Former Tory Prime Minister Kim Campbell has slammed Wexit – calling into question the Western independence group’s maturity..“That is a slogan designed to make people mad,” she said in an interview with Global News Monday..“It’s designed to create unnecessary division, anger, resentment – that is not how grown-up people address the problems.”.Campbell told Global politicians have to have respectful “adult conversation” about difficult issues like western alienation, climate change and Equalization..“In a sense, Canada is a solution looking for a problem. We’re a hugely successful country, but we’re a complex country. We’re a huge country. And we’re always going to have issues we have to resolve,” she said..Campbell also had harsh words for Tory leader Andrew Scheer and his actions during the recent federal election..She said Scheer’s climate plan was a factor in their loss along with his vision as a leader..“What’s concerning about Andrew Scheer is that this lack of clarity, this unwillingness to sort of come out and say (his position), even if that isn’t the position that your party will necessarily take,” she said..“You know, we are dealing with difficult issues. This is not a time to be calculating and triangulating and trying to avoid any kind of tough positions. We need strength. We need to tackle the issues.”.Campbell was first elected to Parliament from Vancouver in 1988, serving as justice and defence minister under Prime Minister Brian Mulroney..She became PM in 1993 after winning the Tory leadership contest sparked by Mulroney stepping down..She was PM from June 25, 1993, to Nov. 4, 1993 and is the only woman to hold the position.
