This is a critical moment in our province’s history. We’re facing a tremendous opportunity: We can step up and show how strong we are or we can be dictated to by Ottawa and Quebec – and sell out the future prosperity of our children and grandchildren.
MOU and MOU2 are complicated, we’re told. There’re difficult for mere mortals to understand, we’re told. I agree.
That’s why I sought out honest, smart Newfoundlanders to follow and work with. They don’t have agendas to benefit themselves. They have the expertise to analyze this stuff.
In creating these ads, I’ve studied their posts, their submissions, their articles, anything they produce. It’s outstanding work. It paints a sad and scary story of how we’re being manipulated and financially exploited.
These bite-size messages are based on the extensive volunteer work of these committed NL patriots. In hours of conversations and meetings over the past year, they’ve taught me the ins and outs, the good and the bad, of all things Churchill Falls. They’ve guided me to help ensure the points are accurate. They’ve been ready with an editing pen when needed. These ads are not mine alone as the logo acknowledges: “Citizens for a Fair Churchill Falls Deal”.
As for me, born and raised in St. John’s and a lawyer by education, my studies and career have taken me coast to coast to coast. While I’ve been living away, I maintain a strong connection with and love of NL. In recent years I return “home” regularly to play with the Newfoundland Symphony.
Thank you for reading these ads. I hope anyone who sees them gains a better understanding of MOU and MOU2.
