In honour of Trevor Taylor’s departure from politics, here’s a link to a post on what he said is his proudest accomplishment in politics.
The fibre-optic deal may well prove to be the railway branch lines of the information superhighway. It was also one of the finest examples of a government that can’t seem to figure out what it is doing or why it is doing it but it does know the public shouldn’t get any concrete information.
Just remember: Trevor picked this as his own political monument.

I do not understand your criticism of Mr. Taylor.
Giving away public money to one's friends in the cable business is the hallmark of a great politician.
Truly great politicians give public money to other businesses as well
that aint a Datsun it's a Subaru
The greatest politicans of all get a lot of that money back.
And 1737, that very same excuse/myth/canard has been used to justify every give-away of public money since the first white people landed in Newfoundland.
Amazing how the old excuses come back so quickly for people who were supposed to represent a new approach.
Trevor Taylor’s a good guy. say what you want about The fibre-optic deal, but it's still a great infastructure for the province. Yes he backed the program as a part of a good news deal.
Roger Grimes wanted to bulk export water...and sure now we narley have a cup to drink
We know little of the costing of the project since it was kept secret from us all.
We know the lines are being strung to some communities which are rapidly depopulating.
We know it is strung above ground on poles and susceptible to weather.
We know that some communites where there are people have been skipped out must pay their own costs to be connected.
And yet you can call it a great infrastructure project.
Spoken like someone involved in it or one of the fan Club.
And to seal the deal you bring up a private sector proposal to export water from one lake, which invovled no government money and then claim we now have no fresh water in the priovince?
I correct myself. You aren't merely a Danny Fanny. You are a buffoon.
lol
