Premier's message to Newfoundland and Labrador

different than the message in Alberta.

The News Release from the Premier today fails to mention significant messages he delivered in Alberta.

It does not mention this quote from Danny: "I personally see Alberta as the land of opportunity, ... I really honestly think that Canada should be looking and realizing that Alberta is going to be the province that's going to lead us into the future and we should wrap our arms around this opportunity."

There is a reason to visit Alberta on a trade junket province to province - after all they trade in our people resource at local hotels regularly - but if that was the reason for the tour - the mainland media did not focus on it.

Of course we would have to ask if there is a reason our big companies like the Penney Group needs the Premier to "open doors".

The second message delivered to Newfoundlanders and Labradorians up along was not to come home yet - the economy is not rebuilt. I see - did you bring a couple of union reps with you on the "u-haul constituency tour"?

Emigration and Immigration and for Newfoundlanders and Labradorians integration anywhere else but home. I don't see that in the Premier's Release to our media. So will they ask the tough questions? Will the media ask the Premier where he is going to be in 10 years when people can start coming home?

Now he's back on the fishery - another one of his afterthoughts when freeing his mind of oil and gas. There's going to be another meeting! Oh I can't wait - he hinted this morning that small boat fishers are targets for reductions - then threw in the word harvesters. To that he suggests that the Government of Canada and the Government of Newfoundland and Labrador will have to contribute to some sort of buy-out buoy-off of these people. Excuse me Williams but the collapse of the fishery is due to the mismanagement of the stocks by the feds. Where is all the "who will fight for you" branding you pushed for your law firm?

In this day of technology - one which your government is going to invest 15 million in - do you think those fibres can reach the computers of Newfoundland and Labrador to tell us in reality - what you are doing while away?

I ask all reasonably minded people if they think Jean Charest would promote Alberta as something Quebec wants to be when it grows up - or would promote Alberta as opposed to Quebec as the place that will lead Canada's growth?
