Yes Newfoundland and Labrador there is a Sasquatch - ask Kathy

Newfoundland and Labrador politics is reaching new lows - the silence from Dunderdale is scary. Is she able to explain the finances of the province? Why is Marshall the only point man now from health and tax - to deception and misinformation?

Then Minister Marshall gets a free ride. How many times have the hosts of the VOCM triple play talk-shows been asked - "the next time Minister Marshall comes on ask him about the Dr. Wade Locke report on pharmacy"? How many times - including last week was Marshall on-air right after the question was asked - only to have the host pass him a pair of skates - and avoid the question?

Why have the leaders not been asked to spend a morning on Open-Line to address the public? That used to be a common thing - that is pre-DanTory.

Kathy Dunderdale saunters by and passes a comment about the Liberal Policy Agenda; that's not affordable. Then dutifully Tony calls in to say that the Libs never spent all the money the Tories did and let all the infrastructure crumble. Now talking to Tony is probably the best example of wasting breath one could find. The fellow is inexplicably full of blue blood and the thought of any transfusion is like an O recipient trying to digest AB. The body just simply rejects it. It matters not to Tony that the words he utters are untrue, misleading, or at best skewed - he carries on anyway. Does Tony offer anything new when he calls again and again? No! But that works - Tony has his role for the Tories.

Kathy is the recipient of an urban economy that is flush from oil revenues - primarily from deals made by the Liberals. The money rolls from Voisey's Bay and the economy of the Placentia area grows on the back of Liberal deals. Does she know how to spend it? No - she does not - but that's okay she will spend it all anyway and take it in as fast the oil will pump. There is not a care for the future or the people who will attempt to live in it.

The only thing Kathy is responsible for is the Muskrat deal inseminated by Williams. This deal is bad - simple as that. There is no justification for it on any level and the questions keep coming from people in the public who are cognizant of the damage it could cause.

The equalization folklore has grown into a Sasquatch - I remember when "we got it" - it looked something like ... and then it had two heads. The equalization situation is worse now than it ever was and we are not better off. Back to the Sasquatch - the government now says he are a "have" province. Fiction - pure fiction, as government spins so hard a crater is forming below them - and we are going to fall into it. We are a "have" province because Harper changed the formula but NOT to our benefit.

The two billion we achieved from Martin and the federal Libs is offset by the ten billion we lose under Harper. What did Kathy, Danny, and Tories do about it? Nothing - they insured that Fabian Manning would not be elected. You can tell how upset Stephen is by that.

Under the Tories we lost two valuable paper-mills, fish plants, and several federal services. Happy Valley-Goose Bay has not done any better. Where is the new base - the new commitment promised over and over and over? A new prison? Custodial control nose and tail? Joint management? So what does Kathy do? Let's start afresh with the traitor - let's start liking Harper again.

Let's face it - the new love-in of Harper had already begun under Williams prior to his departure. Why? The answer to that is simple - Williams wanted the Emera deal. The unspoken - the unexplored - the absence of the media - all contributing to the big lie being perpetrated on our people.

The fishery continues to collapse for communities, fishermen, and plant workers but is moving ahead fine for the owners of the stock (that is not the people). The greatest eco-disaster of the modern ages and yet - nothing is sought in retribution. We lose 40,000 people - not a word - just the continued drone of incompetent politicians echoing in our ears. Our rural communities devastated - families ripped apart without a second thought by Kathy and her colleagues clones. Economies barely surviving on Alberta money - while seniors lose their families and are dragged into homes outside of their home-towns. One parent raising children in a two parent household.

And then the likes of Paddy - Paddy Daly - laughing his way through "Iceland is bankrupt". The decree from on high - atop the hill on Kenmount Road. The man who repeats what you have just said to him - yet seems so unfamiliar (aka putting words in somebodies mouth). The man who is waiting to be convinced one way or another on the Muskrat Falls deal as he declares all are not doing a good job of explaining it to him. This may not be the problem he thinks - perhaps he just does not get it and perhaps that's his own fault. Tis easier for Paddy to condemn the caller as a "know-it-all" or somebody who "does not have the gift of debate" - than to simply recognize he is ignorant on the subject.

Dumbing down of our population is key to allow the power brokers most of whom we do not know or ever see. Dumbing down to take our resources and make us feel good while they do it.

Then there are the MHA'selite remainder rediscovering the depths of unethical behavior through misinformation, deceit, and spin. The Jerome Kennedy's of the lower power hungry - fighting whoever is in front of him - taking low blows - dodging in the shadows - where bullies hang out. Then there is our Premier - the unelected leader of Danny's Party. The woman who would serve her king at all costs. Jogging, jogging, jogging, into a new wardrobe for the photo-ops of Ross Reid's carefully crafted spending of the budget.

This new game is dangerous and the people will not win if we play it. The threats veiled or direct, the interference in the peoples' right to speak, the underlying deceit of the power brokers, and the direct control of the future by Danny, Dean, and Brian - will result in the making of billionaires on the backs of our people.
