Old Harry - and the French Debate - What are the Premier's thoughts?

Old Harry another potential multi-billion dollar oil-gas reserve off Newfoundland and Labrador's coast is slipping away and is probably gone.

Our Premier - Kathy Dunderdale - is either incapable of dealing with this issue or does not desire to fight it for another reason.

I believe the French Language debate has concluded where her buddy Stephen Harper stands and that is contrary to the best interests of our province.

Let's everybody decide what we can take from this Harper commentary. When asked about Quebec's place in Canada and how the parties were going to win back the hearts of Quebeckers - Harper said:

- we recognized Quebec as a nation within a united Canada
- we gave Quebec a seat at UNESCO
- we have established a new agreement on Old Harry

As Newfoundlanders and Labradorians - do we think the Premier's buddy Harper was misspeaking?

Should we take a long pause and wait for Harper to add - if it is determined that Old Harry is within the Quebec boundaries?

Old Harry is gone unless we get rid of Dunderdale and start fighting for our very existence.

By the way - Duceppe has already started to extend that oil/gas boundary to the fishery and is coming after us on that in short order.
