We’ve no hope of reversing the deepening socioeconomic challenges facing NL’ers until we address the inadequate approach to governance & accountability currently employed by both public & democratic institutions.
Legislating good governance is the 1st step to accountability.

To sum up, Barnes:
1. Doesn't understand his position as Board chair;
2. Likely violated the Board's Code by:
(a) acting in bad faith &/or not in the best interests of MUNL;
(b) failing to act w/ integrity;
(c) acting in a partial & partisan manner;
(d) breaching confidentiality.

A great speech is like great foreplay; unless there's follow-through, you're just left feeling frustrated and unfulfilled.
Wake me up when we see some actual policy.

After reading Chief Roche’s response, I can’t help but wonder if we read the same report?
The officer’s role in the scathing review is nothing compared to the very concerning failures of policy, procedures & institutional oversight noted by the AG.
Esp w/ firearm inventory!!!

Just when I thought the pool of high level bureaucratic power couldn’t get any more concentrated, one of the many articles on Sabia today included his wife’s name; who I knew quite well in her former 10 year term as CEO of the Philanthropic Foundations of Canada. #smallworld
New world man:
It's no fun heckling an optimist. But Michael Sabia's in the news again, so duty calls. #Cdnpoli #NLpoli

I don’t know about you but when I 👀 the first picture, I immediately thought of the second one but upon closer look, they’re not the same property.
The one listed for $1.8 million is only 7.2 acres so it’s not the 32 acres govt just sold for $$176k.
The market peaked fast🧚♀️

We could really use your help down here in the east end of your district.
We are passionate yes, but we’re also considerate & respectful.
All we’ve asked is that our voices be heard & acknowledged.
Is a meeting w/ our MP really too much to ask?
Isn’t it our democratic right?

St. John's East, it's an honour and a privilege to be sworn in as your Member of Parliament once again.

Fellow white women of NL who identify as feminists,
Feminism, at its core, is a social movement built on the belief that every woman deserves the opportunity to participate.
If you are in rooms w/ the same women over & over again; perhaps it’s time to expand your perspective.

Since 2018, govNL spent half a billion dollars to institutionalize children with complex needs who were deemed ‘at risk’ at home.
25% ($134,436,862) went to Blue Sky (owned by a loyal liberal donor).
During that time, funding for Foster Families Ass held steady at $369,375.

Pretty sure Amsterdam is the only European trading port GovNL hasn’t signed an MOU w/🧐
Odd bc the only group to push for carbon exportation (furey’s 🎣🐟 aka owner of private ✈️🛩️who flew entire Stephenville council to Germany for 1st MOU) has ghosted the town AND province.

Placing myself at risk sounding like a conspiracy theorist but I need to know if any fellow NL’ers have read the New World Order?
If so, what were your thoughts of this? I hear NL’ers referring to New World Order but never heard the connection to NL (which is only on page 14)

From AllNL: In 12 months, several connected newly created Ontario # companies have invested ~$33 million in residential properties across NL. All can be traced back to a Tronto private equity firm.
Nothing illegal per se however the lengths to remain anonymous is giving 🚩🚩🚩

Minister of Finance just stood in the house and said ‘I’ve received a message from the Lt Governor’
Now she’s self promoting. I think she’s calling an election. #nlpoli

From AG’s report on recent public accounts review:
This year, significant issues were identified with the accuracy, completeness, & consistency of financial info provided by depts & entities. These errors caused delays & adjustments in the prep & audit of the Public Accounts

Examples:

* $3.4 billion @NL_HealthServ were omitted
*Tangible capital asset coding errors led to adjustments of $7 million.
