Len and Ross up the Patronage Tree Pis_in_ on You and Me


Let’s get the rules straight shall we?

All Deputy Ministers and Crown Agencies Chairs and Crown Corporations CEO’s may resign during elections and work on whatever political party’s campaign they wish – and they shall be reappointed after the election – regardless of who wins. 

Further let’s remind everybody that anybody who works for government is not a senior executive but from time to time may talk to one – must not stuff an envelope or place a sign on their lawn.

This in an effort to assure the public that there will be no conflict perceived or real.
Make no mistake about it – the Dunderdale crew believes you and I are stupid. Additionally they believe the media is inept and will not interfere with their interference of democratic principles. 

We have reached the point where strips of pavement, inaccurate polls and “threats” – determine who wins and regardless of the lunacy placed before us we shall follow.
We have reached a point where both the federal and provincial governments believe they can strip us of whatever they wish and we will say nothing other than reward them with votes. 

It was pathetic listening to the media “report” that Len Simms and Ross Reid had been reappointed. Imagine that – thanks for letting us know. For all the news in Newfoundland and Labrador please refer to the government webpage. For crime and carnage please follow your traditional radio or television station. 

There used to be a time when reporters longed to be journalists – now we have announcers longing to be anchors. 

There used to be a time when boys longed to be men and girls – women – now we have adults longing not to think to achieve but only to cheer and follow.

So tell me then – who is responsible for the future of your children?

Sue, I am only able to follow the news from afar(Alberta)as I am working a fly-in job. I thank yo for keeping on top of what is really important.

it is obvious that the manstrema media are being very passive in their reporting on activities of the provincial government. Are they still afraid of Danny's shadow. There should be howls of outrage over these kinds of antics, whether they are legal or not. This is patronage to the nth degree and my concern is that we continue to elect these people. We need to return to-or perhaps more accurately-get to a much higher level of ethics in political parties. Sadly, all of them are lacking in developing any kind of coherent policy that ensures merit is the determining factor in these types of appointments.

Sue what are they trying to do, make our children corrupt before they even get the chance of becoming a politician to get that status?

It is shocking to hear that our school children will be given a second chance for cheating and it has been announced all over the country. I saw it on CBC's Newsworld yesterday. Oh My God What Are We Coming To Sue?
