To pick a BC example far enough back to avoid thread bickering - our first premier, and the founder of the Colonist, a gent name of Bill Smith originally, was a key player in keeping us free of US control during some shakey times when loss of the colony was a distinct possibility ... started out an absolute laissez-faire free-markets no-tariffs proponent, shifted to supporting Imperial Preference with high tariffs until the threat subsided ... had all kinds of controversial practices while in office, and afterwards went broke trying to start up SkipTheDishes about a hundred and twenty years early, and in the Klondike -

en.wikipedia.org - there's some fascinating reading on this dude in UVic library, original source stuff
