Don't know why they do that, except just to be ambiguous, so they can't be nailed down. But the alert media will sort that out, maybe next year. So does PROJECTS refer to generation site, LIL, soldiers pond, NS link, etc. Can't imagine referring to Muskrat and Gull, at this time. If they are they may as well throw in the Fuxed Link too, so that we can be as totally confused as they are themselves.

At home all day going blah..............Anon, @20;20<br />At home all day going blah.............on UG?<br /><br />At 1 am, not at home, but at the hotel near Halifax airport, after a gureling day seeking advise and a Plan of Care for wife's stage 4 cancer with an expert who does HIPEC (look it up) a generally high risk procedure. Flight was to leave about 10pm, repeatedly cancelled maybe due to icing conditions, so rebooked for 7am flight.<br /> About 3 hrs sleep, and made the morning flight. Wife wearing a face mask, presently her immune system impaired following infusion chemo into her veins also causing memory issues and diarrhea.Wife with colonmosty,(bag on her side), and dirrhea kicks in big time after day 2, so hoping no mishap and a bag leak, or a big problem.<br />I generally avoid flying, with severe back pain in a sitting position, but we make it ok. My son accompanies both of us, we both having disability, my wife also blind. But, we are overall very fortunate, and hopeful, and not worried about heat bills.<br /> At home we are exhausted, I went to bed with my clothes on, slept for 2 hrs 1-3, my wife asleep in the recliner. Had to cancel her appointment with oncologist for tomorrow morning, she being too exhausted. Several emails by me to cancer Navigator to reschedule, if possible.<br /> Meanwhile, I keep abreast of the Boondoggle and the UG comment, and I blah when I can, it often being #2 in priority.<br /><br /> Me a hypocrite? Yes, I suppose so. Who is not? Hypocracy is relative I think, some big time, some small. A very serious human flaw. Maybe I shold be leading the protests, and have the boondoggle #1 instead of #2 my priority? I have also blahed with presentations at the PUB, and considered blahing some more there. Perhaps this blah blah of mine is all a waste of time? Most blah not even one time, and think ignorance is bliss.<br />Winston Adams<br /> Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5235138415013046381.post-722412388541075372020-02-11T20:13:53.812-03:302020-02-11T20:13:53.812-03:30Don't be so foolish b'y... blowing your mo...Don't be so foolish b'y... blowing your money on that exotic over-priced junk. <br /><br />Don't you realize you're living in an "Energy Warehouse"? <br /><br />Why in the name of Christ would you need to blow thousand$ on a bloody old heat pump?Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5235138415013046381.post-1607457922148398482020-02-11T20:03:56.035-03:302020-02-11T20:03:56.035-03:30This comment has been removed by a blog administrator.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5235138415013046381.post-34672259096466446082020-02-11T20:00:38.069-03:302020-02-11T20:00:38.069-03:30This comment has been removed by a blog administrator.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5235138415013046381.post-43242855475221878622020-02-11T19:22:18.944-03:302020-02-11T19:22:18.944-03:30Your spelling errors are not a problem, as your me...Your spelling errors are not a problem, as your message is clear: have a good plan and act, otherwise you're not a leader,and resign.

If the economics is sound, and not on the Nlfd ratepayers back. And if details are not all behind closed doors, signed off, before the public is informed.<br /> If all worked well it could be nation building, and good policy to counter GHGs and climate heating.<br /> But, since they are most all scallywags,and elites, can we trust them? NO.<br /><br /> Trust but verify is the Russian proverb. It means show we can trust you. Prove it. <br /> So far there is little reason to trust.
