The only thing I can guess is that they did not do much polling outside of the south coast which is a liberal stronghold in Labrador. Consider that one of the ridings had a 95% vote share for the PCs yet pollsters had a huge margin for liberals in Lab. Tells you the samples were unrepresentative

The polling and Labrador was putrid. Even on first glance the results from the pollsters for labrador seemed incorrect. Everyone from the area knew that Lela was supremely popular. And Keith was always going to get quite a bit of support. Meanwhile pollsters had huge liberal margins there...

Also uh take a look at Andrea Barbour's bio. Can't see how it isn't a positive thing to have a knowledgeable ecosystem scientist at the table.

The mou was incredibly misleadingly presented. So there was a lot of skepticism about it. If it was in fact the best available deal there's no reason that the details shouldn't have been made public. They wouldn't even present numbers in 2024 dollars..

I'm not sure I agree with that. I also don't think there's any appreciable difference between the parties on climate change in NL. One is more explicit but no real difference behind the scenes. Hopefully Lela Evans is in cabinet.

I really wish that the new version of MERRA was out. It's taken way too long to have a no (major) surface obs alternative reanalysis product.

Trudeau will have a very complicated legacy. And part of that will include the some of the points you raise but also the instances where performatory reconciliation has actually left some lasting negative impacts. My home region (Labrador) has been torn apart by failing to care about details...

Atlantic Canada. Beautiful region. Newfoundland and Labrador in particular is the best fit for someone who loves exploring the outdoors. Lots of winter activities too.

Constant promises of millions here or there... It's also jarring to see the contract nursing scandal hasn't been prominent in the discussion considering the AG reports... Home in Labrador contract nurses were getting much more pay, less hours and no 'paging in', no wonder public retention is tough.

It's been interesting to see the lack of discussion in NL on how the new NL-QC deal barely covers the financial liabilities of the Muskrat Falls debacle. Yet it's being treated as significant extra revenue.

I don't like talking about the hate & abuse I received in politics. I don't need sympathy. But we do need change. And I promised to support women & girls who want to go into politics. So here is my story. We need to stop this. Now.
