Congrats Nick Careen

Nick Careen has been named to the Board of Marine Atlantic for a term of three years.

And as much as this may be a political appointment by the boys from the shore - it's a good one and I think Nick's genuine passion and love of Newfoundland and Labrador as well as his commitment to that essential ferry link will do us proud.
You deserve it Nick and best of luck.

Now you are seeing the real divide between the real Tories like Sullivan and Hearn and the "Johnny come Lately" conservatism of Williams and crew.

Here's the announcement in part:
