Bill Rowe
John Efford . . . roared down from Ottawa to St. Johnâ€™s and issued his famous ultimatum to Danny Williams on Paul Martinâ€™s latest offer on the Accord: â€œTake it or leave it.â€ Dannyâ€™s comeback? â€œLet me answer Mr. Efford loud and clear. We will leave it, thank you very much.â€ And the war with Ottawa rocketed upwards.,In 2004, Danny Williams, premier of Newfoundland and Labrador, hired veteran politico and popular radio talk-show host Bill Rowe to represent his provinceâ€™s interests in Ottawa.

Combining high drama and hard-hitting analysis of the ruthless game of federal politics with hilarious commentary on the very human side of those involved, ,Danny Williams: The War With Ottawa, is the story of a defining time for Williams and his political career . . . and the story of a premier every Canadian came to love or hate.,Bill Rowe is a broadcaster, lawyer and former politician in Newfoundland and Labrador.
