More on the bulls***

As an astute reader and likely future Queen's Counsel pointed out via e-mail, both the 1985 and 2005 offshore agreements contain clauses that say a pretty simple thing.

If any province gets a better deal on resources or payments covered by the agreements, the Newfoundland and Labrador gets it too.

If Ottawa cuts a new deal with Nova Scotia related to its offshore Accords, then odds are pretty good the same deals would apply here.

It's an interesting idea and if it is correct just gives even more evidence as to why the current racket is purely for the cameras. Steve and Danny appearing to fight while each actually helps out the other.

Not a conspiracy but just hysterically funny if either side was trying to do damage to the other and instead wound up being his best friend.
