So when the PC's start cutting crap and doing crap like the other PC Premiers in Canada, you will regret it Newfoundland.

www.cbc.ca/news/canada/... - CBC analysis by Rob Antle credits the win to a combination of luck (“vote splits mostly went their way”), fearmongering over hydro, and a frankly mind blowing suite of promises. (New ferries! Tax cuts! MRIs! A pony!)

ANALYSIS | After big win, big challenges await N.L. premier-designate Tony Wakeham | CBC News

For the Progressive Conservatives, the 2025 election campaign was about the cost of living, health care, and crime. But mostly, it was about change.

Well John Kelly could have testified to have him impeached but he did not. They all failed the American people

Agreed, meanwhile we are in a serious drought and he thinks the extraction of oil has zero effect on water! We are in for a long 4 yrs!

So I have heard nothing about any work being done by these humans, said they would get right to work but all they seem to talk about is how they want to screw around with the MOU with Quebec.

After this summer can he keep denying it. I am very disappointed to have conservatives and believe me, PP is on the phone with this guy and they will sell us out to oil and whatever other corps that will pay them. He has rabid voters though so we will see how they react.

There is an over 800 billion dollar investment in this island to come from Quebec so to throw that away is nutty to me. What does he think he can do better, the deal is not totally done but the people seem only concerned with what Quebec pays per kilowatt and that is just dumb.

Just watching the nightmares unfolding in the US daily makes this all the more frightening! Working people are about to be hit with double the medicaid fees and she wants this for Canada, to sell us out to insurance companies, to break people. #DanielleSmithisatraitor

hmm that is good to know! The Newfoundlanders have been clear about what they want to see so he has his work cut out for himself and I get the feeling they will be very vocal if he does not do what he promised them.
