Nalcor bonuses - reflective of arrogance

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.
