I can only sit in amazement as I watch politicians attempt to turn another fiasco into a blessing.
One mill down - ah that's alright - in fact it's better for the region.
Two mills down - ah that's alright - we will attract more by not having the mill here.
Three mills down - sure that's a hat trick - great all round.
One fish plant goes - fine makes the other ones stronger.
Two plants down - rationalization is occurring - Great!
Three plants down - marvelous let's do more aquaculture.
Four plants down - now we are getting somewhere.
Five plants down - well you knew that would happen.
Six plants down - perfect St. John`s and Mount Pearl are booming!!
Now with all this industry gone - we will surely need more power - don`t you see it?
While we are at it - let's downsize Search and Rescue surely this must be good.
Or better yet let's back out of 70 billion in federal shipbuilding work because Kiewit is too busy - that's good news right?
How about cuts to the Canada Food Inspection Agency in Newfoundland and Labrador - great - marvelous!
Cuts to DFO - fisheries science - yay!
How about the loss of Veteran's Affairs office in Corner Brook - rolls right along with the mill. Perfect!
How about ACOA and the federal parks - downsize - rightsize - marginalize Newfoundland and Labrador - hip hip hooray!
How about cuts to the community access programs - Yes that is wonderful news for rural towns!
Now let's focus on EI - yes that will help Newfoundland and Labrador.
Or maybe the (un)equalization formula - made in Quebec to punish Newfoundland and Labrador.
So what's next? Old Harry?
Can't wait the future looks very bright indeed.
We can be the hippest, coolest, youngest province to become non-existent.
Stop being so negative - emphasize all these positives!!

It's all about the Economy Stupid!
Stephen Harper says to Canadians - the election is only about the economy.
Stephen Harper and the Conservatives found in contempt of Parliament - Harper says Canadians don't care about that. It's all about the economy!
Stephen Harper has lied and lied to provinces, interest groups, and individuals. Harper thinks Canadians don't care about this. It's all about the economy!
Cabinet Minister's caught lying - misleading - cheating. Harper says that's not what Canadians worry about. It's all about the economy!
Harper's office employs criminals - turns the RCMP upside down - and allows ethnic profiling for votes. Harper says Canadians do not consider this a priority. It's all about the economy!
Citizens of Canada are routinely thrown out of Harper election (public) events and routinely roughed up at G-8 - like a third world dictatorship. Harper says Canadians really don't mind these distractions. It's all about the economy!
Students at a University have a special ballot and Harper goons first try to stop it (apparently physically) and then protest the vote to Elections Canada - that coincidentally is the same body they ignore and then break the law with "unique" election financing. Harper believes these are not problems Canadians have to be concerned about. It's all about the economy!
An election is called and the first thing Harper establishes is a question limit per day for the media. He ignores the tenets of democracy and counts on - we - the people accepting this obvious display of dictatorship. It's all about the economy!
What do you honestly think this man might do with a majority? It's all about the economy!
Gutting of public service? - Probable
Gutting of universal health care? - Probable
Gutting of Canadian values? - Likely
Elimination of CBC? Right up on the list
Freedoms gone or twisted to suit his personal religious beliefs? I will predict that
Patronage appointments? Completely
Prisons and children? Full and build as you go - regardless of cost
Wars? Yes we will be shoulder to shoulder with the USA in all military conflicts
Americanization? Absolutely - they will essentially own us
Environment? What environment
There is a reason this extreme right-wing fanatic has been rejected by Canadians - there is a reason we have not given him a majority.
