Without knowing the information, that you have shared, Newfoundlanders felt in their bones that this project was folly and as more lies and dishonesty became apparent, it was all but assured that Muskrat Falls and the Nalcor officials and government politicians were all either corrupt or do not care about our provincial finances. Your explanation has now exposed the truth so that all can see and understand that Newfoundlanders have been played as fools and pawns in this big high risks game.

There's no way a bank is going approve a mortgage if you don't have clear title to the land or municipal approvals to build. It's like Ottawa didn't exactly have our best interests at heart. Then again, why would they?

These are also the same loudmouths that said no O&G company would sing a long term supply contract for natural gas for Holyrood's replacement.<br />New power won't be required until 2036 in NL, 2 decades later then the brain trust at Nalcor/PCs sold MF on. 20c kWh power by the 2020s when half of all taxes filed in NL are under $30,000 will see quite a steep demand decline due to rate shock. Proponents ignored the personal cost to ratepayers, 8c kWh increase from our current 12c kWh is $1400 more a year for the same 62GJ of power currently consumed per household. <br />Nalcor presented absurd demand forecasts of 10500GWH by 2041 and 12000GWh by 2067, 2010s demand was 7600GWH. Long Harbor (Vale Inco) was the only confirmed new power at 77.6 MW a month in 2017, where does the remaining 2000GWH (+25% demand increase by 2041) come from exactly?<br />Delaying MF until all the legal ducks were lined up would have staggered major construction projects in NL thereby lowing labour costs since demand would level out, not skyrocket as they have. <br />By the time the court declarations/rulings were made the price of oil would have started its great fall, $2.2B LCO alongside HQs WMA rights remaining = the project DoA.AChttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06779383664665696092noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5235138415013046381.post-66117254417675692442016-08-29T15:36:28.593-02:302016-08-29T15:36:28.593-02:30Wangersky is offering bad legal advice to continue...Wangersky is offering bad legal advice to continue beating the nationalist NL drum. Truly disgusting coming from a so called investigative journalist that asked no questions about this back handed attempt to take control of water management that the courts have clearly outlined. <br /><br />The peril this stunt puts on rate/taxpayers deserves to be widely exposed.

No wonder Dunderdale is now silent and will take no questions on MF. She stated on CBC TV that it takes time for true facts to be separated from the coloured facts! Guess we know who were the champions of the coloured facts.<br /> Welcome back Des. Looking forward to your view on the latest Liberty Report, where true facts keep coming.
