Frank McKenna Biography

From 2005 to 2006, he was the Canadian Ambassador to the United States. From 1987 until 1997, he was the Premier of New Brunswick. He is now the Toronto-Dominion Bank's Deputy Chairman. McKenna's presidency was mostly seen as a success. Throughout his reign, job development was a top goal for him, and he was quoted as saying that the best social program we have is a job. He promoted small company development and used tax incentives to persuade major corporations to invest in the province. Another of his initiatives was to boost New Brunswickers' collective self-confidence, which he felt would boost productivity. He implemented a sophisticated public relations strategy that included provocative video news releases. He was chastised for expanding the number of government communications employees, but he responded by pointing out that the main government communications department, Communications New Brunswick, had been depoliticized. In previous regimes, Communications New Brunswick reported to the Premier's chief of staff, but McKenna moved it to the head of the civil service. He was also chastised for establishing a toll-free telephone line for the premier's office, 1-800-MCKENNA, which was available across North America and was utilized by both New Brunswick residents and businesses contemplating relocating to the province.
