The Unacceptable Risk Edition

When I'm short on ideas, I just steal them. This one is from facebook. Thanks Willie.

"If you want to find out what the government of Quebec's reasoning for the demise of the deal check out Spin Reduxit podcast: The Unacceptable Risk Edition: http://podcast.cbc.ca/mp3/spinreduxit_20100325_29778.mp3
The first five to ten minutes are good, especially at the four minute mark!"


In my opinion, I still think the public outrage is mostly responsible for the deal being called off. As much as the politicians are saying that Quebec did not want to accept the risk of Mactaquac, dam and the turbine rotor problems at Lepreau, if there was public support for the deal, the government would have accepted the risk and carried on. But contrary, as the 10 issues that Keir mentions were dealt with, with the last one being risk, because NB Citizens did not support the deal, if the government would have signed off on the deal, and the truth come out later, it would have spelled the end of the liberal party forever. Right now, the will just be wiped out for an election or two.
