The Ministry of Truth reports today:

Natural Resources and Energy Minister in Labrador

The Federal Minister of Natural Resources, Lisa Raitt, is in Labrador with her provincial counterpart Kathy Dunderdale for a tour of the Churchill River. On the eve of the National Mines and Energy Ministers' meetings taking place in St. John's, Dunderdale says the opportunities are big to showcase our green energy resources and the potential of the Lower Churchill project. Dunderdale says officials will tour the Upper Churchill generating station, before returning to St. John's for a reception at The Rooms later this evening. She says hosting Ministers from across Canada presents the province with a unique opportunity to highlight the abundance of natural resources on this side of the country. The conference gets underway tomorrow at the Sheraton Hotel.

Curious, innit? For a crew that has put such great emphasis on its so-called "go it alone" approach to the so-called Lower Churchill, and expresses such a great desire for "autonomy" from Ottawa, they sure are eager to show off the imaginary so-called Lower Churchill project to federal ministers visiting from Ottawa.

Why would that be?
