So how are we shaping up here regarding the open discussion on the Muskrat Falls development?
Bloggers should be eliminated.
Open Line callers opposed should be thwarted.
The House of Assembly is closed.
The PUB does not get extension.
Public/Private partnership means not ALL information is available.
People and companies in the New England States, Nova Scotia and Ottawa will hear more from Nalcor our elected government members than we do.
All critics regardless of their professional background and experience - for some reason fail to comprehend the knowledge the Premier claims to possess.
The government is in control of all provincial assets and the budget, can spend away at Public Relations but now require inundation of open line programs as well.
The government despite it's belief that the people of the province are all for the project will not entertain a referendum on the deal.
A referendum would provide funds to critics from the public purse to debate the issue intelligently and openly. The tax dollars do come from us after all and that's the money government wishes to spend.
There have been no real public consultations by the Province as the developing jurisdiction.
We have not been told about the negotiations with Quebec and Gull Island power nor have we been told about what other options were not fully explored regarding industrial development in Labrador.
The Premier is hiding and wants to stay low and push ahead. She wants the public to believe all is well and it's only a few from the peanut gallery that wish to cause trouble. She has not identified what the agendas of these people are - other than those who are known partisans.
What do you call this type of government? They want to spend 6 billion dollars of our money and they want to spend it without opportunity for dissent.
This is our water - this is our resource - this is our project......heard this stuff sometime before. I might have been 9 years old at the time.
