As Andrew Furey’s time as Premier starts to wind down he says one of his last goals is to kickstart the diversification of the province’s markets.

Furey shocked the province earlier this week when he announced that he will be resigning as leader once a successor is chosen.

While he argues a lot has been accomplished during his time in politics, broadening the province’s markets is something he will be tackling in his remaining months.

He wants to make sure that is in a “reasonable spot” for whoever comes after him. He says regardless of US President Donald Trump, who he calls a “four-year bully in the White House,” it is responsible to diversify provincial markets.
