Bloc NDP leader Nycole Turmel is supposed to be in St. John’s on Wednesday for the annual regatta.
Local Dippers will be out in force. As local president Dale Kirby tweeted on Tuesday:
Will be at Royal St. John's Regatta tomorrow with Interim #NDP leader Nycole Turmel, @lorrainemichael, our MPs, & #NLNDPcandidates #nlpoli
Members of parliament will include Ryan Cleary. Mainland readers of these e-scribbles and those following the Bloc NDP leader will find that an interesting photo op.
Maybe Cleary can offer his new leader some tips on how to answer questions about supporting separatism.
Or maybe the pair have more in common than either of them care to admit.
Anyway, they both have some explaining to do.
And if that doesn’t work, ask Turmel and local party leader Lorraine Michael to discuss the merits of a loan guarantee for Muskrat Falls.
Michael supports the plan to double the public debt and saddle local taxpayers with skyrocketing electricity prices.
Michael just doesn’t seem to want to answer any questions about why she thinks that’s a good idea, though
