We are over-run with Seals

My stomach turned this morning as I listened to Randy Simms counseling the population of Harbour Breton to leave. "Maybe it's time to give up."
I wonder Mr. Simms if the seals have landed ashore and started to remove the guts of our people instead of the cod. This is no joke and your flippancy is disgusting. But then again you’re ok Jack.
You are voluntarily relinquishing your culture, economy, and heritage instead of fighting what is wrong and making it right. What makes you so weak in spirit and in character? What makes you haul down your neighbors while celebrating a growing economy in Mount Pearl?
If you really are wondering what the problem is in Newfoundland and Labrador look no further than the mirror. What is it you said this morning? Ryan and others were going after the Premier's salary; the others were Sue Kelland-Dyer which you and your ilk have been told to avoid uttering. This is not an open-line; it is a festival for the government's PR policy.
The deal is this Mr. Simms before you feed your own to the wolves - The federal government is responsible for the mismanagement of the fishery and therefore must pay for it. You’re coddling of the Doug House rural plan is either ignorance or deliberate. If it is deliberate, what's in it for you? If it's ignorance become educated.
It absolutely amazes me that a population already famous for voluntarily giving up its own sovereignty is now prepared to eradicate itself.

If we don't kill off some seals - hard to know whose belly will be taken next.
