No project is too challenging or unique, too big or small says Peter Kiewit & Sons

Something is wrong with this picture and most certainly the advertising. Peter Kiewit and Sons

So the Premier is delighted that Kiewit has withdrawn from a 30 year multi-billion dollar deal for Marystown and Newfoundland and Labrador. She is thrilled that Kiewit is too busy to bother with this.

Please read the statements from Kiewit's own website and ask yourself - does something seem a little off with this. The media of this province and the Opposition parties need to really dig this out.

Is there another deal made here? Does it have anything to do with the Lower Churchill? Is it to appease Quebec or Peter MacKay? Did the province not provide enough support? What does the Premier know?

One thing is for certain Newfoundland and Labrador and her people got taken again.

Just doing a cursory review of Kiewit history tells one that something just is not right.
