It is going to be an uphill battle.<BR/><BR/>Considering the fact that the original Press Release which was sent out to all NL news outlets as well as all of the main Stream Media outlets MSM and it didn't get any coverage to my knowledge other than a passing mention on VOCM and one paragraph on the 11 page in the western star.<BR/><BR/>OH well nobody said it was going to be easy and anything worth while is definitely worth the effort.<BR/><BR/>Are you up for the challenge?<BR/>Call 709-722-NLFP for a good time that will help you sleep at night and die with no regrets :)<BR/><BR/>We need a few good NL'ians!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-11333084.post-7669410808798655932008-01-27T13:49:00.000-03:302008-01-27T13:49:00.000-03:30January 24, 2008 4:48 PM, I couldn't agree more wi...January 24, 2008 4:48 PM, I couldn't agree more with anyone here,Ex-pat.<BR/><BR/>Up till now we as a nation have always complained about our short coming's due to our lack of representation in the canadain house.With the creation of the NLFirst Party we now have a choice in whom we send to Ottawa .The only problem I see ,is will we have the nerve to send seven of our own to Ottawa ,or will we again cower befor canada so we can bitch and argue.<BR/><BR/>As for the anon,January 24, 2008 10:43 PM,it is thought's and word's such as this that have created the Canada we now have .As a canadain I find you an embarrassment to what I would want my Canada to be .Befor we leave ,I would at least like to say that we have gotten something for what we have given canada .I hope and prey that Newfoundland and Labradour would want to stay in our country.And,I find it appauling that a canadain would say anything like this.<BR/><BR/>The time has come for justice and accountability on both sides of the fence.Newfoundland and Labrador must be given what it has brought with it into confederation.A strong Newfoundland and Labrador,is a strong canada.<BR/><BR/>My first and only question as a canadain is "Why is one province given what it need's to thrive and protect it's culture ,but we cannot or will not do the same for those that do not have the same level of representation in our governement"<BR/><BR/>As a canadain ,I feel we should hang our heads.We all have dark Horse's.Even Canada.<BR/><BR/>And the article was very well done Myles,good for you.Calvinhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00616665700975421813noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-11333084.post-57495835321534529352008-01-25T17:50:00.000-03:302008-01-25T17:50:00.000-03:30Lies and Ass Covering is a common practice, especi...Lies and Ass Covering is a common practice, especially with the Conservative fascists.<BR/><BR/>They've been caught in so many webs of deceipt lately it's clear that they can't keep their stories straight because of all the lies.<BR/><BR/>They blame government workers for every thing that doesn't go their way and start firing them left and right.<BR/><BR/>The latest lie, about not knowing Afghan prisoners were no longer being turned over to authorities there is just another example but one that they couldn't win.<BR/><BR/>We now know they did know about it but they first tried to blame the military leadership. In other words another NLer.<BR/><BR/>This time somebody figured out that trying to blame Hillier and perhaps firing him was a no win situation.<BR/><BR/>How do you spin firing a very popular general at war time and for what reason? That he did what the government refused to do, keep prisoners from being tortured.<BR/><BR/>I guess they were smart enough to finally say they "could not deny that they knew" which is still not the same as admitting they did know and lied.<BR/><BR/>What a bunch of lying fasciestsAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-11333084.post-35200648949551940852008-01-25T02:28:00.000-03:302008-01-25T02:28:00.000-03:30Thanks Anon for reminding us that the canadian she...Thanks Anon for reminding us that the canadian sheep who blindly follow their leader and appreciate being lied to would like those of us who are not so easily led by the nose to leave.<BR/><BR/>You're not exactly an intellectual giant are you?Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-11333084.post-18675019415818062882008-01-24T22:43:00.000-03:302008-01-24T22:43:00.000-03:30better yet, why not separate and go it alone.

I'm referring to the national parties line. If any national party wants to get elected in our systemically flawed democracy they must tailor their policy and campaign literature in such a way that they buy votes in the majority provinces with the minority provinces money.<BR/><BR/>What we need is a national party that has a party line to do what's in the best interest of the majority of the members provinces of the federation even if it means losing any chance of winning due to Ontario and Quebecs overwhelming majority of 181 out of 308 seats in the HOC.<BR/><BR/>So in essence what need to happen in order for this federation to work in it's current configuration is to have a federation party comprised of 10 separate provincial parties who all have an equal say in determining a national federation parties policies. With some exceptions for specific provinces or regions which don't conform or concern the best interest of the majority of the members provinces of the federation.<BR/><BR/>You can be excused for having bought into the hopeless situation we have found ourselves in for the last 58 years because up until now with the official registration of the NLfirst party you have not had a choice. In that all of the national parties have to do what's in the best interest of the majority provinces and any MP you elect has to show solidarity with the party or get booted and toe the national party line.<BR/><BR/>Why do you think Harper's national conservative party accepted verbatim what the Ontario Chamber of Commerce recommended with regard to the O'Brien report and the equalization formula changes.<BR/>Yet rejected the recommendation to include user fees like the O'Brien report recommended because it would not be in the best interest of getting elected in the majority provinces even though he changed the formula to a per capita basis which discriminates against the minority provinces.<BR/><BR/>I always get a chuckle when I see that old anti confederation poster with the canadian black widow spider beckoning the NL black fly into it's web with the headliner. <BR/><BR/>"Welcome into my parlor"<BR/><BR/>What in fact it should have said was <BR/><BR/>"Welcome into my Parliament"<BR/><BR/>Where we will create Benedict Arnold's out of your MP's use our own people against us and cause us to eat our own.NL-ExPatriatehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15938647714308913350noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-11333084.post-18112902296727161172008-01-24T15:36:00.000-03:302008-01-24T15:36:00.000-03:30Great Article Patriot!!I'm so tired of being lied ...Great Article Patriot!!<BR/><BR/>I'm so tired of being lied to with impunity.<BR/><BR/>I'm also so sick of the mainstream media that always sugar coats those lies with terms like "flip flop" or "backtracking". They are so afraid of litigation or losing access to the political inner circles that they refuse to call it like it is, a LIE!!!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
