The attitude of the Dunderdale administration is progressively getting worse. The underlying message is "we have the power" and apparently they will abuse it.
When we speak of bullies - we think of somebody who might be physically imposing or somebody who surrounds him/herself with goon-like followers. When we speak of bullies we think of people who abuse their perceived power by forcing people to accept their point of view or actions.
Bully is (noun): A person who uses strength or power to harm or intimidate those who are weaker.
Bullying is (verb): Use superior strength or influence to intimidate (someone), typically to force him or her to do what one wants.
Darin King continues to maintain his actions toward the FFAW. It is bullying - and he is a bully.
Kathy Dunderdale and Jerome Kennedy continue to force the Emera deal on Muskrat Falls down our throats - by bullying people who speak up against it.
Look at Stephen Harper - a bully and a liar - he also is the Prime Minister.
If our society accepts this continued behavior by our elected public servants - we cannot feign shock at the actions of children when bullying one another.
By accepting the unacceptable behavior of our politicians - we say to our children - bully bully and bully some more. If your child follows the lead of these politicians - they can expect that they may be elected, rise to the position of Cabinet Minister and may even become Premier.
By permitting our politicians to act this way - and in fact rewarding them with re-election - the message is clear for bullies - keep it up - you too can rise to the top.
