So that deal certainly was not a positive contribution by Williams to NL.

Every Premier/Politician makes mistakes. How do you like the boondoggle the Klein left in the Alberta Healthcare industry?
As much as I didnt like Danny's approach at times, he certainly got my attention watching from a distance. I can honestly say he has got to be one of the only politicians I will remember from NL....and I have nothing to do with that Province, other than swilling pints with some of its finer citizens.
