Hope all have a nice and filling Thanksgiving.

We had our meal yesterday, non traditional, turkey leg and vegetable stew/soup and moose ribs with baked spuds and gravy.
Followed that up with a light and fluffy red berry squares from a recipe taken from; Recipes to warm the heart put out by the 'Melville hospital emergency nurses and health records staff'.

Last day of electioneering. I genuinely hope that people vote with their minds and not their hearts this time. For us up here in Torngat Mountains District the premier summed it all up in a statement yesterday. "I hope all the hard work over the last three weeks pays off".
Well it has been eight years of almost total neglect for us, three weeks of pro misses just does not cut it.

Province wide the dark cloud of the development of so called Muskrat Falls looms over us. This is a bad deal from any angle you look at it. This blog post from Geoff Meeker puts it in perspective quite well.

Remember the three e’s when voting, environment, ecology, economy.
This project will do damage to the first too out of sight on the majority of the population, but all will feel the depth of the damage it will do to the economy.

Brian, happy tksgiving to you and yours as well. Thanks also for the link to the Meeker essay. It's a precise, concise and quick read of some of the issues surrounding Muskrat Falls that aren't as well known as perhaps they should be. The discussion about entrance into and access to the US market is good information.
