However, the rose-coloured, foggy mists were dispelled to reveal the iron fist beneath it all... the place is a feudal holdover, a society where the master class of merchants controlled the lives of the serfs, and still do. Nothing has changed. You will sadly be disillusioned, Mr. Cabana, by the Liberal Party, as well. The true bosses have positioned themselves on both sides of the aisle. "Come-From-Aways" like you, like ourselves, are often more impassioned defenders of the resources and potential of this province than those born on The Rock. The latter have learned not to 'rock the boat'. You will be amazed at how really nothing at all every changes here. It is not allowed. At the same time, the average person can display downright callousness, dishonesty, and duplicity, which always comes as a shock because it is completely unexpected. There is a common victim mentality which makes loyalty to one's family/clan the ONLY moral imperative. Needless to say, we're going to leave here. We didn't even last a decade. I might add, that the stress of various experiences has taken its toll on our finances and our marriage. But we look forward to putting Newfoundland behind us. We have watched with disgust how you have been treated. I realize you are not a quitter. But you will remember this little essay of mine a few years down the road. Someday, when you find yourself thinking about taking a final ferry ride back to the mainland - don't hesitate. Do it. It may help you to read the biographies of William Coaker and Wilfred Grenfell. When you do so, read between the lines...

You are very knowledgeable… Had you consider journalisms, editorial, or colonist? Or even political consultant? You are talented.Andre Delagehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03759559522906292330noreply@blogger.com
