The Americans are making great strides in this approach and avoiding expensive new generation costs like Muskrat Falls. The Efficiency issue may seem a bit complex, if one does not have a technical background, but the approach works well, and Antle should understand that. Given he opposed the current MF deal, I was confident he would jump at the opportunity to lead us into the modern error of heating technology, and also save the ordinary householder a bundle over the coming decades. So here is what I heard from Antle. .............No acknowledgement..... nothing. I guess he was just looking to me for a donation. So I have written off Paul, who I thought would see the smart moves the Americans are making would be of benefit here. <br /> As to Mr Ball. I received a letter addressed to my business, looking for a donation, and he even gave me his personal cell phone number. I wondered if he gives that number to all voters? Or are business interests special? As we already a government too influenced by business, a change to Mr Ball suggests no change for the overall electorate. So I have written off Mr Ball.<br /> Cathy is pro MF. A disaster in the making.<br />Danny D? he is now gone astray on a tunnel vision, which likely has more problems than the MF North spur problem.<br /> Mr Bennett seems to have a good head on his shoulders. he is soft spoken, and makes reasoned arguments. he seems the best of the lot.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5235138415013046381.post-18538516754137502022013-10-21T08:33:33.930-02:302013-10-21T08:33:33.930-02:30The PC party is endorsing a 1 Billion dollar commi...The PC party is endorsing a 1 Billion dollar committment (for a family of four this represents 8000 $) with the opposition parties saying nothing. There should be riots. Yet the opposition parties are unable to go for the jugular. <br /><br />For the liberals I support Ball. But I actually think Antle is the best candidate. He is working hard, and is a bright guy. In a traditional leadership selection process I think he would of came up through the middle to win (between Bennet and Ball). In this process who knows. I am thinking about changing my own vote to Paul. <br /><br />As for the NDP, well they are fading fast. They are the best organized of the 2 opposition parties, but the allure of their leader is waning. They should have a quick leadership review, and open the party to new blood. This would undermine the liberal's growth in the polls. <br /><br />The NDP have worked too hard to enter into the next election with a leader who is not electable. Dale Kirby is a solid performer.... but there are others. <br /><br />My money is that the NDP push a leadership review within the next 2-3 months. If they can make it through this review, intact, then they stand a solid chance of forming the next government. Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
