Monsters under the bed

Just so we all know who is in cahoots with whom…

The nurses are in cahoots with the Canadians:

PREMIER WILLIAMS: Mr. Speaker, some seventeen months ago we started to negotiate with nurses because we felt it was important. We felt their issues were important and we wanted to deal with them. It became very obvious to us after a period of time that there was an agenda in place here. It was a national agenda, and the national union in conjunction with the president of the nurses’ union here wanted to go to court. It was all about getting a matter before the courts so that they could test whether binding arbitration was enforceable or not.

MR. KENNEDY: I say to you, Mr. Speaker, that 30,000 other public sector employees have agreed to these clauses, that we have all of the major unions which have agreed. So, in essence, we have a clause that is being made the focus of an intention by the nurses’ union to further a national agenda, because from day one the president of the union has said we are going to take the government to court.

The doctors, as Squeaky patiently explained late last week, are in cahoots with the Librils:

Yesterday information was provided in a Liberal news release that clinical chiefs were all going to resign. En masse. So what we did, we said that today’s meeting was not going to go ahead. I indicated to Dr. Brendan Lewis, the president of the Association, at approximately six o’clock last night that the email that had been sent out, the news release, was false… We had what we thought were very good discussions. And the next day, it looks like the Medical Association, or clinical chiefs, are using the Liberals to send out their press releases.

And the Librils, of course, are in cahoots with Quebec:

PREMIER WILLIAMS: Mr. Speaker, the level of betrayal of the hon. member opposite to the people of Newfoundland and Labrador never ceases to astound me.

She is asking today that we release the legal opinions that could possibly be used, if an action is commenced by CF(L)Co, and give them to Hydro-Quebec so that they can prepare their case against Newfoundland and Labrador and the people of Newfoundland and Labrador. Absolutely not!

There is something, obviously, the Leader of the Opposition is missing here because I cannot understand why she is trying to accommodate Quebec in this whole exercise.
