Greed does not mind Dictatorships - unless they are bluffing!

Oil is oil and gas is gas - greed does not care under what type of regime the jurisdiction is.
They will bow and scrape - kiss your butt - or kick your a**. Whatever it takes to extract the riches - the corporations will capitulate - unless you are bluffing.
Danny does not know what to be - a dictator in a dwindling kingdom - a business tycoon in a land where he is one of the richest - a pipsqueak wannabe Gates - a friend of Jean Charest's - a federalist in constant combat with a rebellious Quebec - a nationalist who sees Quebec as the competitor - or a bumbling politician with extraordinarily weak - front and back benches.
So I guess he picks from Klein(omics) in Alberta or Morales(omics) in Bolivia or simply floats in never-never land - which if he keeps failing rural Newfoundland and Labrador - may be our next branding. Where is that Peter Pan Statue?
