Lowering the guidelines to make the state of capelin stocks less dire is not the solution. End the commercial capelin fishery. Now. nationtalk.ca/story/fisherie…

Will Marystown mayor Brian Keating find better luck in wind energy than in the Aregentia Gold pot business that he says is in "panic mode and a financial bind"? Nope. Chances are he's in for an even bigger flop. cbc.ca/news/canada/ne…

Labour Min Seamus O'Regan Jr didn't understand legally required enviro review before endorsing World Energy GH2. He didn't understand right-to-strike before ordering WestJet mechanics back to work. On 2nd he was corrected by Canada Labour Board. This is NL's senior rep in fdl cabinet

Everwind gets a rough ride on the Burin Peninsula. All across the province, citizens are saying no to these mammoth wind energy developments. Are you listening, Government of Newfoundland & Labrador ? ntv.ca/everwind-fuels…

Can't say we were surprised but it's still a punch in the gut to see Government of Newfoundland & Labrador choose John Risley's wind adventure over environmental protection. A sad day for NL. #nlpoli cbc.ca/news/canada/ne…

Any strategy to protect the Atlantic salmon has to deal with destructive aquaculture. Are our governments willing to take on the global fish-farm industry? Not Premier of NL Andrew Furey, that's for sure. cbc.ca/news/canada/no…

Dymond borrowed $1.1 million from a Lotomax winner in Saskatchewan. Sounds like a good business plan. cbc.ca/news/canada/ne…

I stayed on the beach long after the sun had set. The breeze was gentle. The ocean calm. Clouds were lazy in an inky sky. As if the world was holding its breath. Bartlett’s Point Park, Sept. 1, 2024. #NewfoundlandandLabrador #explorenl #ShareYourWeather #Nlwx #labourdayweekend
