There are lots of financial services company provide the business loans to the client that meets their business requirements.<br /><a href="http://selectivefinancialservices.com/" rel="nofollow">Selective Financial Services</a>Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01951271743006071996noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5235138415013046381.post-58810981392254588572014-03-27T14:22:28.471-02:302014-03-27T14:22:28.471-02:30The great and shameful irony in Muskrat Falls is t...The great and shameful irony in Muskrat Falls is that it is being advanced by a Tory government that, despite a glorious opportunity to advance transparency and integrity in review, is acting more clandestinely Smallwoodian than Smallwood himself. <br /><br />If democracy has one great fault, it is that individuals are elected and appointed to positions of significant power and are granted the legal capacity to develop and implement policies for which they have little or no expertise. Some elected officials recognize their limitations and seek out expertise, while others--convinced and driven by their own hubris--forge ahead alone. The result is disasters that financially leverage countless generations. Sadly, without appropriate oversight, Muskrat Falls appears destined to financially hobble the province once again and this troubles me greatly. <br /><br /><br /><br /><br />Paul Brownnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5235138415013046381.post-22164700121076650332014-03-26T22:45:38.496-02:302014-03-26T22:45:38.496-02:30This oversight committee is but one more flagrant ...This oversight committee is but one more flagrant attempt by a secretive and dishonest government to make themselves smell a little better. They are only fooling themselves while continuing to try to fool the people of NL. It is a shameful and power-drunk decision by a government that is devoid of basic principles of good governance. They are not worthy of any support in 2015….. given their outright incompetence in managing the oil revenues collected since 2005….. and their deceitful efforts to obscure the real reasons for this monstrous financial debacle called Muskrat Falls.<br /><br />Everything they do from here on in will only drive the financial nail deeper into the mountain of debt now gathering and one that will become an even more insurmountable financial mountain of debt. It will grow each year as they throw away the province's revenues on a tiny dam with a colossal debt.<br /><br />It is even more disheartening to see every politician in the province capitulating to the insidious idea that it cannot be stopped. Yes….it can be stopped even now….but will go ahead because the Opposition have given up the fight…and so have many of the people of the province. Stopping it would cost billions but forging ahead will cost untold billions. History will judge us and them for the complacency we have shown.Cyril Rogersnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5235138415013046381.post-86937059994227860592014-03-26T12:33:03.840-02:302014-03-26T12:33:03.840-02:30The issue of oversight on Muskrat Falls is blown o...The issue of oversight on Muskrat Falls is blown out of porportion. It is too late. There is no backing out on this decision. The dam will be built. <br /><br />What it is not too late for is judgement on the decisions made by Nalcor and this government. <br /><br />To help the population reach a evidence based decision we need to understand what will this project cost. Release the schedule performance. Release the updated cost estimes. Released the earned value calculations. Give the public the information to the public, and let those who are paying for this project decided if it was worthwhile. <br /><br />Despite Ed Martin telling the people of the province that updated cost estimates would be provided Q1/Q2 of 2014, they now will not be released until July at the earliest. After the PC leadership convention. <br /><br />Which is unfortunate. The wake of Muskrat Falls will be the biggest politicial issue for the new premier. I for one would like the PC leaders to debate the project, with all the facts in the public domain. <br /><br />These delays are unacceptable, and purely political. It is Bull Shit, and there should be riots in the streets. <br /><br />Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
