Forget global warming, El Nino and cow flatulence.
Newfoundland and Labrador is experiencing milder than usual weather because the weather office is back in Gander.
Iintergovernmental affairs minister John Ottenheimer is quoted as saying "[w]e are committed to examining opportunities where the federal government and the province can benefit from an increase in federal jobs in Newfoundland and Labrador...", after he reminded us that the weather office thing was a Conservative party commitment during the last election.
Unfortunately, Minister Ottenheimer forgot that almost exactly one year ago, the chief Conservative party representative in Newfoundland and Labrador reminded us all that the weather office was the sum total of the commitment.
After all, as Hearn noted, federal jobs that come merely from our tax dollars aren't sustainable.
