Dr. Sealgood, PhD.

Danny Williams' Ambassador to Canada comes in useful, it turns out, in the important business not just of defending the seal hunt, but of compiling lists of friends and enemies. From proceedings in the Bow-Wow Parliament on Monday:

PREMIER WILLIAMS: I will give you one example. They should be calling him Dr. ‘Sealgood’, because when the seal issue was on the go he went around to every single embassy on behalf of the people of Newfoundland and Labrador - he did an outstanding job –

SOME HON. MEMBERS: Hear, hear!

PREMIER WILLIAMS: He identified for us who was with us and who was against us, and that was invaluable information to me.

ODP was right on one thing: they should be calling Fitzie Dr. Sealgood.

Oh, yes they should be. And they probably will be.
