I am very scared myself that we will forget.

We cannot slip back into the state of stupor we were in for 53 years before Premier William's arrival, that which saw us elect Politicians and immediately put them on auto pilot for the 4 year term for which they were elected. During those auto pilot spells they Gave Away the Shop in the name of our Raw Natural Resources and thus the resulting give away of our Human resource because our people had to follow the Raw Natural Resources to find work in the smelting, processing, refining and manufacturing industries which were created in other parts of Canada.Do the Opposition parties want us to remain in that wretched stupor state for the rest of our lives? It appears to me that is what they want. They don't want us to have a voice. It's easier to conduct Goverment dealings when you have the voice of the electorate silenced. Thank You Premier Williams.

Please hang on to Premier Williams' Memory Lest we forget! Lest we forget!

"Lest we forget" is a phrase people. It can be used during anytime of the year under any circumstance. It just so happens we use it in November for the lost and loved soldiers. Big deal if Danny used it in his Christmas card! Do you want some cheese with that whine?

Seriously guys? The picture is from his farewell speech. Every time there's a press conference in the lobby of the Confederation Building it's either in front of the doors that lead into the lobby or in front of the War Memorial. "Lest we Forget" is not in any way referring to Danny, it just happens to be on the wall behind him.

Lest We Forget is a phrase that can be utilized to memorize any monumental event of important. The War Dead will not be hurt by using the phrase that hear usually when we commemorate our them for their Monumental Effort in both Great Wars. Our War Dead fought for Equality and Parity among all, so that every family could be secure in shelter and food and free from discrimination. It was also a Monumental Effort and Event for Premier Williams to get the message of Newfoundlanders and Labradorians out there to Canadians and the World, that Newfoundland and Labrador's Raw Natural Resources and its Human Resource were both being utilized by other parts of Canada and the World to grow buoyant economies while our province languished as the "Have-Not" province of Canada, simply because our resources were utilized by others for their economies. "Have-not" status was a title that the province of Newfoundland and Labrador never should have had to be tagged with and thus burden given its bountiful resource base and great geographic location in Canada.

LEST WE FORGET! LEST WE FORGET! LEST WE FORGET!

Given the Thumbs down on this site the Opposition Members are out in full force. Also we should be able to garner from that very fact, that should they get control of power in Newfoundland and Labrador, it won't take them long to put us back in the "Have-Not" status position we languished in for the full 53 years before Premier Danny Williams arrived on the scene.

They can't wait to take the Easy Raod and give everything away once again.

LEST WE FORGET!
