Stop your more-for-me-please rants

Our Dear Premier has lined up a third blamee, in the form of the Innu Nation (along with Quebec and Kianada), for the impending collapse of his Potemkin-village so-called Lower Churchill so-called project:

Williams said Penashue's demand could scuttle a deal to proceed with the Lower Churchill.

"If, in fact, a deal on Lower Churchill development is contingent upon redress, then that may be a condition that we just cannot fulfil. Therefore it will be off the table," he said.

"We've got a lot of projects on the go, a lot of important things to do, but we need to know whether the Innu are serious."

...

"Peter Penashue and his group should treat us with respect as we treat them with respect," he said.

"If there's going to be conditions ... laid out publicly on a radio show, well then that's just not the way I operate."

So much to chose from.

So little time.

But for now: it's interesting to note Our Dear Premier's new-found distaste for negotiating in public.

Or, more to the point, his new-found distaste for other people's wholesale borrowing of his well-established and much-favoured technique of negotiating in public.

The hypocrite.
