R.J. Simpson was among hundreds forced to flee wildfires in the Northwest Territories last summer. Now he\u2019s the territory\u2019s new premier, promising communities they\u2019ll be better prepared for the next big fire or flood. He talks to Galloway about settling outstanding land claims, pushing back on the carbon tax, and what some people don't understand about Canada's North.
