Another Tory crackerjack

Danny Bath, PC nomination contestant in some other district, has a crackerjack platform that even puts Ron Smith's to shame.

Danny Bath has just used his four minutes to proclaim — and boy, this is a novel idea — that even though he's from one particular community, if elected, he will treat all areas of his district equally.

Furthermore, he wants to address the issues, deal with them, and get the government involved.

Where have people like Danny Bath been all along?

Danny Williams, watch out! With clever whippersnappers like Danny Bath nipping at your heels, you have much to fear.

To his credit, Mr. Bath did have one intriguing idea: that power from the so-called Lower Churchill could be used to create industries and jobs — or, as one of Danny (Williams') plants is fond of saying, "economies" — in his central Newfoundland district.

What would John Hickey say to that?

Or, for that matter, Danny Williams?

"We will not develop the Lower Churchill unless the primary beneficiaries are Labradorians," Williams told a campaign stop in Goose Bay in October 2003. "You have my assurance on that."
