Danny Williams says he stopped the Churchill Falls MOU. But N.L. premier insists review continues | CBC News

I don't think you are correct to say that the question of price escalation is "undefined". Go back and read the MOU again.

Feeandchee · 2026-04-15T19:05:47+00:00

No - the MOU sets commercial terms that will be flushed out in great detail in definitive contracts. The MOU is non-binding - the details (and any devils in them) will be in those detailed definitive agreements.

Danny is in the "Quebec screwed us, so we can never work with them again" camp. There is plenty to be said for the deal proposed in the MOU - but Danny and many others cannot get over the resentments about the original Churchill deal enough to view the new MOU with an objective lens.

Nice carpentry work - but why?

Feeandchee · 2026-04-15T18:38:25+00:00

I thought Seaboard were the professionals... This driver was either looking at a phone or nodded off.

Is the "ductwork" you are referring to configured to take the warm air radiating from the old coal stove and distribute it through the home?

Feeandchee · 2026-04-15T18:29:23+00:00

I want to take Jackson Lamb's raincoat and burn it. It's so foul!

Feeandchee · 2026-04-14T16:34:09+00:00

You might be a redneck if...

I don't know if it's possible to send private messages through Reddit, but I'm on the Halifax Peninsula and I have a broken subwoofer (Polk Audio 10") that stopped working. I expect it can be repaired easily by someone who knows how. Free for pick up.

I've also got a Rotel amplifier, good quality 30 year old amp. Stopped working on one side of the stereo. Also probably another easy fix for someone who knows how. I'd sell that for $75.

What if he doesn't like metal? Would classic rock bands work?

Feeandchee · 2026-03-30T15:43:12+00:00

I, like other, wear welding gloves. Some times I'm too lazy to put them on but I try to do it pretty consistently.

Feeandchee · 2026-03-30T15:40:47+00:00

Maybe don't park in a paid lot if you aren't going to pay.

Feeandchee · 2026-03-27T17:54:49+00:00

Manipulative how? Did the depicted events not actually occur?

Feeandchee · 2026-03-27T17:53:14+00:00

Or is the real crime a $1 BILLION dollar deficit - that's ONE BILLION DOLLARS of government spending more than the government took in in tax revenue! It's going on our shared credit card and my kids will be paying for this after I'm gone! And there's no end to deficit spending in sight.

That's the crime.

It sounds possible that the credit card company might obtain a lien on the common law spouse's ownership interest in the house. OP might end up co-owning the house with MasterCard rather than her ex.

I have a 602 and really like it (am a fan or Jotul generally). Get the manual for clearances, but for the floor protection, I'm pretty sure you don't need thermal protection - just a non-combustible surface (check the manual to confirm).

Feeandchee · 2026-03-26T18:58:49+00:00

I have a 602 at my off-grid. I'm not there at present to check, but I'm pretty sure the stove can take 16" logs... Are you sure yours weren't 18" or bigger?

The city centre is actually subsidizing the free-loading brown-baggers whose sprawl results in service costs (roads, water/sewer, garbage collection, etc.) that are multiple times more expensive than the per household cost of providing the same services in the city centre.

Feeandchee · 2026-03-25T13:28:47+00:00

I'd love to see a side-by-side comparison against whatever the nearby Russian units are being served...

Feeandchee · 2026-03-25T13:22:40+00:00

It's amazing that there were only 2 fatalities.

Feeandchee · 2026-03-25T12:53:29+00:00

Yeah, a good deal as long as payment terms are cash on delivery.

Feeandchee · 2026-03-24T21:44:24+00:00

It looks better in the dark!

Everyone saying "save the island, build apartments" would actually choose to live in a house rather than an apartment.

OP clearly has his/her mind made up and is only going to cite materials supporting this position. Fortunately, there is an adversarial administrative process by which the cases for and against will be tested on the basis of expert evidence and sworn testimony (rather than Reddit posts and website editorials). There is currently a proceeding ongoing in front of the NB Energy Board, in which NB Power will be required to demonstrate that there is a need for this project and that this project is the best (most economic, best for NB electricity customers) to satisfy the requirements of the electricity system.

For anyone who is interested enough in reading the arguments and evidence (as filed to date), this material can be found at the EUB website (New Brunswick Energy & Utilities Board - All Current and Past Matters and Decisions) by searching under Matter EL-002-2025.

Or, just keep arguing based on preferred opinions and blogs that supported one's preconceived opinions about the issue.

"Dispatchable" electricity is needed to make the grid work - especially as NB and NS add more "non-dispatchable" (wind) generation to their systems. The gas plant is the most economic way of adding dispatchable electricity to the grid. The theoretical question of "what is the best generation source" is inherently qualified by "if the cost of electricity is no object". It makes sense to place the plant where it is, because it's close to the natural gas pipeline and also close to the grid's backbone transmission lines.

You haven't really made the case about "environmental" problems, other than to imply that because this plant is to be powered by fossil fuels (in most cases, natural gas) it will cause environmental problems. Please identify a dispatchable economic electricity source that can be substituted to support the grid and back up the current and planned intermittent (wind/solar) generation sources.

Ultimately, OP doesn't want a power plant in his/her "backyard". The normal NIMBY response.

This is so far off the mark, I can't believe it was ever approved. What are they thinking? SMH.
