1/ @TimHoustonNS is calling a press conference to criticize "the lack of preparation demonstrated by Premier McNeil on the Northern Pulp file." Normally, I would just write this off as politics as normal, HOWEVER...
@TimHoustonNS 2/ It's hard to disagree. The premier and his staff have had FIVE YEARS to game this out: what do we do if Northern Pulp does x, y, or z? What do we do if the Environmental Assessments are a, b, or c? How could they not have prepared for *any* eventuality? On the other hand...
@TimHoustonNS 3/ Acting as if the current situation comes as a complete surprise necessitating delay seems like a purposeful strategy.
