New Brunswick Premier Shawn Graham, soon-to-be rotating head of the — chuckle — Council of the Federation, puts on his rose-coloured glasses and says:

"The Council of the Federation is maturing. With the leadership that I'm hoping to provide over the upcoming year, I want to put at the forefront issues that unite us rather than divide us."

Those issues?

Energy, climate change and internal trade.

That Shawn Graham, such a funny guy.
