WE ARE TOAST (Follow-up) URGENT

On August 1-06 Sue's Blog posted the letter below - which was emailed to the Premier on the same date.
The Telegram has now followed up - all media and politicans let almost 2 months go by before anything was asked about it.
The Winnipeg Free Press has also jumped into the mix with this story today, "N.L. government criticized for handling of Quebec push on hydro projects"

As the letter provides links to the actual HQ information I encourage you to read it.
While it is irresponsible not to provide where the story originally came from (ususal), it is important that Newfoundland and Labrador become engaged. By the way I had also given the same information to VOCM months ago - but they chose not to follow-up. If you want to know what our problem - in this province is - look no forward than this. We will be taken again - with the full knowledge of our politicians on all sides of the House.

If we do not take action now to stop this pillage - we are on the way to giving Quebec everything else we own.


I have sent the following to Premier Williams

Dear Danny,
Hydro Quebec has listed on its site projects under study for generation and transmission.
Currently the Romaine River is under study with delineation excluding Labrador which the current map shows and states
that the 1927 border is not final.
They plan to have this 1500 MW construction completed within 8-10 years and they are proceeding without you.
For whatever anyone may find silly about this contention, Quebec is moving ahead. How are you chairing an Energy Committee with Quebec when this blatant disregard of our border is taking place?
It is public information for the world to see and investors to take note. What's up with this?
Sincerely,
Sue


For your information and to confirm that Quebec is actually doing this press HERE


When you get there first look at the map and the border they are using. Then press power generation - "under study" heading and you will see a symbol showing the Romaine Project. Press the symbol and....A Picture of the Romaine Complex will come up...then press General Information, another map will appear with further border errors and note how it says 1927 border "NOT FINAL".

There is nothing more I can say other than the media, government, opposition et al are negligent in their respective responsibilities.
