I guess we all remember Mark Critch chastising Mark Kelley - of CBC Connect the Vote - because the program left Newfoundland and Labrador off their cross-country tour during the election.
Kelly - within a couple of days - crew in tow showed up in St. John's - they say because of the outcry from Newfoundlanders and Labradorians. As we know the story goes - Quebec was next on the agenda for the tour.
So yesterday Mark stopped in Quebec and did what he had never done before - interview his brother - who happens to be a Quebec provincial Cabinet Minister.
I have another really pressing issue for Mark and CBC - look at the video of the interview below - and tell me why Mark Kelley did not ask Minister Kelley about the huge map set as the backdrop as the two brothers meet and embrace. What's with the boundary Mark? (about 1 minute in)
The question of the interview? "What's it like to be federalist in Quebec". I don't know Mark but I can tell you what it's like to be a Newfoundlander and Labradorian in Canada.
Hard not to be cynical isn't it?

When ever a Bloc MP talks about our province they NEVER call it Newfoundland and Labrador, they always just say Newfoundland. A minor detail to be sure but I think it is a glismp of their view on where the border should be. I agree that this border needs to be given more attention, especially from our provincial government since we have the most to lose if we don't challenge Quebec's border placement.
This latest move by Harper to give Old Harry to Quebec is a direct threat to the border dispute and forces NL to provide a even higher burden of proof to get back terrority that Harper just usurped from us. Harper put Quebec in a position of advantage. The Dunderdale and her troops amazingly call this a good thing. The Dunderdale only sees the world through her Muskrat goggles and is out of her league with a couple "major files" overwhelming her and a misguided caucas.
Her inaction and failing to come out with a strong objection over the annexation of Old Harry by Harper and Quebec is a failure to protect the interests of our province.
