According to Miss Yvonne Jones' presentation to the PUB, Jerome Kennedy stated, he sees new industrial demands in Labrador requiring 800-900MW of additional power. Yvonne stated herself that, "The major customers for electricity in Labrador are new and expanding mining projects. IOC, for example, is proposing to double their output
through their Genesis expansion. This is estimated to require a minimum additional 200MW of energy."
Show us the common sense to all this! It's gonna cost billions to send Muskrat Falls Power out of Labrador while Labrador needs it locally, right now or in the very near future. The way mining is going in Labrador we know for a fact that the BigLand will need aprox. 1000mw long before 2041. Do it right, develop Muskrat Falls power mainly for Labrador & send the excess to Newfoundland for their use; not ship it of to Nova Scotia and beyond.
Nalcor CEO Ed Martin on Vocm Feb.29,2012: " if all goes right, with continued oil and gas development, Muskrat Falls, the Labrador-Island link, Gull Island and the Upper Churchill contract expiring, our children and grandchildren could be living in the one of the richest jurisdictions in Canada, possibly even the world."
Does Kennedy think we are stun in the BigLand or what? At least many of us in Labrador knows full will that he is actually refering to the island when he says, "our children & grandchildren could be living in one of the richest jurisdictions in Canada, possibly even the world"
We know it ain't going to be the children or grandchildren of Labrador in the future who will benefit from this proposed Muskrat Falls deal. How can they, really, when all this hydro power is slated to go to the island, Nova Scotia & beyond?

A Small, Precious Earth!
"If the Earth were only a few feet in diameter, floating a few feet above a field somewhere, people would come from everywhere to marvel at it. People would walk around it, marveling at its big pools of water, its little pools & the water flowing between the pools. People would marvel at the bumps on it, & the holes in it, & they would marvel at the very thin layer of gas surrounding it & the water suspended in the gas. The people would marvel at all the creatures walking around the surface of the ball & at the creatures in the water. The people would declare it precious because it was the only one & they would protect it so that it would not be hurt. The ball would be the greatest wonder known & people would come to behold it, to be healed, to gain knowledge, to know beauty & to wonder how it could be. People would love it, & defend it with their lives, because they would somehow know that their lives, their own roundness, could be nothing without it. If the Earth were only a few feet in diameter."

Desperate Need Found
Nfld's desperate need for Lower Churchill Power found.
1. Use the revenue from Oil to develop & distribute 'clean electricity' to the island of Newfoundland.
2. Manufacturing Jobs on the island of Newfoundland for when their Oil is all gone.
3. Why the island of Newfoundland Manufacturing first, using Labrador Hydro Electricity?
4. Why not Manufacturing in Labrador first since we are the risk takers (Happy Valley Goose Bay/Mud Lake)and the adjacent ones on this Mighty Grand River?
I'll answer the questions with another question; What else could save the Rock & least keep the mother's sons that are already there & not yet born on the island?
Note: The most respectable thing they could have done would be to set up some manufacturing in Labrador 'first' before taking Labrador's future away. Newfoundland Government could have started with: (a)enticing industries to come here & use the 300mw already reserved for us from the Upper Churchill. (b)They could have had manufacturing ready to run, with their operations ready for when Lower Churchill power came on stream in 2016.

Save the Rock expand your Warehouse.
The time is long overdue to STOP THE GIVE AWAYS in this province, guess Labrador is gonna have to help NL, the Rock can't seem to help themselves. Not enough Electricity, Fish gone, Minerals gone, Forestry gone, turned into finished products using Nuclear Power somewhere else and sold back to us.
Stun as me Arse!
-------------------
Sure! U don't even have to construct a billion dollar Hydro Power line to, God knows where, just build the plant here, create industries here, ship finished products anywhere from here via train or ship. Bring home every mother's son, have them work here, collect their taxes, save the rock.. SO LOGICAL BUT TO SIMPLE, RIGHT?
Made right here, IN YOUR OWN WAREHOUSE AND IT'S A BIG ONE, SPACE GALORE IN LABRADOR.
SO LOGICAL, SO SIMPLE?
WHAT'S THE PROBLEM? Smarten up! No more stupid Newfie remarks boy. Where beast de go now, beast de go down hrbour in Tom Baths Skeef? Beast gonna land ye on the green.

