Selling NB Power – Short Term Gain for Long Term Pain
A lot has been said over the past week around the sale of NB Power to Hydro Quebec.
Regardless of where you stand, one thing is clear – this is a very contentious issue that will not be settled by a million dollar (tax-payer funded) PR campaign by the government.
I believe strongly that this issue is so important (as it WILL affect each and every New Brunswicker) that it can only be decided by calling an election.
If the government believe so strongly in this plan, then they should be willing to fight an election on it.
After all, this government was elected to represent the people of this province. If the people in the province want NB Power sold – they will vote according.
Shawn Graham – don’t sell out our province in a backroom deal. It’s our NB Power just as much as yours. We own the assets along with the debt.
Let us decide what to do!

A big time sellout to a separatist minded group who would have no loyality to New Brunswickers. If you control New Brunswick’s energy path,you control the direction of all New Brunswick’s paths. We will lose half the jobs at Point Lepreau,because they will control it from Gentilly. All the other generating plants in the province will be closed in a very short time. I hope they set up a big time Swiss bank account for Graham. He is going to need it after the next election. Maybe there is a way this agreement can be cancelled after the next election.
Shawn I couldn’t agree with you more on this and I hope more people are like myself and you and will blog thier opinion’s and email thier local represenatives and make thier voice count.
