Newfie Canadian Posted September 14, 2007 Report Share Posted September 14, 2007 (edited) Williams has certainly been able to do what many Tory parties have not been able to in the last months: win.He is probably a shoe-in over the Liberals in the next provincial election. http://www.ctv.ca/servlet/ArticleNews/stor...13?hub=Politics No probably about it. There is nothing he could do now, short of joining Joey in purgatory, to lose in October. And as you so aptly put it, part of the reason is his successful politicking against the feds, a tried and true method of electoral success in every province I would wager.

Michael Bluth Posted September 14, 2007 Report Share Posted September 14, 2007 I fault him for demanding hypocritical compromises and concessions. As I fault NovaScotian and Green White and Pink for trying to make this sound like an issue of fairness. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Oh there is nothing inherently fair about the Atlantic Accord. But a deal is a deal or so the cliché goes. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Deals get renegotiated all the time. When the parties are acting in good faith at least. Why should Harper be bound by a bad deal that Paul Martin agreed to? Remember him? Good finance minister, then somethng bad happened... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It is why Harper is making no ground appealing to Newfoundlanders on the issue. They have picked a side and it is with Williams. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
