'The first female premier of Newfoundland and Labrador'

Letter to the Editor - Dear Editor,

I have all the confidence in the world that Yvonne Jones will be the first female premier of Newfoundland and Labrador after the next provincial election in Newfoundland and Labrador.

She is representing the people of Newfoundland very well, those who are struggling to earn a living in the fishery, forestry and mining. She is telling the Federal Government that Newfoundlanders want their jobs back that were passed onto other countries. A good example of this is the processing of our fish and farm products in other countries, and our people are at home collecting unemployment and welfare. This may not be happening around St. John's where all the big merchants are, but it is very obvious around rural Newfoundland and Labrador.

Newfoundlanders want their pride and dignity back which can only be done by getting back to work. The Williams government has a deaf ear to the concerns of the people, they see the oil, and oil only, as the only future prosperity for our province and the stepping stone towards a better lifestyle. That is like waiting for the key to Heaven, we don't know when it will all happen. In the meantime, people have to live Premier Williams.

Bravo Yvonne Jones, our people have great faith and confidence in your determination to clean up the mess and put people back in the fish plants and fishing boats again.
