Sue's Blog readers know the International Fund for Animal Welfare (IFAW) is no friend of ours. Their blatant use of our seal hunt to fill their coffers should be unacceptable to us all. That's why we have choices. When a Crown Corporation does business with a company - they should check the firm out.
In this case Newfoundland and Labrador Hydro should have checked Summa Strategies Canada.
Here's what they do:
Summa Strategies Canada Inc. provides strategic consultation and government relations and the development and management of public policy.
If we need public relations - research and development of public policy - or strategic consultation - perhaps we should employ people in Newfoundland and Labrador - especially with respect to energy issues. In either case the province has chosen Summa out of Ontario.
Well Summa also lists the IFAW as a client. Great - the company who has been involved in strategic planning for an organization planning to end the seal hunt - will get a contract from Newfoundland and Labrador Hydro. Not acceptable - we have control of this. There are other companies including Newfoundland and Labrador companies that can do this work. Even if government should want to hide these discussions and are planning to woo the people with energy policy messaging - they can use somebody else in Canada.
It makes us look foolish - don't you think.
So Dean MacDonald let's see if you can do something with this fiasco.
