and wants your undivided attention.
So please read what he has to say in the comments section of Sue's Blog post A+ for Hebron MOU.
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!

Repeat Performance
The Minister of Tourism has now announced he is happy with Tourism Numbers - Here again the Tourism Picture Book:
A Picture Book for Minister of Tourism Tom Hedderson
+
+
+
= 500,000 tourists to Newfoundland and Labrador every year.
_____________________________________________________________________________________
+
= 1 million tourists to PEI every year.
Please ask yourself this - PEI with a fifth of our population and a geography we can all bike across - how is it they double our tourism.
Look at our Tourism potential and ask yourself - what are we doing wrong? Geography second to none from the Big Land to the Island what is it we do not have?
For starters our bureaucracy has chased the Ontario market through a dozen Ministers and not one of them have had the vision to change. We concentrate on our "mints on a stick" pitcherless plant logo for marketing initiatives.
Then of course there is the "Con" federation Bridge which has increased tourism by 300,000 people a year while our Marine Atlantic does everything possible to keep people out.
Then there is the HST 14% on everything in Newfoundland and Labrador versus a combined PST and GST tax of 10% and only 6% on clothing in PEI.
How can that be?
Well our past Liberal Government threw us into the HST scheme with New Brunswick and Nova Scotia while everybody else opted out including PEI. As a result we would have to get permission from NB and NS to reduce our taxes or we have to give them notice that we are leaving the system.
So Minister Hedderson if you think you and your government are successful in Tourism development - think again. Other countries in the world with similar scenery - wildlife - and environment are enjoying tens of millions of tourists.
And while we are at it - understand the bridge has also increased food processing - potato sales - and improved fish exports. Do any of you have a clue - or are you just stuffed with those BBQ hot dogs?
