Premier Dismissing Comments About Deal Signed With Quebec
April 5, 2009

The premier is dismissing assertions from the Quebec government and critics that the deal signed last week on recall power is recognition that our government must deal with Quebec for transmission of hydro power. Last week government announced that it had signed a deal with Emera Energy of Nova Scotia to wheel recall power from the Upper Churchill through Quebec. Premier Danny Williams says the Quebec government needs to keep a monopoly on transmission of power, and he calls their response nothing more than spin.

Of course, Our Dear Premier's own pronouncments on Our Dear Deal are certainly not spin, at least not in the pre-Revolutionary sense of the term.

Nothing could be further from the truth.
