We’ve no hope of reversing the deepening socioeconomic challenges facing NL’ers until we address the inadequate approach to governance & accountability currently employed by both public & democratic institutions.
Legislating good governance is the 1st step to accountability.
A great speech is like great foreplay; unless there's follow-through, you're just left feeling frustrated and unfulfilled.
Wake me up when we see some actual policy.
After reading Chief Roche’s response, I can’t help but wonder if we read the same report?
The officer’s role in the scathing review is nothing compared to the very concerning failures of policy, procedures & institutional oversight noted by the AG.
Esp w/ firearm inventory!!!
Please see the following statement on behalf of Chief Patrick R. Roche, Royal Newfoundland Constabulary (RNC), in response to the Auditor General's Report: rnc.gov.nl.ca/news/rnc-respo…
Just when I thought the pool of high level bureaucratic power couldn’t get any more concentrated, one of the many articles on Sabia today included his wife’s name; who I knew quite well in her former 10 year term as CEO of the Philanthropic Foundations of Canada. #smallworld
New world man:
It's no fun heckling an optimist. But Michael Sabia's in the news again, so duty calls. #Cdnpoli #NLpoli

I don’t know about you but when I 👀 the first picture, I immediately thought of the second one but upon closer look, they’re not the same property.
The one listed for $1.8 million is only 7.2 acres so it’s not the 32 acres govt just sold for $$176k.
The market peaked fast🧚♀️
Things that make me go hmmmmm: 🧐🤔🤨

We could really use your help down here in the east end of your district.
We are passionate yes, but we’re also considerate & respectful.
All we’ve asked is that our voices be heard & acknowledged.
Is a meeting w/ our MP really too much to ask?
Isn’t it our democratic right?
Fellow white women of NL who identify as feminists,
Feminism, at its core, is a social movement built on the belief that every woman deserves the opportunity to participate.
If you are in rooms w/ the same women over & over again; perhaps it’s time to expand your perspective.
He may be moody, more insecure than a jealous boyfriend and harder to bathe than a 17.3 hh thoroughbred; but he makes me laugh every day…. So I put up with the rest🙃
Since 2018, govNL spent half a billion dollars to institutionalize children with complex needs who were deemed ‘at risk’ at home.
25% ($134,436,862) went to Blue Sky (owned by a loyal liberal donor).
During that time, funding for Foster Families Ass held steady at $369,375.
Pretty sure Amsterdam is the only European trading port GovNL hasn’t signed an MOU w/🧐
Odd bc the only group to push for carbon exportation (furey’s 🎣🐟 aka owner of private ✈️🛩️who flew entire Stephenville council to Germany for 1st MOU) has ghosted the town AND province.
Placing myself at risk sounding like a conspiracy theorist but I need to know if any fellow NL’ers have read the New World Order?
If so, what were your thoughts of this? I hear NL’ers referring to New World Order but never heard the connection to NL (which is only on page 14)
From AllNL: In 12 months, several connected newly created Ontario # companies have invested ~$33 million in residential properties across NL. All can be traced back to a Tronto private equity firm.
Nothing illegal per se however the lengths to remain anonymous is giving 🚩🚩🚩
Mike Murray deserves the order of NL!!!!
He’s done more to preserve democracy in NL than any member of government

Minister of Finance just stood in the house and said ‘I’ve received a message from the Lt Governor’
Now she’s self promoting. I think she’s calling an election. #nlpoli
From AG’s report on recent public accounts review:
This year, significant issues were identified with the accuracy, completeness, & consistency of financial info provided by depts & entities. These errors caused delays & adjustments in the prep & audit of the Public Accounts
1/
Examples:
* @TI_GovNL excluded $150 million from feds for HMP
* @EDU_GovNL required 7 significant revisions to its submission
* $3.4 billion @NL_HealthServ were omitted
*Tangible capital asset coding errors led to adjustments of $7 million.
