Its a prime opportunity alright. One of them should be a more stable link to the rest of Canada. The Ferry service sucks and is getting worse by the year. I think its time the Government welcomed us into Canada by getting us geographically connected. Afterall, its been over 50 years.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-11333084.post-1115060949022136592005-05-02T16:39:00.000-02:302005-05-02T16:39:00.000-02:30The devil you know is better than the devil you do...The devil you know is better than the devil you don't. I agree with letting the Liberals stay in office until after the sponsorship enquiry is completed.

The House is open again today and it should be an interesting week.<BR/><BR/>I can tell you one thing, I wouldn't want to be in Lloyla Hearn's or Norm Doyle's shoes right now. If it comes down to a non-confidence vote on the budget bill they will have a pretty tough choice to make. Either vote against their own party's motion and leave the Liberals in office (the vote is going to be close enough that even those two could change the outcome) or vote with their party and kill the Atlantic Accord deal.<BR/><BR/>Can you say "Rock and Hard Place"?Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