No! Mfg isn't the Key
The TV says Mfg is the Key(manufacturing).
Wrong! Wrong! Wrong! The Key is WE, 'LABRADOR HYDRO POWER, manufacturing is the Tool.
The Key to saving the Rock, and it's in the BigLand. Newfoundland desperately wants it, by hook or by crook. The NL government has the Million Dollar Advisors,the Psychologist, the Magicians to try and screw Labrador into the ground without them even knowing what hit them.
Trying to obtain Lower Churchill Power by the Newfoundland Government and it's side kick, Nalcor Energy is the biggest con-job I have ever heard off, even bigger then the BIG Upper Churchill Grab in the 60's, if that is possible.
It's time that Labrador stops becoming somebody else's Treasure Trove. Someone better wake Labrador people now and i'm not talking about a dozen or so up by John Hickey's Office in Happy Valley Goose Bay, i'm talking about 1000,s. They had better have a, Religious Experience at this moment. Something better hit them like a ton of brick, not tomorrow. Tomorrow, the horse will be longgg gone and twenty something thousand people will be closing the giant barn door. It will be a complete waste of time. Can't you see? The barn is empty, nothing else left in there for anyone to steel, at least no Lower Churchill Power. Why close the door now? She's gone boy, she's gone, lock stock and barrel. A deal sealed in stone like another one we know off. Nobody can help you now, not even God himself. You blew it! You were all to comfortable in your easy chair. Guess you wasn't hungry enough. Not only did you blow it for yourselves, you blew it for your children, your grandchildren and their children's children. Screwed, big time!
The Key, the Engine, the works, gone. The Power that would have driven any kind of industry in the BigLand, on the mainland of North American, not an island in the sea. We could have taken finished products anywhere from here, by planes,trains, and automobiles, even by boats. What! Boats! There is no ice-free ports in Labrador, is there? Our children's children will be extremely lucky to buy an automobile, let alone drive one to visit our friends in another part of Canada or elsewhere.
So, you might say, what can we actually do. Will! You can get the hell up to those, so called Environmental Assessment Hearing, hit them like a swarm of bees protecting their honey.
DO IT NOW!

Subliminal Ads/Hydro/School Children
WARNING: Do you know what a Subliminal message is? Have you ever seen or heard one?
I believe that this the very first time i`ve encountered one of these message since leaving Wabush, Labrador in 1984. For some unknown reason I tend to pick up on them.
People can usually see them when they are pointed out, but not before.
Look at these pictures and maybe you can understand where i`m coming from.
These are photos used by our children across the province, in schools today, Feb.25,2011. You may even see this on todays TV News.
Your thoughts on this would be much appreciated.
Be very alert children because bulling is all around us every day. Watch your back.

Churchill River Causeway/Bridge
Yes indeed.
Sunny but extremely cold for three weeks & very little snow in Central LABRADOR.
When this kind of situation developes the frost creaps down deep into ground further & further. This happens because there is no natural blanket of snow to stop it.
I put a question forward at the Labrador Friendship Center a few years ago about the Churchill River Causeway/Bridge. I asked the folks holding a meeting there concerning this issue; "will this causeway/bridge stand the test of time?" I asked this question because this construction was done on sand, which, to our knowledge was never done before. The answer was, yes it will.
This test maybe imminent when the Spring arrives. I say this because Churchill River is very wide & when the run-off's from the snow in the forrest occurs this year, they will have nowhere to go but into the river because the melting snow will not be able to penetrate the frozen ground.
The ice coming down the river & the large amount of water flowing into it may cause drastic damage to the causeway/bridge. All that ice and water will try to get through the narrow opening under the bridge at the same time.
We had a pile-up of ice on this causeway a couple years ago which bent the railing in over the causeway leaving large chunks of ice blocking one lane.
A few of us, including our friend Mr.Gerald Dyson suggested that the bridge go over the solid rocks of Muskrat Falls, just a short distance across. Like Gerald used to say, you could throw a rock across the river there because the distance was so short, but that was not to be. Our provincial government's engineers along with our MHA saw it in their wisdom that the sandy route was the way to go. We shall see.
Rest in peace Gerald. All of Labrador will miss you deeply. Yourself & your wife were true and devoted Labradorians.

