Okay - I do like my Blackberry and PlayBook. I like the fact that this is a Canadian Company.
You have fallen on hard times - time for some more innovation.
How about you offer shares with the sale of your products.
Buy a Playbook for $200 get 20 shares. Let us in - let average Canadians in on the action.
People buying your products now are afraid - it's risky - are you going to be there in a month.
For the risk - offer shares.
Market your innovation, your history, and your maple leaf.
Surely the shareholders that remain would go for something that has a real chance of recovering value.
You want a chance to show your stuff again - you need time - you need shareholders.
Come on Research in Motion - get mobile - and share a Cinderella story with fellow Canadians. Go from Province to Province and meet with people. Do the BBQ circuit. Time for the Nerds to let loose and seek support from those of us who use your technology and support it.
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!

Who Owns Nalcor? Let the Shareholders (you and me) Vote on Muskrat at the AGM on June 22nd
While Premier Dunderdale, Minister Shawn Skinner, and CEO Ed Martin treat Nalcor as their own private entity - the reality is you an I - the people of Newfoundland and Labrador own it.
We fought very hard to stop the takeover bid by nameless faceless wealthy and mostly offshore investors - under the Clyde Wells administration.
At the time the PC's were in Opposition and purportedly fighting along side us to keep the profitable company under the ownership of the people. How quickly they forget - or perhaps how quickly they become arrogant when the political tides turn and they find themselves across the floor in government.
Premier Dunderdale and the PC's used our knowledge and expertise when they were in Opposition and we - the people were fighting the Liberals on the privatization attempt. They held us up as people - who knew their stuff and had a vision for the Crown Jewel - then known as Newfoundland and Labrador Hydro.
Political expedience and unknown agendas personal and professional - now see the PC's view the very same people they held up as experts - reduced to bothersome mosquito's not worthy of input.
Then you have the likes of Gil Bennett - a person who owes his job and opportunity with Nalcor to the people of Newfoundland and Labrador - sit in a chair with such arrogance and disdain of the very same people.
Premier Dunderdale has not demonstrated the necessary knowledge or presented the necessary qualifications to pilot a deal - such as the Muskrat Falls. She is out of her league when it comes to dealing with private entities such as Emera - and frankly out of her league keeping up with her own bureaucrats. This is particularly dangerous as some of the same bureaucrats are still around as were around during the privatization fiasco.
The Telegram, CBC, and NTV have all noted that experts in the field - some of them with significant PC pedigree - have and continue to question the Emera giveaway. The concerns range from straight economics to social and industrial advancement of Labrador.
Dunderdale continues to stumble over any questions - or simply avoids them - one has to wonder if Tim Powers is lurking somewhere - and all Cabinet attempts to bolster the Premier's obvious weaknesses - fail.
This is in part due to the atmosphere of the "rah rah" backbench which are as clueless now as when they sat and cheered for exactly opposite positions under Williams. The most obvious example of this was the "new found" support for Harper.
Danny says "do not elect Conservatives Stephen Harper is a dangerous man". Backbenchers and Cabinet alike "rah rah" "ABC" "ABC". Kathy says "elect Conservatives - Stephen Harper is a changed man". Bankbenchers and Cabinet alike chanted "rah rah" "ABC is dead" "ABC is dead".
Now is the time for us - the shareholders of Nalcor - to start exercising our shareholders rights. Now is the time to weed out the weaknesses at the Executive level of our Corporation. Because these hydro resources are owned by the people and because Nalcor is owned by the people - a shareholders vote must be taken.
The time for a referendum is now.
Nalcor is holding it's AGM on June 22 - 2011 - and imagine this - they have opened it to the public. I imagine they have we own it. They would like people to register in advance - they point out - in the event the meeting if full - registrants will get first dibs on the unknown number of places at the Holiday Inn in St. John's. They also suggest any questions you have - you can submit them in advance.
What would happen if let's say two or three thousand people turned up for the event - to listen to our employees give an update on their "successes" regarding Nalcor and the performance of our company.
What do you think?
