On agendas

Agendae?

An interesting bit of intelligence from Lloyd, posting to the ever-informative cartwrightlab.ca message board:

I just heard Dan Williams, the Premier of Newfoundland on VOCM news. He was saying that Combined Councils of Labrador President Stanley Oliver was taking the position that he is (Stan is objecting to Labrador being ripped off) because he is supposedly pushing a LIBERAL agenda. Leave it to Williams - if you don't agree with him you have to be a Liberal or some such thing that he can attack - instead of responding to the actual criticism. He can't seem to undertand that people might disagree with him. We can, because after all - he's just a man.

Well Mr. Premier I disagree with this energy rip-off too, and I can tell you I have no Liberal agenda, nor membership and not currently active in any party.

...

[Emphasis added.]

It's interesting to note that "Dan" had no such concerns about a partisan agenda when the head of another municipal umbrella group put out its position on Our Dear Energy Plan.

Of course, that position was supportive. And issued by a failed PC nomination candidate in Port au Port:

Seven candidates for the PC nomination in Port au Port

Progressive Conservative Party Leader Danny Williams and Party President John Babb announced at the close of nomination for the upcoming by-election in the district of Port au Port, there are seven candidates:

• Lorne Barbour


• Tony Cornect


• Christina Kendall


• Wayne Lee


• Danny McCann


• Wayne Ruth


• Wayne Wheeler

It's OK to have a partisan agenda.

As long as it's Our Dear Partisan Agenda.
