There are strange things done ‘neath the midnight sun but nothing quite as curious as the goings on the campaign trail in Terra Nova district last week.
Liberal leader Yvonne Jones apparently found that Tory leader Danny Williams was showing up at places where she had booked meetings or scheduled visits but always about an hour in advance.
Maybe he was there to dispense a little wisdom. Maybe he was campaigning in the time-honoured tradition of Newfoundland politicians.
Anyway, Williams and his entourage were gone by the time Jones showed up.
In one case – as it goes in versions have arrived at the doorstep of your humble e-scribbler - Jones had scheduled a private meeting with one business in the district.
The operators of the business were surprised to find Williams on their doorstep an hour before the meeting proudly announcing he was there and ready to meet.
No one was expecting him – apparently - since there’d been no contact about his arrival or having a meeting with him.
Maybe Danny should try the same approach with Hydro Quebec.
