Main tangible issue to Unite NL'ians during this election.
IMHO the main issue in this election for NL and Canada should be help getting the Lower Churchill power project started.
The main stumbling block that I see for this is the Lack of a national power corridor.
Unlike the Custodial management and Joint management issue the National power corridor issue is an internal issue and doesn't require negotiations with outside countries unless you consider Quebec another nation already?
Actually even that stumbling block could be negated if they were to run the power corridor from the Lower Churchil to the Strait Jacket of Belle Isle and then down along the Lower North Shore of Quebec in conjunction with completion of the lower north shore highway.
If the national parties were to embrace this National power corridor policy they could combine it with Kyoto commitments and nation building policies.
Even Ontario would be on side with this National Power corridor policy because it would pave the way for the start of the Lower Churchill which would provide Ontario with a source of cheap clean energy which they are starving for.
Alot of the ground work has already been done with the Premiers efforts towards getting the Lower Churchill project up and running.
The Federal Government has already helped with a national power corridor in the west so the next logical step would be to make it nation wide.
I've tried to phone into CPAC talk shows to bring up this subject but as yet I haven't been able to get through. I'll keep trying but IMHO this should be the one major issue that all NL'ians should be pushing in this election!
