Processing won't solve the problem ,but it would certainly help, obviously you've been reading propaganda from the Federal government. Do you really think the feds would send equalization payments if they if they weren't getting 10 times that back.

If INCO were to go ahead in VB the feds stand to make billions while NFlds take will be in the millions.
Offshore oil the feds allow Nfld to have $0.05 a barrel, and that's from a Nfld resource to begin with.

I doubt very much that you would know what the Nfld economy could support, there is no lack of resources in Nfld. just a lack of management, and a great deal of it by the federal government, like in the fishery, NFlders are not permitted to fish while there are licenced factory ships off the coast from all over the planet.

I suggest you get educated if you're gonna talk about it, and get educated from an unbiased source. One other thing, talk about it elsewhere this is not the place and you did start the subject out of ignorance. I don't think anybody wants to listen here.

I forgot the B.C. logs, apparantly they are not subsidized according to the WTO, I believe thay have ruled on it 2 or 3 times in Canada's favour. You lost , accept it and move on.
speakin' of freeeee trade you are the ones who keep putting up, walls, while mouthing free trade, steel , lumber, bananas, maybe you should complain about subsidized natural gas or oil.
I bet you won't because it won't be much fun with that hand operated air conditioner this summer.
Maybe you can get Gray Davis to help out , I'll bet he hasn't forced and Electrical Generation or gas company into bankruptcy since last winter.
