MR BIG
By John Tuach
“Develop
or Perish!” - Smallwood.
A
former ‘Main Man’ steering ship?
The
files will have a familiar flip:
Churchill
River hydro mill -
Cash
for Provincial coffers fill!
Offshore
oil, mines, forestry,
Energy,
and fish - all travesty!
Industrial
avarice in major plays,
Who
abets the give-aways?
Power
to run the metal mines,
Windmill
spins atop the Barrens,
Making
pellets - a money burn,
Old
projects, each in turn.
An
alternate agenda is a toot:
Prolong
the Muskrat money loot
To
obfuscate some other theft -
And
perished public more bereft.
And
some suggest conspiracy:
Plunder
planned (a resource spree?)
A
Nalcor asset fire-sale feast
When
entrails stirred of Muskrat beast.
Did
‘Canada’ steer the scam?
To
issue bonds to build the dam,
To
grab a slab of finance loot,
Perchance
a numbers game afoot.
Is
there ‘The Man’ for subterfuges?
(The
latter crowds only stooges).
That
sat around at Federal tables,
Investment
lucre now enables.
Media
manipulator extraordinaire,
To move
and shake the political air.
Knows
the people (to burn) too green -
A
puppet-master behind the scene?
