Original VOCM story and headline, early this afternoon:

Williams Craps on Harper
Sep 10, 2008

Premier Danny Williams talked puffins, promises broken and prosperity today as he took aim at Harper's Conservatives while relishing in the good fortune of Newfoundland and Labrador.

Williams began and ended his address to the St.John's Board of Trade with his anti-Conservative campaign. Even Buddy the Puffin, the old mascot of the defunct St.John's Maple Leafs, was on hand as Premier Williams told the Prime Minister to leave our provincial bird out of the campaign. He was referring to the Conservative ad concept which saw the puffin defecating on Liberal Leader Stephane Dion's shoulder.

On the economic front, Williams cited some of the financial success stories in his state of the province address, including the recent signing of Hebron.
