Harper would turn Halifax Harbour into int'l trade hub

Prime Minister Stephen Harper decided fund they hydroelectric project that is to take place Newfoundland and Labrador in order to promote green energy across the east coast. The governments of Newfoundland and Labrador are seeking financial loans in order to minimize the borrowing costs that they would have if loaned from others. These funds are included in the use of purchasing a sub-sea cable that would route the power from the hydro project through Nova Scotia. Because of this, Bloc leader Duceppe is unsatisfied with Harper because he pointed out that Quebec never received funding assistance with their electric transport lines. He also pointed out that it was a "slap in the face".

Overall, I believe it is right for Steven Harper to fund this project in Newfoundland and Labrador since the environment is a very important issue in the world we live in right now. Steven Harper is stepping up to protect the environment and create awareness, which I think is a good and wise thing to do, in order to keep this country green. I don't think that Duceppe should be unsatisfied with Harper because although Harper didn't give funding assistance to Quebec, he is helping Newfoundland and Labrador, which is really still part of Canada.
