You’re welcome

“The argument was made, quite rightly, by people that you don’t want to create an eyesore in…one of our best tourism attractions in the province.”

Premier Danny Williams, Energy Council of Canada conference, St. John’s September 2009

Quite rightly, indeed.

Not sure you were the only one to make the argument, though, my friend... ;)

No Dave, I wasn't and would never claim to be.

I was one of the first to notice it and to make it public, although I think Wally Maclean beat me slightly in going public.

There was a huge public outcry which the provincial government ignored for months and months.

It's just not every day that Danny Williams has to such back his counter-spinning negativity crap in such an obvious way.

You know, I always thought it was just a stunt to keep the project in the national spotlight.

But I have to agree with you previous post - looks like this was a fail on his part. Good on him for publicly changing his stance.

You mean Danny Williams let the rocks fall out of head regarding Gros Morne and let some thought flow through?
