That'll show 'em

We are not getting enough money from Ottawa in order to be autonomous and go it alone with.

Therefore, we should separate from Canada.

Such is the logically- and financially-spurious thesis of an astonishingly large number of completely spontaneous Premier-positive comments on the airwaves and the internets these past two days.

By way of example, from the Telegram's site:

Ches from St. John's writes: If we are living in a country that see's fit to bluntly harm it's citizens for exercising their right to vote, we shouldn't cooperate with that country.

Take the MPs home, it doesn't matter what party they are.

Newfoundland will NOT be allowed to prosper as a province of Canada.

Want someone to blame? Blame your parents and grandparents who sold us out for the promise of a cheque for nothing. WHERE HAS THAT GOT US? COLONIZED BY THE COLONIZED. That's where.

Ches from Newfoundland writes: Is Danny steadily working towards NL separation and to become the new Republic's first Emperor? Wouldn't doubt it. Thought that for a while now.

I hope so, it's why I support him.

What's Canada done for you lately, Shannon?

Ches from Newfoundland writes: You people saying either we the people, or Williams, are to blame for the Canadian budget really need to give your heads a shake.

Does being Canadian mean that if a population doesn't vote for the right side then you become open for wanton abuse?

I'm not ashamed or embarrased to be a Newfoundlander, but I AM DISGUSTED THAT I HAVE TO BE A CANADIAN by virtue of the fact that I was born here.

I don't want to be a Canadian anymore.
I want to be a Newfoundlander.

Give me a shot at it Williams.

And another Ches, this one posting from Canada of all places, expressing his opinion spontaneously over at the Globe and Mail, the paper which nationalist Newfoundlanders aren't supposed to care about, let alone read:

Ches Crosbie from Canada writes: Harper has confirmed what we all know.

As long as Canada owns Newfoundland, Newfoundland wil not prosper. It will not be allowed. The warnings were given in 1947-48, and were not listened to in some corners of the country. We lost our country, and now are losing our people, our children, our resources, our future.

If we are to have hope for our children's generation we must un-shackle ourselves from this unholy alliance. It must be done while there is still something to protect.

Ches Crosbie from Canada writes: Micheal Power, if you think that nothing was coming out of Newfoundland all those years, just Canadian money going in out of the good of an Ottawa heart, you are sadly mistaken.

Newfoundland with it's 500,000 souls, has contributed FAR more to the Canadian pot than it has pulled out, since 1949.

Anyway, a PM who seems to think he is the King of Botswana has provided all the ammunition necessary to show even the most ardent Canada supporter, that Newfoundland cannot, and should not, exist as a province in Canada.

The 60 year experiment has failed, and will be concluded shortly. Just watch.

Ches Crosbie from Canada writes: Scotty Tranna, living in Toronto you must know a lot about the third world, from listening to your neighbors.

To those who think NL's choice in the last election was about Liberal MPs vs Conservative MPs, you are way out of your depth.

The last election was to show the Govt of Canada, (of course it was going to be Conservative), that we will not be represented by those who do not represent. No Taxation without Representation.

The current crop dispatched to Canada will face the same fate should they not represent those who sent them.

The best outcome would be for the current crop to be the last. At this point, Williams has more than enough arrows in his quiver to see us bring our MPs home.

It's time to start dusting off the chairs at the Colonial Building.
