What is the future of this province if after 500 years of settlement and 65 years of union with Canada this is what we have to show for it? Right now we look like a fledgling democracy trying to cast off the vestiges of kleptocractic politics, not like anything in the Western world. Please, somebody with power and influence get an injunction of some sort and stop Coleman, and Muskrat Falls, and all of the other nonsense that is lining the pockets of this province's elite and improverishing future generations beyond our darkest imagination. I have children in university trying to make decisions about the future, what do i tell them? This whole system has more in common with eastern Europe than the Newfoundland of 1933, is that where we want go? of course not.<br /><br />john.

Coleman is up to his eyeballs in it and Mcgrath is willing to put his name and reputation on the line for this incoming crook! There's got to be something in it for him too. If not, he's a bigger fool than he looks! This party is so desperate to cling on to power, they will go to any lengths to do it! Next election. ....Please. ....save them from themselves, and not just from us!

This also raises a troubling question - how is it that the Minister of Transportation either doesn't know enough about bonds, or chose not to find out if Coleman was still liable for the bonds when he runs the department that probably spends the most in bonded contracts? Shouldn't he know how bonds work? He's either incredibly incompetent, or incredibly naive - and in either case does he really deserve to be a minister of the crown? If he's not incompetent or naive that means he lied about not knowing, and I don't have to draw you a picture of what that means, do I?Lynnnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5235138415013046381.post-9720137862134201372014-05-26T14:52:40.478-02:302014-05-26T14:52:40.478-02:30Mr. Sullivan.

Hard hitting but excellent commentary, as usual. <br /><br />I can't help but relate all of this….the lack of total disclosure, the implications of this action to the benefit of Mr. Coleman and his family/friends….to the way that the current Tories have obfuscated and twisted their arguments in support of Muskrat Falls in on themselves. Yet, the general populace…and other political parties….seem to have resigned themselves to pushing it on to completion…no matter what it costs. This is sheer madness, Mr. Sullivan, and it is not yet too late to change course. Not an easy decision, to be sure, and it will be a costly lesson…but the alternative is far worse, in my opinion.<br /><br />Where are the people of the province....that they allow themselves to acquiesce so easily to this skulduggery?Cyril Rogersnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5235138415013046381.post-52993708508252230082014-05-26T13:09:28.657-02:302014-05-26T13:09:28.657-02:30Given that the auditor general was appointed by th...Given that the auditor general was appointed by this government I expect he will find nothing wrong. Yes, that is cynicism in the extreme but I have seen nothing that leads me to believe that the political system of this province is NOT stacked towards lining the pockets of the political, finacial, and professional elite. I happliy await to be proven wrong.<br /><br />John D PippyAnonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03044966985727657714noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5235138415013046381.post-82790308419906569182014-05-26T12:25:22.404-02:302014-05-26T12:25:22.404-02:30This is incredibly damning.

I expect the auditor general to blow this wide open.<br /><br />If Frank Coleman did give a personal guarantee too get the bonds and they are within the scope of the Auditor Generals review then he and McGrath are done in my mind.<br /><br />This stinks.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5235138415013046381.post-10641819915022832992014-05-26T09:29:05.367-02:302014-05-26T09:29:05.367-02:30The more we learn about this matter, the more it a...The more we learn about this matter, the more it appears to be a blatant example of just how out of touch this government is with residents of this province. For anyone to think or suggest that Frank Coleman did not have direct involvement in this entire affair or didn't benefit in some way, has their head so deep within the sand you can barely see their toes. <br /><br />As for who knew about this matter and who played a part in letting Frank Coleman's company off the hook, well I don't think you have to be very astute to add the numbers up. First of all you have a party that has been doing very poorly in the political poles, they just turfed the previous premier, they are in hot water with the entire Nalcor issue, they have members crossing the floor and they know full well that any decision that affects their star candidate for premier had to have the full endorsement of PC leadership. To even hint that McGrath acted independently is an insult to everyone's intelligence. <br /><br />Perhaps they think the recent announcement to turf Ross Reid along with numerous other members of the backroom staff is going to make things look good, as in we are making big changes. Then again, perhaps Ross Reid and other can't take the smell in the room at the top floor of confederation bldg. and they too want to distance themselves from this crew of drunken sailors who are running the province.

Anything less is not acceptable. <br /><br />The issue is that the PC's and the business elite in this province, believe that this is how the system should work. <br /><br />We need to understand if the Minister over-ruled the recommendation of his staff. <br />Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
