So the election is over and the moaning begins.
Examples of this are everywhere!
1. Don Mills of Corporate Research - says that polling may be a problem and the industry must meet and will be meeting on this.
2. Dean MacDonald has problems with Kathy Dunderdale - now - but where during the election.
3. Mayor Bill Hogan - Placentia - full force rural complaints - but only after the election.
4. Protests and disgust relative to the House of Assembly not opening in the fall. Dunderdale said this before the election.
5. Fogo Island and Change Islands complaints on ferry - after the election.
6. Labrador City residents protest lack of Obstetrics services - after the election. Have petition to the House of Assembly but its not open.
7. The Telegram editorial today talking about the hypocrisy of the Dunderdale squad on not debating the Muskrat deal in the House of Assembly - when they demanded it on Voisey's Bay when in Opposition. Sue's Blog and others have been saying this for months. Only after the election do they speak about it.
It's amazing how concerned everybody becomes after the vote. What's more important here is that these issues were known prior to the election - nothing new.
I guess Kathy Dunderdale's dictatorial statements to the plant workers and fishers on the Burin Peninsula - that these issues would not be dealt with during the election was real. Oh well!
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!
