A simple question

In the past week, Danny Williams has shown he is willing:

1. to overrule a school board for any reason whatsoever, despite having given the board complete authority to administer the school system within its jurisdiction (who knows better than the people on the ground?); and,

2. to commit any amount of money for any period to make sure that people won't move out of a community. (Harbour Breton; He refused to "let that community go down.")


So my first question is simple:

1. How much money is Danny Williams prepared to spend for how long a period in order to preserve every single community in the province exactly as it is right now, even if there is no work in the town?

My guess would be he is prepared to spend billions forever. That's the logical implication.

IOCC shuts down. No problem. Government will leap in and pay people to stay put.

Then when the adults hit 65, government will pay their kids to stay put as well.

so logically, I have to ask...

2. Where is he going to get all that money?
