Yesterday started off not too bad weather wise, changed to rain and sleet and windy in the afternoon.

Fortunately this did not stop a crew from the Resource Centre for the Arts finely getting in. It was the second attempt this week to put on the play ‘Borrowed Black’. They were supposed to visit each North Coast community but weather put a damper on this goal.
Fran attended the play, even though it was advertised as a children’s play, and said afterwards "it was the best thing that has been brought to Nain for some time".



I hear that some disappointed people are searching high and low for the Labrador Party candidates in this election. Talk about all talk and no bloody action, makes one very cynical, or should I say more cynical if that’s possible, of the whole political business.



For some years now the supporters and operators of the Labrador Party have been speaking out against the status quo that is headquartered in St. John’s. Then when they get a chance to stand as one and send a very strong message where are they all? Some are supporting the PC Party, some the Liberals, some even running as liberal candidates, talk about a bunch of mealy mouthed self serving gutless wonders. Excepted are the ones staying true to their ideals.

S0 where is the Rhinoceros Party? The Flying Yoga party? The Vote For Yourself Party? The Monster Raving Loony Party? The Personality and Rational Thinking? Yes! Party?
At least these would stick by their values and principals.

I just don’t get how voting, or running for one of the two main parties, will send any kind of message of the discontent these people have been espousing over the years.

So what if the Liberals win in Lake Melville and Labrador West, bloody hell the Liberals have been short changing as much or more than the PC’s over the years.
And lets not forget that the Politics in this province is a vengeful get even affair, perhaps that was on the minds of these yobbos when they bailed out when the going got a little rough.

I would recommend all politicians taking in Borrowed Black, or at least read the book, the theme of the book is to show how courage can overcome greed.

Anyway, it's a good thing I'm in a good mood or I might really put down how I feel about this disappointing development.
