Canada dead last in freedom of information requests study
Democracy is almost dead in Canada apparently. Is this what we want our children to inherit? Time to wake up people, the suits are gettin' a bit too comfortable in their ivory towers.

This ain't the Niger Delta.
Someone needs to tell Danny Williams that.
He seems to be trying to put himself in league with the likes of Shell Oil and their ilk. Well, he should take another look around and perhaps consider who he's dealing with. We're the same ones the Americans hired to go over to Afghanistan and try and talk some sense into the most hardened fighters in the world. That's not an easy job, and I certainly don't see any Nigerian battle groups there (if you get my point).
Trying to run our province like a third-world country has gotten him in over his head. The media cannot be controlled (completely), you cannot go into peoples houses and threaten them (without it coming out in the media), there's no militia to kick down doors and carry out extra-judicial killings (yet), no mob for hire to do false flag riots so martial law can be induced (unless Danny and his hockey buddies wanna start some shit on George with da fishin' and farmin' boys).
Our province is no longer for sale to the highest bidder (from Quebec or anywhere else). It's time the suits in St. John's get that point, and start looking out for the interests of our people like we elected them to do. They can learn that the easy way or the hard way. It is still their decision.

The Chinese buy in, the Americans buy them out, we lose. End of story.
Here is what happens to ex-politicians once they leave our most trusted office of premier.
From the Montreal Gazette this morning.
Cliffs pays $4.9B for iron ore miner
Tobin heads the company that's dealing with the Chinese on our resources and then turns around and sells out to the Americans.
He couldn't sell our water, so he went elsewhere and is now selling our metal resources. Makes sense, I guess.
Seriously, that's messed up.

Brad Cabana has got a pair
Well.
At least we know someone has a pair.
Might be THE game-changer we need around here. Hope so.
No local political ties, from out west with NL roots.
What will come from this? Stay tuned.
