The agenda again

One day, four fights to pick with "Canada".

First, despite finally acquiescing to the law, common sense, and something similar to, but not exactly quite, human decency, Chairman Dan agrees that Max Ruelokke is, and has been, Chairman of the CNLOPB. But that doesn't stop a few, last-minute, embittered swipes at "Canada" for, oh, let's see, following the letter and spirit of the Atlantic Accord.

Second, Chairman sics the collection agencies on "Canada". (Questions: why is it taking so long? And is this situation any different than any other claims made under the federal disaster plan? And why does the Ceeb story not quote a federal official?)

Third, province seeks something. (It's fun, as well, to see Chairman Dan's Minister's media spokesperson citing, in the last paragraph, the Voisey's Bay agreement that Chairman Dan said had holes big enough to sail a battleship through. Holes that would be revealed after Chairman Dan, Great Lawyer, got the keys to the filing cabinets. Three years later, where are the holes?)

Finally, Chairman again graced the airwaves up in Canada this evening with an appearance on Don Newman's Politics, making the case for fallow field legislation. Chairman, and Great Lawyer, made a highly unusual analogy, though, comparing the situation to the cable license he obtained, with his Great Businessman hat on, lo these three decades ago.

Chairman said that if he had just sat on that license and done nothing with it, either the federal or provincial government would have taken it away.

As any Great Lawyer, who had paid attention and obtained good marks in Constitutional, would know, and as any Great Businessman, involved in the cable TV industry, would know, broadcasting is under exclusive federal, not provincial, jurisdiction.

But that's a digression.

Why, one must ask again, why is Danny Williams so keen to pick so many fights with the federal government?

What is his agenda?

What is his real agenda?
