It must be like a hockey team with a white shirt for home games and a dark one for away, except this one has a white shirt for both, depending on your perspective.
At home, Danny Williams is a fearless champion of Newfoundland nationalism. White shirt.
In Winnipeg, he's a fearless Canadian fighting the Newfoundland separatists. A different white shirt.
No joking.
From the Canadian Press post-throne speech coverage:
Premier Danny Williams says he's trying to quell separatist feelings within Newfoundland and Labrador, despite a throne speech that suggested the province should push for more autonomy from Ottawa."The fans of sovereignty are here. If anything, I've been trying to dampen those fires as much as I can," Williams said yesterday.
"Dampen those fires as much as I can"?
Uh huh.
Riiiiiight.