Lower Churchill, the risk
The risk you may as! What risk?
Will, lets call it a potential disaster in the works. A disaster of major proportions. The destruction of communities and it's people. A population of some 8000+ residents. Of course i'm refering to the communities of Churchill Falls, Happy Valley Goose Bay and Mud Lake. The destruction by massive flooding because of broken Dams caused by earthquakes or even terrorism. i.e. If the Upper Churchill Dams were destroyed, it would take aproximately 12 minutes to flood Happy Valley Goose Bay.
Terrorism! Where did that come from? Will the potential is there, especially after 911 and the U.S. enemies around the world. Apparently the Upper Churchill was at risk and 5th on a terrorist list found in a Duffle Bag at the town of Churchill Falls. See, by hitting the hydro power supplies in Labrador the enemy would be hitting the United States indirectly.
Flooding isn't that far fetched. Look around the world, Australia , Newfoundland etc.. Flooding caused by nature or humans is still flooding and can put many lives at stake.
Who is taking the chances here? Not so much the Newfoundland residents, nor Ottawa residents, nor the Innu of Sheshatshiu or Natuashish or coastal community residents. Maybe some risk by the residents of North West River and the Innu of Sheshatshiu, but why would the Innu care, especially the leaders when the financial benefits are so great for them? We know that like most people the Innu of Sheshatshiu cares about the almighty dollar and the good it entails. What about the health issues because of the almighty dollar and we know that these aboriginal people are not use to wealth in large amounts?
Where are the rewards for taking these risks? The rewards for the Inuit, the NunatuKavut(Metis) and the Labrador Settlers? We can immagine the rewards for the island of Newfoundland and others, but what about us, the real stakeholders? Are we willing to take the risks involved in another flooding of land for another hydro development? Enormous amounts of water backed up for miles behind Dams, a potential force that could be unleashed on us anytime.
This story is not meant to alarm people but to inform them. Just understand and be aware of these unnatural forces, forces that are created by men and women for money, forces that could eventually destroy us, forces that can be avoided.

Gold, in the BigLand
Save your Gold Jewelry until the Summer of next year. It is aprox. $1300/oz now and is expected to rise over $2000/oz within two years.
Apparently there is Gold $1,300/oz, Palladium $820/oz, Nickel $11.90/oz & Copper $4.35/oz in the Ore at Voisey's Bay. Vale Inco is making a lot of dough, don't you think so?
There isn't just Gold, Gold, in the BigLand. The BigLand is extremely wealthy with many Resources. i.e. Hydro Power, Logs, Iron Ore, Quartz, Titanium, Uranium etc.
Maybe you could add to this list.

Nfld Gov Propaganda Wagon
Dumber then Hell!
The NL PC Propaganda(brainwashing) Wagon is still rolling along. See the latest VOCM NEWS.
Kathy Dunderdale appears to be carrying on Danny Williams tradition of hitting the media regularly (every week or so). Trying to get them to think that this proposed Lower Churchill is really going forward.
Oh what a dream!
Maybe she is really hoping to drive up the shares of Nelcor and Emera. I think that stock investors are much to wise for that. Any intelligent investor would do research on the Lower Churchill and discover the same as many Labrador people have. This proposed project will never go anywhere without the approval of the majority of Labrador's citizens, period.
What good is federal loan guarantees gonna do anyway. Loans will still have to be repaid. Multi Billion Dollar Loans will drive up Hydro Rates big time in this province or drive our taxes through the roof. One way or another NL citizens will pay through the nose.

Where in the World is Sue Kelland Dyer?
Wish she was living in Labrador and an advocate for what's right and what's wrong in the BigLand Warehouse(that's the way NL Gov looks at Lab).
I'm sure she could build a great case for us concerning Lower Churchill, Nelcor and Emera.
Come on Sue, your brother lived here amongst us (rest his soul), why can't you?
You know Jim left unfinished business here.
Then again maybe you could team up with his local sons and be even a stronger force for any government to deal with.
The local aboriginals and the displaced Newfoundland residents living here for many years who made Labrador their home, could use you`re expertise. Actually, you could be helping the whole province by assisting Labrador.
The least you can do for your many followers is to inform us exactly why you gave up the fight on all big issues concerning the general public of the province.
Maybe you would consider running in politics for Labrador. Whatever it takes.
