It confirms that federal government will be altering the 1985 and 2005 offshore agreements if and when the Newfoundland and Labrador government adopts the new Equalization program, something they never mentioned until caught at it last week.
How many times have the federal Conservatives said there were or would be no caps on the Atlantic Accord?
Surprise.

Around Bond Papers, we've been callin' 'em Connies for a couple of years.

Trying to con people into giving them votes.
Danny Williams must be especially rotted, seeing as he threw his lot in with these guys, even though it was painfully obvious at the time what the result would be.
Danny Williams even attributed things to Harper that Harper never even said, all in an effort to get Harper a few seats.

Update: Among the others like Danny Williams smarting at the latest Harper political shaft must be the local talk show maven who sometimes calls herself Hydroqueen.
She spent a lot of time shilling for Steve Harper and his local candidates during the last federal election.
She even invented bizarre political theories to bolster her argument. Hydroqueen was wrong in the theory and, as it turns out, in the practice as well.
Maybe we need to start a special Homer Simpson gallery of people who backed Harper in 2005, lambasted any Liberal in sight on a purely partisan basis, and who today are feeling just a wee bit used.
Update Update: Yet another person who fell for the Connie job. Well, "fell" doesn't accurately describe someone who actually reworked reality in an effort to back his cause, but let's be generous.
