As predicted by Sue's Blog earlier today - and according to a VOCM news story:
Stephane and Danny talked turkey on the Lower Churchill with Dion saying - he would be very pleased to work with Newfoundland and Labrador and the province of Quebec, to try and reconcile the views of both provinces and move forward on the development of the Lower Churchill project.
and
Dion says the development would greatly benefit the entire country, pointing to our energy needs and the issue of climate change.
_________________________________________________________________
Stephane Dion is here - and he brings this message:
We will honour the Atlantic Accord - a promise Dion says that Stephen Harper broke.
I wonder can Stephane Dion read English? Evidence so far suggests he cannot.
For Stephane and cling-ons Siobahn Coady - Judy Foote - Walter Noel et al. - here's the promise the Prime Minister made:
We will remove non-renewable resource revenue from the equalization formula to encourage the development of economic growth in the non-renewable resource sectors across Canada.
Dion delivers safe - safe - safe message for Quebec and Ontario - usual crap for Newfoundland and Labrador.
So Stephane - what's your position on non-renewable resource revenues? Don't come here and tell us that you will live up to the promise that Harper did not make.
While your visiting with our Premier - don't forget to push Canada's energy objective - to remove the Lower Churchill power from Labrador and move it into Central Canada to help air-quality and energy shortages in Ontario. And true to form - don't forget to push that power through a Quebec owned transmission line. You have a Premier who is determined to solve the energy issues in Canada - while leaving our province without the industrially attractive hydro-power.
