Oof. // @VOCMBen to @FureyAndrew: "Are you confident your federal counterparts will come to the table (on oil sector support)?" // Premier Furey: "Well that's a question that's best addressed to them." ...It's really not. #nlpoli
If the point was: federal support is up to the feds, then should say that. But that's even no indication of what is being done or said between prov and feds. This shouldn't be a nail biter/big reveal here. Where does it stand?? When do you expect an update? Throne speech? What?
I'm not advocating for new support or no support, but this 'will we, won't we' is enough to... well, tweet about. / But I'm posting before coffee, so we'll see how that goes for me.

I've just, again, been sent a job posting for a government communications job. And after some debate over the risk of possibly affecting prospects, decided I'd share a point on this, to help maybe explain the common move from journalism to comms in Canadian media. (1/12)
For starters, any journalist in NL securing a full-time position in journalism is in an increasingly rare position. Traditional outlets are shrinking, startups are rare (think one hand) and often financially unstable. Freelancers are challenged to make ends meet. (2/12)
But even the lucky people with stable, full-time journalism jobs can operate on $50,000/yr salaries while being told by people they approach for interviews, or don't, that they're effectively unprincipled trash who are working for employers with no value or future. (3/12)

"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.

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…
newyorker.com/news/news-desk…
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 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
