Williams issues ultimatum to AbitibiBowater over severance

"Newfoundland and Labrador's premier issued a new ultimatum Thursday to Abitibi-Bowater, saying his government won't compensate the company for the assets it expropriated last year unless it makes severance payments to its Grand Falls-Windsor workers."

Hahaha, hahaha, hahahaha: Moron! Danny, I thought you were a lawyer?

Remember the ABC campaign? Buddy Face!? Whatshisname up along? Yes, yes Harper! well he had a rope that he held in his right hand, and at the end of that rope, Newfoundland and Labrador was hog tied where it has been since 1949. We were being sheepishly, but protectively towed along with, but at the arse end of, Canada.

We were making slow progress, but Danny got greedy too fast, and Stephen said.... Wait now! who transfers what to who? The answer was obvious, Ottawa didn't, don't and won't need Newfoundland and Labrador! So what did Steve do? He dropped the rope, he set Newfoundland and Labrador adrift.

I suppose the result gave Newfoundland and Labrador the right to boast of two political Guinness Book Records. First with Rideout beng the shortest lived Premier, and the shortest lived "have" status.

Let us be honest, like the young folk say, by keeping it real. Anyone who can fire up an electric power tool, swing a hammer, square up a wall plate, run plumbing, electrical wires, pour concrete, operate heavy equipment, install floors, doors and windows are working everywhere in Canada but Newfoundland and Labrador.

Steve has it made, Newfoundland and Labrador in a crunch, while he lands an income tax wind fall off the backs of Newfoundlanders and Labradoreans working off of the island. Nothing magic here, no big feat, but with it, he is able to tell Danny to "kiss his ass".

This is all relative in the Grand Falls scenario, Williams can talk the talk, but I am sure he can't walk the walk on this one.
