Crosbie is right about the hydro power. The rock got screwed by Quebec, and Canada did nothing to stop it. But if memory serves me correct, NFLD was part of the problem, they got out manouvred by Quebec, and a couple of years ago, they simply refused to keep paying Quebec. I don't know if that is still the case.
The fish, I dunno. Seems to me the Newfs did as much over fishing as anyone else and now they want to blame everyone but themselves.
The oil, as far as I am concerned, they are entitled to the same deal that Alberta has. In other words, they get every cent.
Oh, and by the way, if it was the US, the federal gov't would control the entire oil reserve.
