The Premier's "glass is half-full" translates into a vision "half-baked"

Premier Dunderdale appears to have a whole new concept on "good news". She's taken "the glass is half-full" to a whole new dimension.

Quebec and Ottawa sign deal on Old Harry and the Premier says "this is good news" - now we can fight for it.

Peter Kiewit pulls out of a 30 year 35 billion dollar deal and the Premier says "this is good news" - Kiewit is too busy to bother with it.

It is going to cost the people of Newfoundland and Labrador a fortune to develop and export Lower Churchill Power and the Premier says "this is good news" - we can now avoid Quebec.

Oh and almost forgot, The Abitibi Mill in Grand Falls-Windsor gone the Premier says "this is good news" we can expropriate the assets and the whole town if we want. 

Let's speculate on other good news announcements:

Another fishery has shut down - This is "good news" we don't have wharf upkeep.

Nova Scotia not Newfoundland and Labrador gets an aluminum smelter - This is "good news" don't have to worry about the environment.

Newfoundlanders and Labradorians leave their province to work elsewhere - This is "good news" it will take strain off health care.

Loss of the Stephenville Airport - This is "good news" - we can now concentrate on Deer Lake.

Loss of Kruger paper mill - This is "good news" - the trees can grow back. 

Can you offer some suggestions for the Premier on "good news" announcements to come?

Taxpayers will be footing BILLIONS of dollars for Muskrat Falls and energy consumers' bills will skyrocket. Good news. "The best is yet to come!"
