04 May 2005  Grimey cameras  Maybe there is some irony in having
the two defeated, terminal premiers of long party regimes (Tom
"43 days" Rideout for the Tories and Roger Grimes for the
Liberals) duking it out on the completely irrelevant issue of
security cameras in government buildings.  At a time when the
crab fishery is closed, crimes are being committed regularly and
going unpunished by government, the best thing Roger Grimes can
come up with is to ask questions about security cameras
installed at the Confederation Building.  If ever there was
evidence of an Opposition having nothing to say, this is it.
Where are the concrete suggestions on how to solve the crisis -
other than government caving in?  Where are the observations
about the long-term problems in the fishery?  Where is the
concern about the House of Assembly, government building being
trashed and confidential files being thrown about (let alone
read)?  Where is the concern that government is condoning
criminal activity with its inept handling
