    Having spent 3 years in Labrador and more than a few months in St Johns and Gander, I have to say I'm all for NFLD getting ahead. The only pisser for me is Danny. He's just such a grandstander. Mind you, Joey was of the same ilk!

    oh joey was much worse from what my grandparents tell me...

    to me it seems like Danny Williams just wants the best for the province, and wants what was owed to us.

    I'm looking forward to the twists and turns to keep NL from being a "have" province and making transfer payments.

    And NFLD deserves much better than it's had from Confederation.
    I just think Danny undermines the people who want a better NFLD within the CFA crowd, me among them.

    Danny Williams has ordered his Illustrious Potentate
    throne and robes...Albertans will be lining up for jobs, and
    will be willing to live in just about anything to work there.
    This is the socio-economic tilt of the century...really, it is.
