In the House of Assembly today - Minister of Natural Resources - Jerome Kennedy made a very dangerous statement.
In response to several questions on the proposed Emera deal on Muskrat Falls - he defended the deal - in part - by saying the "the Premier of Nova Scotia supports the deal".
I will remind the Minister that the Premier of Quebec supported the Upper Churchill deal.
What relevance at all does the Premier of Nova Scotia hold with respect to developing Newfoundland and Labrador's resources?
Further the project is not being done with the Government of Nova Scotia - it is with a private corporation.
It would appear to any reasonably minded person that the Premier of Nova Scotia would be supporting that which he felt would be good for Nova Scotia - not Newfoundland and Labrador.
The last time we had another jurisdiction's Premier support a hydro deal was - in fact - the Upper Churchill. My guess is all Quebec Premier's have felt the same since.
To the contrary how have all other Newfoundland and Labrador Premiers felt about the Upper Churchill deal?
Today Minister Kennedy made one of the most dangerous and idiotic statements to date on this development.

Sue, Jerome Kennedy has become the spokeperson for double speak with this government. He is all over the place and throws out comments that are contrdictory and nonsensical.
I used to wonder how population in dictatorial states felt when their leaders extolled the virtues of living in tyranny. Not anymore! We have it here now...they just call it a democracy but act like these dictators, in terms of misleading people.
