Read Tuach's piece on vultures , then read Ed Hollett's good piece on our 40 politicians that care little for issues that matter. No one caring nor acting on serious issues.
He also mentions that the St Jojn's crowd that ran things here leading up to our bankruptcy in 1934, stated that baymen were not fit for democracy.
At the rate mitigation hearings,we have Andy Wells and Dennis Browne saying parts of rural Nfld, including those off grid on diesel power, are a drain on the overall power cost of some 70 million a year. Yet 13 billion spent to get power to the townies, needing 800 million a year to pay for that, which serves only eastern Avalon, not island residents west of the Avalon. Add to that the approximate 200 million per year cost of Holyrood fuel and operation costs for decades, alone for the Avalon. Why should people west of Sunnyside pay for this extreme cost for townies and the Avalon? Does Browne and Wells suffer from the townie syndrome, not to see that?

One might say that historically, the rest of the island was and is the life support on which the Avalon feeds:-)
Bravo Bard! A wit of clarity, as always…
