Dannyality

There's reality.

There's Wikiality.

There's Dannyality.

As discussed before, Our Dear Premier has willingly donned a pair of blue-rose coloured glasses, mentioning at a campaign stop last month the

dozens and dozens of people who are saying that either they’re back, or their families are coming back, or their families are about to come back. There seems to be a change in attitude, and I think, you know, that Hebron made a difference. It was kind of a reversal of what, I guess, Newfoundlanders and Labradorians felt was a negative trend that they had to go outside the province to work. But now I think they are feeling very good about the province, they see hope, they see security.
You know: reality check. The sort of thing the media used to do in the good old days. Like in 2006.

According to the latest statistics, the working-age population of Newfoundland and Labrador declined by 3900 people between September 2006 and September 2007. The labour force declined by 2900. The number of people employed (full- or part-time) declined by 1400. The decrease in the September to September unemployment rate is due to the larger, and continuing, decrease in the labour force.
