In an interview with our sister station, CHSJ, Gallant said he wanted to put politics aside and work with the Tories to build the economy.
Alward then responded at the Conservatives' Annual General meeting over the weekend. Alward spend 8 minutes of his 24 minute speech dedicated to bashing Gallant and why he didn't believe the Liberal party.
Gallant tells Tide News its not going to be easy to change our political culture. Gallant says, "I know its going to take a lot of time, a lot of effort, and a lot of patience. I know its new to hear an Opposition party saying they want to collaborate, they want to offer pro-active, positive ideas, so we are just going to go ahead and keep doing that."
Gallant tells us he has the political will to keep trucking with his message of doing it differently. "Its the way that politics is supposed to be. We're not simply there to criticize everything the government does, we are there to offer solutions as well. We are there to say if we think the idea is good, but also to ask questions and keep the government accountable, and to let them know if they are saying things that can be tweaked or done better."
Gallant will be coming to Charlotte County on Sunday, November 25th, 2012.
He will be attending a "Jam Session" with the locals at the Stella Maris Hall in Blacks Harbour at 2pm, in which Gallant says -- quote -- "Where I will be singing terribly."
At 3pm, Gallant will head to the Magaguadavic Place in St. George for a "Meet & Greet".
