Gail Shea is a Paper Tiger

DFO gives up on Newfoundland and Labrador, they abandon fisheries research and waits for us to die.

When we take the reigns and decide to do it ourselves DFO minister Gail Shea says she welcomes Newfoundland and Labrador doing it's own Fisheries research providing we get her permission.  What is it called when a person does none of the work but demands to have final say?  I am not sure if DFO imagines itself to be our masters or our pimps.

It's like hiring a painter to paint your house, they prime the walls and leave, 61 years later they come back to demand a say in the colour.

All Gail Shea has to offer is a rubber stamp.

No Shrimp Worries for the Big Apple

After the ordeal with Crab everyone is saying - "Wait until we talk shrimp!" but The New York Times says there are lots of Shrimp and good pricing?!  Why are we sitting with clenched butt cheeks over the upcoming season? 

Bay Roberts Worse Place to Live in Canada?

According to MoneySense - Bay Roberts is the worse place to live in Canada?! Anyone who has overlooked the bay from their marvelous pavilion would likely differ!

Miss Newfoundland and Labrador - Courage

There are two sides to the seal hunt issue, sure, but the faceless cowards that use hateful actions and language; attacking this spirited girl, need to look inside themselves.

Through it all Miss NL has been tremendously couragous, realistic and steadfast.

UFO! No You F.O.!

Ed Hollett who calls himself a humble e-scribber appears on the NTV Pre-news as Newfoundland and Labrador's UFO expert.  Wow! I would not have guessed that UFO researcher was on his CV.  Maybe he is right, maybe the south coast UFO is just a plane.  I ran it by my own staff of experts here at NewfoundlandinCanada.  Here is what they discovered.  First off an enhancement of the original image shows three distinct lines of light and dark (a fusilage and two wings) as well as two distinct vapour trails (from the wings).  My expert Dr. Shagov concludes Mr. Hollett may be correct that this is indeed simply a commerical plane.

I had to dig further, as is my nature.  I had Dr. Shagov enhance the photo to the greatest possible enhancement (CSI would envy the talent I have here).  What she found was even more surprising than Mr. Hollett's epiphany...

Why the secrecy?  This is in fact a PeTA plane! Sent from New York for the PM's visit to St. John's.  PeTA was reluctant to give details as to the cargo but an insider informs NewfoundlandinCanada it is in fact a load of Tofu Pies and Wingnuts from New York.  The delivery obviously had to be expedited because tofu pies that are past their freshness starts to smell like puffin farts, and like the delicate orchid, wingnuts do not keep well in captivity.

So there is is, nuff said about the Harbour Mille Missle.
