In like a lion, out like a ?????????

I zoomed passed the LG and his entourage [on my 18 speed] as they came out of the Nunatsiavut offices yesterday. They were all spruced up in their suites and uniforms, quite fitting I suppose.
Unlike we first were told, Ed departed the HMSC Montreal here and headed back south. Seemed a bit of a let down, arrive on a Halifax-class frigate; depart on a scheduled run of a Dehavilland twin Otter. Word is that a helicopter owned by a keen political party supporter was supposed to pick Ed up for the trip south; it did not work out for unknown reasons.

Speaking of things that don’t work out; I have it on good authority that a recent run of the Sir Robert Bond was a little over crowded. There were people who embarked at Cartwright for the run to Goose Bay who not only could not get a birth, but could not get a seat to sit on. Standing up for any length of time, because there are no available seats, is not what one would call ‘having a vision for the future of tourism in the province’.

After the long weekend I will be back on the attach with Bell ExpressVu, Telesat and the CRTC over the on-going satellite signal problems, going on for 7 weeks now. It’s very frustrating and humiliating the way people get treated by the corporate agenda and there public minions, but I’m determined to get this thing resolved, not that I’m alone, but you can’t get ExVu to admit any one else has the same problem and has reported it.

Sounds as exciting as the visit of the Governor in 1821:

The boiled peas and biscuits must have gone down well.
This trip the descendents of the heathens put on a spread of scallops, smoked char, deer meat n the like for the lads off the ship, how times change.
Speaking of which, my little Esquimaux invited herself on board with a digital recorder to find out what’s up.
