Das Abkommen von Churchill Falls könnte durch die Wahlen in Quebec gefährdet werden, sagt der Minister

There is absolutely no rhyme or reason for Quebec to keep the current deal with Newfoundland. Quebec could likely get a better deal for themselves or straight up keep the current very beneficial deal in place. Wakeham needs to wake up to that reality and fast. If he doesn’t act swiftly NLers could very well be stuck holding the bag once again after finally getting a better deal than we’ve ever had before.

The referendum that he’s suggesting won’t happen before April and likely won’t happen until the early summer by current estimations. That will not leave enough time for them to then work for a better deal if the NL people decides that’s what they want to try for. He’s actually trying to do right by the people – first NL conservative government to do so – but this is not the right way to go about it since it’s very likely to leave NL holding the bag once again. Which will once again be because of a Conservative provincial government screwing NLers over from hydro capabilities.

1st with Smallwood in ‘69 and then with Williams and Dunderdale in the late ‘00s and early ‘10s. Wakeham might ultimately end being the 3rd to ultimately screw Newfoundlander’s over on hydro electricity.
