There is no Pride - There is only Danny

Whether we are witnessing teen bullying or vandals, or violence - we are witnessing a breakdown in our society. There is no pride left.
The hot topics in Newfoundland and Labrador over the past six months are:
The Portnoys
Dog Behavior
Bullying and petty crime
Andy, Max, and Danny
garbage nets, and
Canadian Idol

The real topics in Newfoundland and Labrador over the same time-frame:
The Fisheries Summit (collapse of entire industry and many communities)
Marystown, Fortune, Burgeo, Ramea, Anchor Point, Harbour Breton
The Energy Plan (our future for the next 50 years)
Stephenville Paper Mill (loss of significant industry for region)
Major police, judicial, and parliamentry review of millions of dollars spent by MHA's
Gander Airport and Weather Service
Oil and Gas Sector
Marine Atlantic
Costodial Management and Joint Management of the fishery
Outmigration
Churchill Falls
Labrador Transportation
Roads


Please take the time to reflect about what the public and media chose to focus on and why.

Danny made a deliberate decision when he took office to rule by bullying.
He made swift work of NAPE and by extension all public sector unions.
He attacked a couple of journalists,
He took on and crippled the fishermen and various communities,
He chastised and fired a couple of MHA's and Ministers,
He attacked the legal system - lawyers, judges, etc.
He attacked a couple of businesses and
He blasted a couple of individuals.
There is no pride in our province - there is a silence for fear of speaking.
Danny called it tough love on a CBC national broadcast.
What it actually "i mean ya know", "to be quite honest witcha" is a man out of control with power and wealth running as he sees fit - with no room for anybody other than those who idolize him.
