Leaders have to be honest. Look at recent elections—there's intellectual dishonesty if not outright dishonesty.

Former Saskatchewan Speaker Randy Weeks discusses his 17-year political journey from constituency president through various leadership roles to his current work promoting democratic participation. He critiques recent political leadership for dishonesty and lack of intellectual integrity, contrasts effective leaders (Brad Wall) with problematic ones (Scott Moe), and discusses critical policy issues including energy transition, provincial-federal coordination, and local government relations. His legacy fund prioritizes students from underrepresented and low-income backgrounds.
