You remember that one from last year.
Around these parts, your humble e-scribbler called it the Matshishkapeu Accord since it seemed a bit like something cooked up by the Fart Man.
Then in the winter, the world learned the deal was completely off the rails.
By July, like Generalissimo Francisco Franco, the deal was still dead but Innu leader Peter Penashue hoped to bring it back to life in the fall.
Now in the fall, Peter’s not returning Rob Antle’s phone calls and the Premier’s office is saying naught either.
Not good.
Not good at all, since this is one of the key deals that have to be closed in order give the Lower Churchill hydro megaproject any hope of flying.
At least there’s a consistent silence on this one where both parties don’t want to talk. On the Rhode Island memorandum of understanding, natural resources minister Kathy Dunderdale said one thing. The Rhode Island governor’s office said something completely different.
