REAL LEADERSHIP OR JUST FANCY SLOGANS?

:-)
After I posted my last article “Dunderdale Deserves A Mulligan” to my blog, it dawned on me that whenever there is super good news, Danny Williams is front and center, taking all the credit for whatever the good news item is.

However, when it is something that is not going to go over well when the true facts or consequences come out and may make Williams look “Stunned As Yer Arse”, he makes Kathy Dunderdale or Kevin O'Brien or Jerome Kennedy or someone else stand and deliver.

The deal between Lott/Motion Invest and the government was one such scene. Poor Kathy, looking stressed to the max, stood and tried to tell the people of this province that a buyer was in the works, yet no price for the Mill in GFW was ever mentioned.

We know that this government talks numbers, percentages, and anything else financial to make themselves look like they are taking care of our “Tax Dollars”.

It’s time Danny Williams stood and told us the real price of the Mill, or is Kathy Dunderdale going to do that too?

If we are giving it away for $1 (as Abitibi paid for Stephenville), we need to know why. We have spent (or are being sued for) Millions of dollars already and we need to get that money back. That was the reasoning behind the Expropriation, to have assets to SELL.

Danny Williams talks a good talk and has fooled nearly everyone in the province. Slogans like “Polluter Pays” and “No More Giveaways” have made Newfoundland and Labrador feel like we finally have a “Real Leader At The Elm”.

Real leaders give ALL of the news, not just the good and leave the bad to his flunkies.

Danny Williams is giving away “Safety Requirements” for Chevron profits, making Taxpayers “Pay for Polluters” with Abitibi cleanups, and now he is “Giving Away” the Mill in Grand Falls-Windsor plus $52 Million in Taxpayer dollars.

Fancy slogans are just window dressing, obeying those slogans makes a Real Leader!
