I woke up this morning only to hear that the House of Assembly was open last night and I missed it.
Tweeter was alive with NDP member Dale Kirby fending off Ministers and PC backbenchers on the issue of Muskrat Falls.
The use of Twitter by Dale Kirby is reasonable as the Tories will NOT open the House of Assembly. The use of Twitter by backbench Tories may be the only real opportunity to show their zealous loyalty.
The use of Twitter by Ministers is an insult to the public they serve.
The use of Twitter by Ministers to debate a 6 billion dollar deal represents regime tactics you'd expect from North Korea.
We live in a modern democracy but we would be hard-pressed to defend that.
We are living under a government that will not listen to critics - regardless of their background or expertise.
We are living under a government that will block and thwart due processes that were established to protect our system from incompetence and corruption.
We are living under a government that will not provide open access to information to the people, the media, and the Auditor General.
We are living under a government that does not serve the people - but abuses the power the Premier says she is humbled by.
Remember Wonka had a chocolate factory and so did we under Joey - and apparently we will get another Upper Churchill too.
One thing we should remember - is that the government we get is the government we deserve so perhaps we should all reflect - and then take the action necessary to advise the oompa loompas that this project is not on.

Sue, I long for the day when we can have real electoral reform, including the ability to recall some of the minions and idiots that are now trying to run this fiefdom.
