Sunny days

Last Wednesday, Danny Williams-Government was upbeat about the economic picture in comments to the Telegram:

Premier Danny Williams is cautiously upbeat about the prov-ince's economic future, even in the face of a looming recession.

Williams said that's because of a combination of strong natural resources revenues and his government's sound management of the economy.

"If we do, in fact, get into a deep and long recession, I think our province will be as good or better off than any of the other provinces," he said.

"The island will be affected, and transportation costs will be affected at some point throughout this, however I think we'll be fine."

It would turn out that Danny Williams-Government was right. The Island of Labrador is being affected.
