Lamrock: No Deal

It apppears the anger is starting to hit home.  Shawn Graham's #2 man has said he won't support the deal in its current form.  Apparently many other ministers and members of caucus feel this way too.  Shawn Graham has a revolt on his hands: without the support of his caucus he's dead in the water (in the political sense).

Resign now, Mr. Graham.  The people of NB and your colleagues have had enough.  It's time to scrap this deal and move on to fixing a valuable Crown Corporation that belongs to the people of New Brunswick.

One final word of skepticism - Graham may pull a last-ditch attempt at 'revamping' the deal to try and save his hide.  Whether we hear "my kingdom for a horse" or not, we need to keep an eye on a government whose only remaining fuel is desperation. NO means NO - not for sale.

Also, here's a great podcast from CBC's Robert Jones tearing apart the government's paper-thin arguments about selling NB Power.
