Lorraine Michael needs to read more or get better research staff.
"I'm glad that the premier has finally shown that he believes that being part of a Canada-wide energy plan is something that he believes in. I had not heard this before."
Try 2007, for example.
Or the same story, as rendered by the Ceeb:
One topic that dominated Thursday morning's sessions was the idea to build a national energy grid that would make sure all provinces benefit fully from Canada's resources.
"We need to find a way to get those [resources] to the Canadian people," Williams said. "There is a solution here."
or this:
Newfoundland Premier Danny Williams, whose government is keen to relaunch the mothballed Lower Churchill Falls hydro mega-project to sell power to energy-hungry Ontario, said he would be open to having the federal government fund all or part of a new national electrical grid.
Heck, you can even find reference to hooking onto the grid in the 2003 Tory campaign book if you bother to go look.
All that extra cash the government caucus threw to Lorraine last winter evidently hasn’t helped to clue her in. A 30 second google search and a raft of quotes turned up all showing only that Michael is out to lunch on this energy issue.
h/t to a keen reader, DL.
