Energy and Fish - The Renewables for our Future


The New Brand
How about this as the new Brand for Newfoundland and Labrador

The Raw Energy of our People
The Raw Power of our Resources
The Raw Strength of our Future
The Raw Beauty of our Place

Instead we have the Minister of Business promoting three pitcherless candies (stylised pitcher plant) demonstrating what? Probably the fact that we are about to give up our pitcher - that important component of the plant that it gets nourishment from - or in other words export our hydropower. How long do you think those 3 pitiful stalks will support those "flowers"? How long do you think our province will survive without fish and renewable energy. The basket of our ocean and basket of our land is represented by our fish and hydropower and their renewable qualities. The feds have all but ruined the fish stocks and we have all but given away our hydropower both now and in the past.
Try that on for size Minister O'Brien - if you can get Danny out of the dressing room!
