Newfoundland got...Hello, this is Marc from Quebec.<br /><br />Newfoundland got a bad deal on the upper Churchill, no doubt about it! NFLD was a victim to a Federal Government largely controlled by Quebecers and in hindsight they were not acting in the national interest. Unfortunately, and I know this is probably small consolation, Quebec will end up being somewhat screwed by the deal too. Hydro Quebec, by reaping so much of its profits by a lopsided deal that will end in 2041 has grown into an inneficient monster, unable to reform because it does not have to. Quebec politicians are spooked at the prospect of the Churchill deal ending which we all know it eventually will. All NFLD has to do in 2041 is turn off the witch and the powers that be in the USA will make Quebec and NFLD negotiate a deal. This time NFLD will not be negotiating with a country hick (Smallwood).<br /><br />BTW:<br />I am amazed why Newfoundland does not hold a referendum on separation, I bet you would vote to go.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-11333084.post-1560198854183931052010-08-17T19:57:40.242-02:302010-08-17T19:57:40.242-02:30Quebec is acting as if it is a country rather than...Quebec is acting as if it is a country rather than a province withing the country of Canada.

Quebec doesn't need to build an undersea cable to Nova Scotia, they can access it through New Brunswick.<br /><br />As for Quebec wanting to screw NL, of course they do. They won't provide any access to allow NL to move power through Quebec and now they are trying to block the only other route for that power to reach market.<br /><br />The constitution of Canada clearly states that no province shall block trade of another and electricity is specifically identied there. Unfortunately the feds won't enforce their own constitution.<br /><br />You can call what is being requested a subsidy or not, depends on the point of view but when doing so don't forget all the money that flows into Quebec for supporting companies like Bombardier and Forestry industries. Don't forget all the other money Quebec and other provinces recieve for a myriad of reasons. They can all be considered subsidies.<br /><br />This is a blatant attempt by Quebec to block the Lower Churchill development so they can retain their stranglehold on NL's power resources and force another catastrophic contract similar to the upper churchill.Randynoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-11333084.post-65451009278122266002010-08-12T15:22:12.405-02:302010-08-12T15:22:12.405-02:30I don't think Nova Scotians (or Americans) sho...I don't think Nova Scotians (or Americans) should have their power subsidized by the Canadian federal government.<br /><br />If Quebec were really out to screw Newfoundland, they would build their own underwater cable to Nova Scotia.Altavistagooglehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09301901043837306524noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-11333084.post-33535377840178002292010-08-12T14:55:39.431-02:302010-08-12T14:55:39.431-02:30Typical, they screwes us on the upper churchill an...Typical, they screwes us on the upper churchill and now they want to hold us hostage on the lower.
