What would Beaton do?

If you can’t build ‘em a greenhouse, then the next best thing for a government bereft of any ideas is create some government jobs handing out government cheques.

"Our government is committed to creating jobs in all regions of the province," said the Honourable Susan Sullivan, MHA for Grand Falls-Windsor-Buchans. "The establishment of this new office in Central Newfoundland further emphasizes the commitment that has been made to support the residents living in this region."

The new office in Grand Falls-Windsor will employ 25 people sending cheques to people who are helping to save the race from extinction.  The office workers will also hand out money to help people pay their home heating bills.

The whole thing sounds awfully familiar.

Frighteningly familiar.

Tom Hedderson, Time Lord

Ever the eagle eye, labradore has noted that Tom Hedderson is the latest provincial cabinet minister to have problems with time.

Tom Rideout thought tomorrow was a day months in the future.

Tom Marshall thinks that half a day of cursory mentions of a bill in the legislature in 2007  is widely debating something.

Now Tom Hedderson’s make-work project for fishermen announced just within the past few days has an application deadline last July:

  

And Tom issued a news release just yesterday claiming this was the best make work project in the province’s history.

Sure.

It could be.

If people can travel backwards in time to get the application in.

You just cannot make this stuff up.
