Marshall carried on with some subtle media warnings about writing anything that might criticize the government. I think he was also telling people not to question politicians and to stop being cynical.
Marshall's
This man has no courage and certainly has no respect for the people of the province. He wants to ensure that his leader answers no real questions on any public issue - but he was generous enough to tell people - they should have some opposition members.
Where next Tom?
Tom - Minister of Natural Resources
Joan - Minister of Health
Jerome - Minister of Finance
But what's most important is - who will the speaker be? Who cares? The People's House is being held up by politicians without integrity and who have no respect for the electorate.
Tom says, everything is under control - dont' worry - be happy.
I'm wondering the stories of people getting telephone calls if the right political sign was not on their lawn - or community leaders warned of repercussions if they did not support their master - or people who were frightened to death for their job if they stuffed an envelope will come to light?
Speaking of which - why is Len Simms still on the Newfoundland and Labrador Housing website? This remained throughout the election. It is bad enough that this form of what could be perceived as intimidation was permitted to happen without media questions - it is worse that it carries on today.
So during the campaign - although Mr. Simms said he had resigned - people who rely on housing could very well think - he's still the boss. Is this what Tom Marshall is so proud of?
Proud of inaccurate and damaging polls by a company that works for agencies or departments of government?
Proud of bullying tactics toward people who critique government?
Proud of the loss of the fishery, forestry, and whole communities?
Proud of giving away resources so that millionaire shareholders make more and Nova Scotians have access to cheaper power while our people pay the price?
You Sir and your government would stop at nothing to get re-elected. It was and is a disgrace. 42% of our people did not vote. New Energy? No - same old - same old.

Tom Marshall was arrogant before the election and he is basically gloating right now. He takes a level of support at 30 % of the eligible voters as a strong mandate. Sure, his party won the majority of seats but only because of a disengaged electorate.
The young man who is protesting the non-opening of the House of Assembly is a brave soul but I can't help but wonder where the spirit has gone, in most of our young people. We old fogies tend to sit back somewhat but these young folks need to get out there and support him in his fight.
I am still appalled at the lack of criticism by the Opposition. This is a policy screaming to be incorporated into the Liberal red book or the NDP orange book but I am hearing very little thus far.
