The following post was originally published on Sue Kelland Dyer's blog. Sue and I don't always agree on the political situation in Newfoundland and Labrador, or in Canada for that matter, but this is a case where we definately see eye to eye and I hope Web Talk readers can as well. Please visit the facebook site: Support for Burton Winters and show your support for Burton and the people of NL who depend on Search and Rescue for their lives.
Let Newfoundlanders and Labradorians (and all Canadians) Worldwide Unite for Burton
There is a movement in Newfoundland and Labrador and it involves the loss of a young man's life from Makkovik.
It is the belief of our people that this young man did not have to die on the ice - trying to get home.
On Facebook there is a Group called "The Burton Winters' Rescue Center IN Labrador".
Our people are uniting and we need the voice of EVERY Newfoundlander and Labradorian as well as support from people in all Northern and Maritime jurisdictions.
Please remember Burton as the young man who walked 19 km's on the ice - bravely to try and find his way home. Please remember Burton by joining this group and its call for action.

When signing this petition and leaving a comment, we are then asked to give a donation...what is that about. A donation for what?
ReplyDeleteI haven't seen any petition on the Burton Winters site. If there is plesae direct me to it and I'll have a look. My understanding is that the site is intended to gather support on this issue and apply pressure to those in power.
