Muskrat Falls Power For Labrador or Not?

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?

Grand River Murders

Mr.Dave Adey wrote:

"When the mighty Grand River finally succumbs to her murderers, she will let out one final cry. The eagle and the osprey, the fish and the seals, the bear, the caribou, the wolf, the song birds, the water fowl and all the creatures, her children, that she nurses; will all stop when they hear that cry. They will all turn and look and all will be silent. The Murder of Muskrat Falls will be complete and from there on nothing will ever be the same."

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.

The Collapse of an Empire

Danny's abandoned Empire.

A long time Conservative switches allegiance(Graham Letto)to join the Liberal Party.

Danny Williams' beloved PC Party gives the Democratic process a huge black eye by not allowing a fairly new Newfoundlander(Brad Cabana)to enter the PC Leadership race, better than getting shot in the head like in the good old U.S.A..

This guy, Brad Cabana must be a very intellegent person to cause a powerful-?- Conservative Party to buckle the way they did. I mean, if this party is so will organized, why would they be so concerned about a little CFA taking it over? Why not just give him the benefit of the doubt by letting him run and fall?

Mr. Cabana should appeal this decision of the government. The least an appeal could do is push the PC's towards an amended constitution. It surely needs amending, especially their membership section. May I suggest free membership cards, fancy one, you know, with bar codes and all.

All this leadership fuss should be good for the Liberal Party though. I'm looking forward to a far more powerful opposition after the next election or a new and revised Liberal Party. Hopefully the Liberals have learned some valuable lessons from their fall from grace. Lets hope they come out of this fall and form a great and honest government, of the people and for the people after October. Gotta have a dream! LOL

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.

The Confused Grass (LOL)

What weather in Central Labrador.

Here it is December 16, 2010 with no Snow and above zero temperatures. Did the Earth turn on it's axis so much that the Florida climate is now ours or what? Maybe the 2012 Shift as already started.

Anyway, I think the Grass is really confused. After-all it is supposed to be dying, not coming back to life like it is in Lake Melville area.

I know the outdoor folks, such as the ones who love snow machines must not be happy in these strange times. On the other hand there are many of us that are loving this break. Our Winter will not seem so long.

What do u think about the warm weather?

Cruel to be Kind(an unpublished 2007)

In the right measure, of course.

Come on little Labrador Retrievers, play dead for Poppy Danny. Mark your 'X' on October 9 for Johnny and give him your paw.

We all should keep in mind that after four years with the PC's, they gave us a couple bones with very little meat on them. What more do you want, Danny might say? What is wrong with a few bones a month before the election?

If its a majority PC Government this time around, they will give us another bone or two, thirty days prior to October 9, 2011 election. Something to look forward to, hey?

Don't you see his plan unfolding before you? He fooled the Metis last time. His plan is to fool the rest of us this time, right? All he had to do was promise us the Moon and Stars, but deliver a few bones, then, him and his side-kick preach to us all what they did with Federal Money disguised as Provincial.

Labrador people, don't you see the wool falling over your eyes? How neive can we be?

Ask yourself this: Why didn't the Williams government start the Trans-Labrador Highway reconstruction between Lab West and Hgvb three years ago? Finish that section first because it was started back in the 60's and it joines larger populated areas to the rest of Canada. Where did the $25 million per year for 7 years that the Federal Minister Loyola Hearn announced April 3, 2007 go to? He did say, there was no strings attached and it could be used for our highway in the BigLand. That announcement excited John Hickey, Graham Letto and Jim Farrell .

NL House of Assembly worries

The house of assembly worries that MHA's allowances in the past may have been used to buy votes.

Interesting, but they don't seem to give a damn about the party in power handing out tax payers money all over the place during an election year.

Oh! They are not breaking any laws you may say, but is it morally right? Do the PC's or Liberals really care about morality?

So what, if it was in the budget? Was it also in the budget to stragtegically hand it out just before an election? Plan your day and work your plan, right? Is that the PC's motto? Is that what Williams' advisers tell him to do? The advisers that are costing tax payers approximately $1 million a year to use our own money against us by influencing our opinions. Use our own taxes to buy our own votes. A cheap way for any party in power to run an election campaign, don't you think so?

If Williams wants government to come clean and stay clean he should make another rule. A very important rule that would have total public support. From now on, no NL Government will be permitted to hand out money for any project during an election year.

I predict right now that, Danny's house of cards will come down hard in the not to distant future.
That the PC's will go so far down that they will have to reach up to touch bottom.
