Tidbits

"Hydro-Quebec's 2007 profit would be a whopping 75 per cent lower if it had to pay market prices for low-cost power it got from the Churchill Falls..." - From a 2009 assessment of the utility commissioned by the Montreal Economic Institute

My how attitudes change. The ultra right wing Fraser Institute is saying today that when it comes good investment climates NL is the Fourth best in Canada behind Alberta, Saskatchewan, and B.C. and is the only province (other than the top 3) to earn a score of more than 5 out of 10 in their ratings. - Remember, this is the same group that screamed from the rooftops not so long ago that NL's demands for more royalties from Big Oil was going to drive investment away. Go figure.

"I see the Canadian federation is really working well these days. Canada's Nov. unemployment rate is at 8.5% with two so called "have not" provinces: Ontario (9.3%) and Quebec (8.1%) having half the rate of unemployed as NL (a so called "have" province) at 15.9%" - Myles Higgins, Web Talk

Web Talk - Summer Break

With summer upon us and as "sun rays crown thy pine clad hills" it's time for Web Talk to take a short hiatus.

I hope those of you fortunate enough to be living in Newfoundland and Labrador will take the time (as I will) to get out and enjoy this beautiful part of the world. Those living elsewhere, please stop by for a visit to refresh your senses.

Web talk will be back later in the summer but in the mean time please feel free to stop by anytime and enjoy some of the past articles you may have missed.

Cheers for now,
Patriot
