| Hydro-Quebec Document (Current Strategic Plan) |
When listening to the radio, watching television or reading the newspapers about events in this province, there seems to be a missing link. One that bridges all that information together and provides a way for people to contribute, express or lobby their concerns in their own time. After-all, this is our home and everyone cannot fit in Lukie's boat and paddle their way to Upper Canada, nor should we!

Harper & MacKay need a Wake-up Call! Top Priority - Burton Winters
This is a post about priorities. Please take the time to read the Maclean's Story below. The compare it to the Search and Rescue situation in Newfoundland and Labrador.
Then think about Peter MacKay's statement today about doing a "review of protocols" after the loss of a wonderful young man from Labrador - named Burton Winters.
The facebook page for more information on Burton Winters story and what is being done by the people of Newfoundland and Labrador PRESS HERE.
These politicians are too arrogant and must be guided once again by people - not by a misguided ignorant position on something they clearly do not think is important. Is it the bureaucrats mentioned below responsible for "advising" Ministers such as MacKay or our Prime Minister?
We are here to tell them they are wrong.
Here's the Story
Newly-released figures show senior federal bureaucrats paid exorbitant rates to fly to Paris, London and other destinations. Airfares purchased by officials with the Privy Council, the Prime Minister’s own department, for the final quarter of 2011 have been posted online and include several expensive trips abroad, reports the Canadian Press. One assistant secretary flew round trip to London at a cost of $6,855; a clerk paid $6,625 for the same trip. What class they were flying is unknown, but an economy ticket for a return trip between Ottawa and London can be booked two weeks in advance for less than $1,000. Flights to Paris, another favourite destination among civil servants, Dublin and other European cities were also booked at prices ranging from $4,000 to $6,000.
Travel expenses have been a sore spot for the Harper government in the past year, ever since CTV reported a chief of defence staff who had spent $1.5 million flying a government-owned plane, once to a Caribbean holiday and to NHL and CFL games. Afterwards, the Privy Council wrote an internal memo to Harper describing the rules for travel spending and highlighting reductions in travel expenses. The memo was signed by Wayne Wouters, the clerk of the Privy Council. Wouters went to London in November for $6,625.
Then, in December, Defence Minister Peter Mackay acknowledged riding aboard a military helicopter in the summer as part of a search-and-rescue mission, only to have later surface that the Air Force’s CH-149 Cormorant chopper plucked Mackay from a fishing he’d been taking in Newfoundland.

Maybe the Privy Council should just acknowledge and respond to my Email
What is that below?
It is a record of Canada's Privy Council Office visiting the site. Now they do that periodically especially if there is any talk about separation - but this time it's different. This time they are up reviewing the MAP FLAP story.
The reason I am posting this is because I emailed Rona Ambrose last Friday. Ambrose is the Minister of Intergovernmental Affairs and President of the Privy Council. My correspondence related to the fraudulent maps being distributed by the Government of Quebec. Please read a copy of the letter at the end of this post.
Problem is - Ambrose has not responded to the email and her office will not even provide me with acknowledgement of receipt. What's the big deal Minister? Simply answer the question I posed. Currently I am a citizen of Canada.

Rona Ambrose
Minister of Intergovernmental Affairs
President of the Privy Council
Government Of Canada
Dear Minister,
I am writing to you as a citizen of Canada and of Newfoundland and Labrador. It has come to my attention now on many occasions that official maps of the Government of Quebec represent a false border between Newfoundland and Labrador and Quebec. These maps are being widely distributed by the Tourism Quebec - Natural Resources Quebec - Transport Quebec - Elections Quebec - and even by Hydro-Quebec a Crown Corporation.
Could you please investigate why this is occurring as the borders between the two provinces were established in 1927 by the Privy Council and accepted by Canada - and further acknowledged at the time of Newfoundland and Labrador's entry into Canada in 1949.
If one lives in Quebec or in Newfoundland and Labrador they should be able to view maps of provinces and of the country that represent proper borders. Further I have noticed documents filed by Hydro-Quebec with the Department of Fisheries and Oceans that ignore the correct boundaries of the provinces.
What can the Federal Government do to correct this situation?
I look forward to your earliest reply.
Best Regards,
Sue Kelland-Dyer
