The Halifax Chronicle-Herald's Jim Meek has some advice for you gamblers:

Say what you will about Danny Williams, the undisputed king of the Rock knows how to wrap up a deal.

For my money, in fact, the premier of Newfoundland and Labrador is the only political leader in Canada with the guts to do business like he means it.

Just look at the big three wins that Williams has secured since he came to power eight years ago.

3. This week, the Williams government signed off on a preliminary $6.2-billion agreement with Emera and the government of Nova Scotia.

Want to play poker with this guy? I wouldn’t advise it.

Now, you may or may not want to play at cards with Danny Williams.

On the other hand, if you like taking gullible people's money from them, then you definitely want Jim Meek at your table.
