Well, it
seems Mr. Kennedy did not go silently; he seems to have ‘bitten his tongue’ as he left
Confederation Building. His name still
resounds within the halls of high office.
As his vehicle left the parking lot, very senior people acknowledged, to
each other, that he ought to have explained himself differently than he had.
That comment
strikes at the heart of the question: why did Mr. Kennedy resign?

Whether certain
disturbing issues weigh heavy on him, only he can answer. If the information this scribe has received, is
correct, which has been corroborated by three additional sources, Mr. Kennedy may
wish to re-consider anything he may have omitted from his exchange with the
media, justifying his departure.
What is the
issue?
It seems that Mr. Kennedy’s resignation was occasioned, less by a
desire to return to his law practice, than to deeply felt concerns over certain
financial aspects of the Muskrat Falls Project, specifically involving Nalcor. Just two years ago he sought election for a full term.
