In this Saturday's Tele there is a letter to the editor from good ole Dalton, our friendly Premier from Ontario. On the surface it looks like a nice, sweet, and polite gesture on behalf of Central Canada.
Why is Dalton so pleased and thankful to Premier Dan?
Could it be the absolute desparate need for Lower Churchill power?
Our history is clear, when Ontario needs something - anything from us, the snootiness goes away and the super handshakes begin.
As every miserable hot day passes by in Ontario the need for our friendship grows. Turn off the air-conditioners, shut off the lights, don't use that hairdryer, and even industry has to cut back. The Lower Churchill, our competitive advantage to attract industry to Labrador. We can ship them our other potentials as they are developed.
Do not export hydro-electric, the only chance we have at a bright diversified economy.
As they entice our Premier by making him the Chair of this and that and send him a public letter of thanks for the "con"federation meeting they are sweet-talking our future from us.

Not a single KW should get exported until our fisheries are protected, a restoration plan implemented, out-migration ceased, Oil revenues are 95% ours and our government revamps the Churchill deal! All this before Ontario gets anythign from the so-called-getho-province!
Agreed?
out-migration ceased
What, no one is allowed to ever leave?
Talk about "ghetto".
Oil revenues are 95% ours
Why should they go down? Right now the province collects 100% of direct oil revenues? That's pretty poor negotation, "here, take five percent!"
our government revamps the Churchill deal!
Righto! Newfoundland gets 100% of Hibernia royalties, Labrador should get 100% of the Churchill Falls revenues. Maybe that way someone would finally build a highway across the region.
Why was my comment about Bernard Lord either deleted or not posted?
