I know this is like a a 90% "American" user site, and about 90% of you 90%ers couldn’t give 2 rats asses about Canada or our politics but this really sucks
Fuck you Steven Harper!
6 years ago Danny Williams took over a bankrupt provence named Newfoundland.
Since that time has gone head to head with any thing that stood in front of him, and gave us a
ONE POINT SIX BILLION dollar surplus for the fiscal year 2008 and for the first time we became a HAVE provence not a "have not " and didn’t receive any federal transfer payments
like Ontario became this year.
Now your budget stands to rape us Newfies yet once again.
Thanks asshole! :thumb:
Kline tried to warn you what was going to happen in Fort mac and Edmonton in 06' and you wouldn’t listen.
He also told you your "I don’t need Newfoundland" comment was also going to come back and bite you ion the ass.
Gonna be real glad when they show you the door, and I hope like hell it’s Danny holding it open for the disposal crew.
GIVE EM HELL DANNY!!!

The federal budget has ended the ceasefire between Premier Danny Williams and Prime Minister Stephen Harper.
Williams called a news conference late Tuesday evening, and called on the federal opposition parties to topple the Conservative government.
Even before the news conference started, Williams made his feelings about Harper known.
"I missed my hockey game for this tonight. I wish I had him on the ice, I tell you," said Williams.
According to the province, the budget removes the flexibility of how the province chooses to retain revenue from non-renewable resources under the 1985 Atlantic Accord.
That means the province will lose $1.5 billion over the next three years, according to Williams.
It's a complex formula which may even reverse the province's have status in coming years, according to provincial officials.
The province will also be penalized another $80 million in Canada Health Transfers because of that newly acquired have status and other changes contained in the budget, Williams said.
"The last thing that I wanted to do tonight, at a time when the country really needs to pull together, is to have to criticize the actions of the federal government," Williams said.
He said he tried to make peace with Harper after the last election.
But Williams said this province is the only one directly affected by the change, which he said was clearly orchestrated to "cause maximum damage" to the province.
"We've worked extremely hard over the last five years to put us in the financial position we're in then, in one fell swoop, this particular individual has decided that he's going to take this away from Newfoundlanders and Labradorians," the premier said.
"We'll survive it. We've gotten by without the federal government before and we'll get by without them now, but it's a good indication of the punitive, vindictive, nasty side of this prime minister," continued Williams.
"I'll be around to see the back of his head in politics before this is over," he said "He'll be out the door before I will."
"We have to hope that perhaps Mr. Ignatieff will take this government down," Williams continued.
He said he hopes a coalition government will wrest power from the Conservatives before these change take effect.
Provincial officials said they checked figures with the federal Department of Finance, which agreed the province's take on how the new measures in the budget will affect the province.
St. John's East NDP MP Jack Harris said the equalization payment situation is "a major issue" for the province.
"It's a serious blow," he said, adding that Canadians now have an opportunity to put a Liberal/NDP coalition in place to oust Harper and create sound economic policy.
There were a number of other things Williams was looking for in the budget, including money for the Lower Churchill Falls hydroelectric project and Employment Insurance reforms, which he didn't get.
"Given the magnitude of what they have done to this province, (the other issues) pale in comparison, they don't really matter," Williams said.
