I thought he was...
No word out of his office that he's away - curious because:
February 11, 2007 -- Quebec City, Quebec – Vermont Governor Jim Douglas today joined Quebec Premier Jean Charest in calling for the region to adopt a host of energy measures to combat the growing costs – both economic and environmental – of global warming.
In opening remarks at the Conference of New England Governors and Eastern Canadian Premiers forum on energy and the environment, Gov. Douglas said he was proud of the work Vermont and other jurisdictions had already done. Douglas emphasized, however, that a greater reliance on conservation, efficiency and renewable sources of energy is a key component of the entire region’s economic and environmental future.
Noting that five eastern provinces of Canada and the six New England states have worked together on many issues over nearly three decades, Gov. Douglas said doing so now is increasingly important.

Be careful Sue!
From now on we may all need a Lawyer or two standing behind us everytime we speak or write something.
The Premier has been found!
I heard Danny on CBC radio 12:40pm today and he was spitting fire. He was talking about what people, like yourself, were saying about John Hickey and the King. He mentioned, damaging Hickey's good reputation. Maybe the premier should check with the people of Lake Melville before he speaks about our members good reputation.
Maybe the Premier don't mind missing this most important gathering on Energy by the New England Governors and Eastern Premiers. Maybe he knows full well that the proposed Lower Churchill Power Project is doomed from the start.
The people of Labrador don't want the Lower Churchill developed and will do whatever it takes to stop it. Nothing in it for Labrador anyway, except a few construction jobs and a small block of power like the small Upper Churchill block, power that we will not be able to access when we need it.
The main drawback to developing the Lower Churchill would be the astromonical damage to the local environment, in spite what any studies may show. For the peoples of Labrador to accept such a deal there would have to be hugh rewards in it for the citizens of this BigLand. Rewards including low cost power for all it's residences etc..
We know how environmental studies can be rigged and I suspect leaders of special interest groups are payed off. Anything to accomplish their goals, no matter what the cost to the ordinary person.
I suggest that the voters of Labrador will require many, well advertised public meeting before any such hydro project project comes to fruition. Furthermore, the president of Hydro must at least recognize that "Labrador" is part of the name of this province and this province is no longer an island province from Port Aux Basques to St.John's.
