Muzzling Those in the Know
Despite constant indications and reminders that a province with an state-directed economy, one over-burdened by out-of-control government expenditures, is not likely to be a stellar economic performer, the provincial government continued its quest to extend its hegemony. Continue reading
Naming – ‘bread and circuses’
Unfortunately, the main ‘plebiscite’, on the continuation of the government, is still some time off. In the interim, and unfortunately, despite evident economic woes, the government chooses ‘bread and circuses’ – and calls a vote on trees and fish. Continue reading

Re-thinking Indian status?
A flood of applications for Indian Status in Newfoundland should lead policy makers to re-think how they define membership criteria. In particular, the definition should be as limited as possible and ensure it only includes genuine members. Continue reading
