The eloquence!

From the proceedings of the Bow-Wow Parliament on Wednesday:
MR. DENINE: Again, I say Newfoundland and Labrador needs to be treated equally. We need to have the equal thing, and I think if they only look at the definition that I talked about in the beginning of my speech, the difference between Atlantic and Maritime, that is the problem. Canada does not stop at Halifax. Look at things.

Now, Prime Minister Harper said: we cannot just go willy-nilly and give out a job here, a job there, a job there. Look at a resource. Look at a whole picture. What can we put here in Newfoundland and Labrador? Well, Mr. Speaker, there is a heck of a lot you can put here in Newfoundland and Labrador. Look at our natural resources. Why not open a big, huge facility and move all the Department of Natural Resources here? Armed forces. We are the closest link to Europe, a very strategic location in the world, global issues, global geography. Why not move that down? We are in the offshore oil business, significantly, why not move something down here from that? The fisheries – my God, we are surrounded by water, at least the Island portion is.
Look at things! The disjointed thing! Sentence fragments!

Curious that he can manage this observation in making an argument about trying to suck more pork and transfers out of the federal taxpayer but he can't seem to make the connection between this geographic fact and...oooh...say....massive trade talks in Europe.
