When a commodity is in low supply and the demand is lower, and yet the cost of the commodity remains high, doesn't that speak volumes as to why Big Oil came back to Premier Williams Oil table of Newfoundland and Labrador. It means that Oil is a commodity which is valuable whether or not the economy is booming. Oil, is a finite natural resource which has a short shelf life, so our Premier recognized that we had to make hay while the sun shines. Let us never repeat our past and give away our resources and remain poor in this beautiful province of Newfoundland and Labrador ever again. I hope the rest of Canada has gotten the message. We will be masters in our own house.

They believed that Newfoundlanders and Labradorians were as naive as they were in the past. But Newfoundlanders and Labradorians are more worldly and less trustful and as a result they have thrown of the yoke of naivety. Newfoundlanders and Labradorians were quite aware of of the unsavoury plaes where Big Oil Corps were operating, places such as the Stans of Central Asia, where the War Lords reign supreme, without any government standards; and dictatorial Africa where corruption is the rule of law. I doubt in such places that either signed oil contracts or the company employees have any great deal of security?<BR/><BR/>Big Oil knows how to decipher what is a good deal and what isn't, and that is the reason they came back within a 15 month period to sign on the dotted line the contract extended to them by Premier Williams. Even though the fundamentals look like there will most likely be a slowdown in the economies of the world for a while, and the oil resource won't be in as great a demand. <BR/><BR/>Big Oil bluffed and Premier Danny called Big Oil's bluff and won for the people of Newfoundland and Labrador.
