The latest round of Nalcor executive bonuses is reflective of the arrogance of our elected officials.
The province can stop these bonuses from occurring but have not.
This province is virtually bankrupt from the Muskrat Falls fiasco - and we the ratepayers, shareholders and taxpayers cannot afford these ludicrous insulting bonuses.
In my opinion - the Premier and the CEO of Nalcor are testing our resolve. They are testing the waters for what we will stand for and if we are willing to pull the plug on their stupidity and arrogance.
If we accept these bonuses - will we also sit like little lambs as the power bills soar?
Will we continue to demand a forensic audit?
There is not a truly reasonable consideration that would allow Gil Bennett and other executives to receive a reward for "performance".
Speak up now and be heard. What are you waiting for? The doubling of your power bill? The loss of another 40,000 people? The loss of your job?
If we were to implement the real costs of Muskrat on our bill now - would that make you stand up? I think Con O'Brien might be on to something when he says - put it on our bill now. In that way the following generations (if there are any left here) would not be paying for our mess. Perhaps if it was on our power bill now - you and everybody else would hit the streets in protest.
Right now - we should be demanding the retraction of these absurd bonuses - and force the government to take some action.
Call your MHA and say - no bonuses for Nalcor and demand a forensic audit immediately. Tell them your vote depends on what they do right now - today.

If we wait for Muskrat to be history - we won't be studying it in Newfoundland and Labrador - we won't exist.

The problem is that many of our citizens feel very deeply that nothing can be done because we've been oppressed and depressed into believing there's no hope except to listen to our leaders (thieves mostly) and hope for better times ahead. How has THAT worked out so far? We MUST unite as citizens and take back the power from the elite crooks and give it back to the citizens and we now have all the technology to do this with (relative) ease. Online petitions, surveys and plebiscites can bring the people's opinions forward and changes to our legislation can prevent future rip-offs through corrupted contracts and back-room dealings. Let's do it folks. It takes just a walk and some discussion to form a protest. Nobody gets hurt, our voices get heard and sometimes we make a real difference... such as reducing the levy for the lower income earners, rolling back the book tax and reviewing the (insane) Library decisions etc., for starters. We can take over the province if we can summon the courage in enough citizens, to bring about positive change. Ask your friends, neighbours and coworkers ... how much is too much??
