He said he was pro refinery so your statement is BS.
Why can't the NDP evolve? Why can't we look to the only other party to do things a bit differently but not expect drastic changes? I completely agree that a smart NDP would be against more oil tankers off our coast which would win them a lot of votes in the LML, but they should, could and maybe just will suggest an alternative. Scrap the 9B site C debacle that isn't needed, and take that cash and dump it into the construction of an oil refinery. Its a win win win, no tankers, jobs and pro industry.
As for the grizzly hunt, it really does sound like the NDP will kill it for the GOABC but make meat removal mandatory for residents. Im not opposed to that. Its time we dumped the fiberals if and only maybe because they have been there too long.

The NDP has talked about putting the licence and tag money toward wildlife, but nowhere have I seen them commit to the independent agency. The NDP hates independent agencies, and loves bloated unionized bureaucracies within government. My fear is our money will stay within government's clutches, result in a bloated bureaucracy, get wasted on endless "studies" to avoid offending anyone, and thus still be dictated by politics instead of wildlife science.
I expect the NDP are rubbing their hands together at the prospect of getting our millions to fund a fat bureaucracy, where they still call the shots and keep their union owners happy with more union bloat. No thanks.
Our millions...come on back to reality now would you. In the big bucket of things, our millions are mere pennies or half pennies. The liberals have committed to what now? Letting our moose populations plummet due to big industry desires, lack of funding for proper management aka surveys. Wake up man, the liberals are why we have decreased populations, decreased quota and decreased opportunity in this province. I get it that you are super anti NDP but the liberals are a joke if you are a hunter.
