The Globe and Mail reports in its Friday, July 10, edition that retired U.S. Navy commander Phil Ehr has resigned from Novared Mining's advisory board due to the hiring of Kristi Noem, whose politics he opposes. The Globe's Niall McGee writes that Novared gained international attention last month for hiring Ms. Noem as an adviser after President Donald Trump fired her in March. He said, "Serving in any capacity with someone whose record includes the conduct and abuses that occurred under her watch at DHS made continued association impossible for me on principle." Mr. Ehr, a Democratic congressional candidate, said he would collaborate with Republicans but found Ms. Noem's extreme positions unacceptable. He said: "I am willing to work with almost anyone so long as they have a moral compass. Kristi Noem does not." A few weeks ago, Mr. Ehr told Novared he was willing to resign if Ms. Noem remained. He stepped down on Wednesday. Novared declined to comment. After hiring Ms. Noem, Novared doubled down on its strategy of recruiting acolytes of both Mr. Trump and Ms. Noem. Late last month, conservative strategist Katie Zacharia was appointed to the advisory board. She is a senior communications adviser for Truth Social.
