Yesterday. Also worth noting this could have been formal, in depth public discussion already here if ATIPPA review start hadn't been pushed. #nlpoli latimes.com/politics/story…
Worth noting Haggie's not disclosed the name of the local company that'd be involved, that seems to be in the process (?)/ already contracted (?) without a public tender or any info on what exactly has been requested of them.

"There will be clear mention of it (NL oil and gas industry) as early as tomorrow." - @SeamusORegan on @CBCNL radio, just now
The Atlantic Loop is sending Lower Churchill power through Que to NB. Itd be really great if someone actually told the public what's involved/stage of agreements. Premiers, ministers talking behind the scenes. Are we about to get a giveaway of power thanks to MFalls overruns?
Listening to Premier Furey. Before all this goes too far, the concept of "green battery" for the region, exporting power is NOT NEW. It's exactly the PC's "energy warehouse" concept. The issue is always PRICE, VALUE to NL. Partisan blaming on MFalls easy cover for a giveaway.

There is a significant difference between the provision of advice and decision making powers. I think we should always be clear on who has the power to actually make a particular decision/is expected to make the decision for those empowered, regardless of what the issue is.
Setting that aside, if politicians only say announcement is coming it can be-- Not always, but can be-- because officials need to contact reps of people most affected to settle initial details and assure they're not left stranded as decision's enacted/get start on next steps.
Apart from that, people have the right to feel however they're feeling. They have the right to question decisions on here, as much as any reporter at a press conference.

Warning- thread here. From someone who is not an expert, but trying to start a bit of different discussion on funding at Memorial University. Only because I'm a bit lost on some of the more recent letters/posts-- and absolutely no disrespect meant.
So my main thing right now is trying to understand HOW people believe the university should be funded/supported further, in the context of already recognized financial concerns. No one likes cuts or caps etc etc but I think where the money comes from is the issue.
I think MUN community understands difficulty in prov finances right now and worry around Muskrat Falls financing, etc, intertwined with sig challenges in prov economy from demos, changing economy etc. -bottom line- if more prov $ to MUN, what's possible and what's fair?

Every member of House should have to sign some kind of acknowledgement they've read this before the next sitting (Theyre back March 2). #nlpoli
Labrador customers, isolated island customers should be aware this report casts doubt on any promised protections from Muskrat associated rate hikes and asks for evaluation of the long-established govt policy on their rates
Rural island customers should be aware this report draws into question longstanding protections for you, given it calls for a review of the policy o (within the main, interconnected rate) rural customers not having to cover the cost of their service and other ratepayers covering

It appears the province isn't posting the CO reports referred to here (feel free to mute what follows): theindependent.ca/2020/01/11/a-g…
What's posted online says the files are too large to post, and can be requested through the ATIPPA office. But let's be honest, most people aren't going to make that request. At least if they're online, there's a chance they get read, seen. I'd like the province to find a way...
In the meantime, I may have to sleep eventually, but let's get started. I'm going to post some reports here. I want people to see some of what I've read. ***CONTENT WARNING***- #InsideHMP

Not sure best way to get @Mount_Pearl crews today, but -first off- you do very good work. Unfortunately, two days in a row now I've been out shoveling only to find big piece of curb. The first time I pulled my back a bit, but fool me once- I spotted it this time. ImageImage
My fadder's picking me up since I can't move it to get my car out. But if Santa's not kicked back with a well deserved glass yet, it's be a great holiday gift to get it removed, since I can't move it myself. (A neighbour took away the last piece for me, just fyi.) I'm on Ash Pl.
I should add the city's been replacing curb on this street, just hadn't reached my house and beyond yet. So this is probably part of the old curb
