Everyone that knows me “personally” thinks that I’m a little bit differant because of my beliefs. The truth be told Patriot I would have to say that every single mainlander I know does not have a clue in regards to when their country was created. I have stated that a hundred times on your Blog. <BR/><BR/>What I wanted to discuss with you here today was a comment that was made on VOCM last night. On Mr. Cleary’s show, of course. A listener, Patriot, had done some really astounding research on the Church Hill contract. And you have brought that Point up here again to some degree. <BR/><BR/>“Ottawa’s refusal to enforce the Constitution and force Quebec into permitting the transport of Upper Churchill power across its borders”<BR/><BR/>This point Patriot, the fact that Canada did not enforce its own constitution in regards to Newfoundland and Labrador would and should constute a Legal dilemma for Canada. By not enforcing this Law to all provinces, Canada has placed itself in front of a civil lawsuit. The speaker along with Mr. Cleary also stated that “why is the Provencal government chasing the federal government over equalization payments. When we have the caliber of man, such as Premier Williams, why are we not taking the federal government to court (some court, any court) for damages done to the province brought on by Canada’s lack of enforcement to its very own laws?<BR/>Another point that both came to agree upon as well, is that “IF” we were to seek independence from Canada we would have far better chances to win if we were a separate nation again.<BR/><BR/>The more I study my culture .The more I read .the more I watch and listen to everyday ordinary Newfoundlanders and Labradoreans, the more I relies that Independence is a must, a need , a fact of survail for our culture and our heritage.<BR/><BR/>For those that say we must learn to give the Liberals a chance. We have to co-operate with Canada.<BR/><BR/>I say two words. Roger Grimes.<BR/><BR/>“Republic Of “<BR/><BR/>PS, whatever happened to that poll anyway, Ex-pat. The one done by NTV. Could someone post the results.<BR/><BR/>Thanks.Ussrhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10368238716997023662noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-11333084.post-78784085405027054132009-02-10T23:18:00.000-03:302009-02-10T23:18:00.000-03:30The more I post commentary on articles and read th...The more I post commentary on articles and read the feed back the more I'm convinced the only way we will ever get a fair deal in this phony federation is to go to the international media.<BR/><BR/>Hope springs eternal in a democracy.<BR/>Unfortunately for Newfoundland and Labrador it is eternally hopeless!<BR/><BR/>You feel you have a choice with the false gods of left and right wing parties, you feel your involved and can make a difference by marking your x.<BR/><BR/>Unfortunately for us being a minority prov NL in this parliamentary confederation with no equality voting for any of the national PROXY parties of ON/QU which represents the majority 66% it is ETERNALLY HOPELESS!<BR/><BR/>More spam but the truth never changes.<BR/><BR/>The Supreme Court of Canada basically said that the 'only' reason the off-shore could be considered to be owned by Canada is because of third-party international law. The court actually said that the status of these resources is very much in the hands of NL. They demonstrated their meaning by saying, and I paraphrase, 'not-with-standing international laws, NL brought those resources into Canada, and NL can take them back out'.<BR/><BR/>So in response to this the Atlantic Accord compromise was reached. In that deal the rest of Canada gets to suck the teat of yet more of our resources. Harper has twice unilaterally violated that compromise agreement in order to suck a little more out of NL's share.
