They choose the weak to discourage the strong

Newfoundlanders and Labradorians are fed up - we want a better return for our resources - we want to live the natural wealth we have. This - we know has not happened and we are just about to say "no" - and find the right way to develop a prosperous future for our children.

Labrador has twice the problem as dictation has not only come from Ottawa but from the Island as well.

Any second thoughts you have about it "not being Ottawa's fault" put them out of your head. There is no argument that shows the federation will truly benefit a population significantly smaller than that of Ontario - Quebec - Alberta - and BC. You will hear people say it's our own fault and don't blame Ottawa - but that simply is garbage and only true to the extent we have allowed Ottawa in and allowed them to stay.

Ottawa and the federal political parties have an agenda - that agenda will support central control and support central wealth. This will always be the same. It is important for Ottawa and through it Ontario and Quebec - to keep Newfoundland and Labrador miserably satisfied so that the resources we possess in our territory will continue to be available to them. Problem is - there have always been nationalist feelings in our province - and fundamentally we know we are bring screwed.

With that in mind Ottawa has always sought the weak among us. It has always been more effective to fight the movement of a people by using some within it. African Americans suffered under African Americans who were chosen for their weaknesses and strengths. They needed to be somewhat intelligent - be able to speak - read and orate - and they needed to be insecure. All it took from southern whites was to praise - peripherally - a couple of blacks - and make them feel superior to their own people. The blacks chosen were willing to keep their own people under control to receive even the slightest bit of approval from the ruling whites.

Make no mistake we have them in Newfoundland and Labrador - they will argue the inarguable - place doubt where none should exist - because somebody in Canada is paying attention to them. They will be reminded that they are the intelligent ones of their people - and nowadays they are also financially rewarded in some way or another. They will argue the fishery was destroyed by Newfoundlanders and Labradorians even though the management was clearly and constitutionally the responsibility of Ottawa. You will notice our fishers are not out catching on mass stocks under moratorium. This coupled with the obvious failure of Ottawa to deal with a power corridor through Quebec - the gouging of our offshore oil and gas - the lack of federal government presence in what is "obviously" the east coast of the country.

These Newfoundlanders and Labradorians chosen to keep their own people down are attempting to do just that. They feel empowered by the attention "upper Canadians" are giving them and even start to believe their intellect is greater than that of their own people.

The point is the harder we fight to take what is ours - the more these people will vocalize - wherever and whenever the opportunity arises. To these Newfoundlanders and Labradorians the victory is in the defeat of their own people. It is in that they find the reward of superiority.

In Labrador - they also have the annoyance of St. John's based politics finding puppets among them - a few weak souls who will hold Labrador back for a seat in Cabinet or a handshake from their colleagues. It is "obvious" to all who look at the situation logically that Labrador is able to attract industry in the same way Iceland can or Norway can or Russia can or Northern Ontario and Alberta can or Quebec can or BC can. The problem is not the location or the population - the problem is the lack of vision the lack of commitment - the lack of infrastructure development. You see if Labrador was anywhere else - the jurisdiction would celebrate the richness of resources and the "obvious" potential and do what was necessary to attract industry. Instead all you hear are our own people - prompted by Ottawa and St. John's to dissuade the "silly" idea of Labrador development.

So these people are on the air - they write the papers - they lecture - and yes they blog - and they spend much time - an "obvious" too much time - chasing people around who are fighting for their province.

You see those who wish to hold us back - to rob our natural resources - to leave us impoverished - are our own - carefully chosen by the powers that are Ottawa and St. John's. It has been that way forever in history - it is better to have the enemy within - to achieve the despicable goals of those who are faceless trying to rob us of our future.

We must stand above this and question the motives of people who argue ridiculous points - like we get our fair share from Ottawa. That is utter nonsense - and it is "obvious".

These people are out there now saying "too many fishers - too few fish" - I see how did that happen people? What of the destruction of our natural and renewable global resource. Who's paying for that? We are - our communities - our families - our children. Yet these Ottawa puppets - chosen carefully by central Canada to preach the propaganda - carry on with these ridiculous statements - designed to lower our expectations for equitable compensation.

Sue's Blog will no longer publish the comments of these puppets of Ottawa - they can use their own space wherever else they can find it. I am not going to waste time or be distracted from the goal of self-sufficiency by puppets whose only satisfaction is to gain approval of Ottawa or a multinational corporation.

Stay focused people - our future is just around the corner - keep going.
