regards to policy.

Jeff Hume’s work behind the camera and in all the production related matters for this video has been fantastic. We will endeavor to put these videos on youtube when time permits as well.
