Cap in hand

The radio host fustigates against the approach Danny is taking on the so-called Lower Churchill.

Danny Dumaresque, that is.

Do we want to "go cap in hand to Quebec?" he asks, begging them, "don't screw us again, please give us a good deal."

Cue, as one nefarious federalist traitorous blogger puts it, the League of Professional Victims.

Guess the radio host, boffo journalist and all, has never heard of the Open Access Tariff.

Or, failing that, the provisions of the National Energy Board Act concerning interprovincial transmission lines, brought in in 1982; those provisions which one Premier of the day, Peckford, applauded, and another, Lévesque, with nearly the same finely-honed sense of victimhood as the radio host, sputtered against.

Or, that he has, but refuses to give up the badge of victimhood.

Maybe some day soon a boffo journalist will ask the Minister of State Energy Corporation and Deputy Vizier of the Wind how that Transénergie application is going, anyway...
