Spread the historic wealth

That Harper from the house in Ottawa is the biggest con artist in the history of Canada. I know, I know. I have to watch what I write, but I can't do that. My poor late great Uncle always told me that you tell it like it is. And telling it like it is, is the only way I can write.

But like I said at the beginning, Prime Minister Harper is a big con artist. There is an election on the horizon and he dangled some wonderful bait to the citizens of Cupids. Yep, $3 million for the celebration of 400 years.

MP Loyola Hearn and MP Fabian Manning looked some proud at that meeting. In fact, they looked like puppy dogs, ready to do their master's bidding. When Prime Minister Harper says jump, they both leap.

However, at that meeting, there was a good outport Newfie. He carried a sign that told the truth. The sign said that when the Prime Minister lied to Danny Williams, Minister Hearn and Minister Manning stood by his side. Those three puckaloons couldn't face the truth, because the truth hurts, and a truthful man was asked to leave the site.

Where is Cupids? I believe it is located on the Avalon. No wonder they got so much money. The Avalon, if you didn't know, is like the flea on the dog. It sucked out the lifeblood and let the body flounder along.

I know Cupids is rich in history, but so are a lot of places on the East and Northeast coast. My God, New-Wes-Valley has more history in one cove than any place on the Avalon. Then there is Greenspond. This place speaks volumes when it comes to history. Why can't Prime Minister Harper give that place a couple of million to celebrate Greenspond Day?

Then there is my little town of Newtown. This is God's country. By right, we should be separate from the rest of Newfoundland and Labrador and have our own laws. We are a very independent and proud people who can stand on our own two feet. We had and still got good sea going people who had wrung more salt water out of their shirts that the sailors of the Avalon ever seen. I saw we deserve a couple of million to keep all our history alive.

Don't worry. I haven't forgotten Dover, the place where I was born. Now, this place got more than the Dover Fault. This use to be the place where the loggers were born. They could cut more logs with a fork and knife than most loggers today can cut with a power saw.

Just to set history straight, my family in Dover, the Collins, were wonderful loggers. Now, just in case some readers might not know who my family is, I give you their names. First, there was my grandfather, Bobby Scotes. Then his brothers, Joey Crook, Jimmy Nug, Sylvester Slab and the war veteran, Hawkeye, or like some people called him, Old General.

Now, the legend logger, Paul Bunyan, couldn't hold a candle to those men. Those were the men who were bigger than legend. Prime Minister Harper and even Premier Williams should step forward with a pile of money, just to keep the history of the loggers alive in that town.

As far as I'm concerned, only one place on the Avalon should be awarded money for a celebration. Yep, the Confederation Building. Yes, soon, this place could be celebrating all those years it has been robbing outport Newfoundland.

But there are more important things than putting out money for a celebrating. How about some help for Gambo. This town, the birthplace of Joey Smallwood, was hit by a flood. A few million dollars could go a long way in helping those in need.

Now, all this money they are giving out is for a purpose. Yes, buying votes. First, they will waste our tax dollars on foolishness. Then to make themselves look good, they use our tax dollars to make voters forget about their wicked ways.

The Prime Fool of Canada should realize that money doesn't buy the respect of the people. To get respect, you work for it. And I just can't see an outport Newfoundlander, voting for someone they do not respect. We have seen what Prime Minister Harper is like. Are we foolish enough to put up that half-baked government for another four years?

Hmm, we had been sucked into it before.
