  • this country wasn,t built on oil remember it was built from the back bone of every work,in man here the logger, the fisherman, and the farmer, wake up sometimes what happens in the past really do count LOL

  • Peak oil is a myth anyway. There will always be oil because it is a natural product of the earth and does not come from decaying organisms like eyeryone believes.

    There will always be oil.

  • @Ljungman42 the point is it does not replenish fast enough. We are consuming at rates that exceed its renewability....who's telling you it's a myth?

  • @Shep11111 If we don't know how it's really formed then we don't know how fast it's formed either. We base that on the "theory" that oil is made up of decaying organic material, even though oil is found thousands of feet deeper than any fossil has ever been found.

    It is impossible for organic materal to reach that depth in the earth and it's more likely that oil is abiotic product of the Earth.

  • why,s the question just tell us

  • years back at bed time my father would say i,m going to bed to listen to LINDA SWAIN my mother would say i go to bed to go to sleep and i,d lie in bed all night reading and listening to bill randy or linda it,s was part tradition in our house hold they are great voices on a cold winter day or night

  • randy simms and bill rowe in the morning is like a good breakfast we need them their wonderful knowledgable folks just letting us hear todays affairs in our newfoundland across the country and around the world to not hear their voice in the morning the day is just not right

  • to call randy simms a dummy u must be living in another world randy is a very smart man just to keep up with todays affairs and have the knowledge to know different things thats happening takes alot of insite i listen to his show all the time his a great voice for our newfoundland and danny done so much for our island his got the support of all of us if he did go to the US thats his own dam bussiness when he get back on his feet he,ll be better than ever god wiilling

  • I can't believe that people like this little asshole that thinks he is a little god.

    He was even to good to go to a Canadian hospital, god you people are stupid to support a self absored ignorant prick like this.

  • As the main representative of Newfoundland Danny Williams is doing a terrific job. He has rejuvenated the pride we have in our Province and stands up vigorously for the rights of Newfoundlanders. I for one can understand how he would become frustrated by the pessimism of such as the likes of Randy Simms.

    I'd much rather a hard nosed premier who demands respect for this province and our people than a premier who is a wallflower and accepts what he is fed.

    Well done Danny, well done!!

  • Randy Simms is a dummy.......Danny rocks!!

  • And your point is?

  • Judging by the fact that the Premier dismisses AND disses those who may not share his rosy view of the Nfld's future, I urge you to file Freedom of Information on some of his claims, especially regarding infrastructure

    As I've been frequently told by my own municipality, the cost of infrastructure (public buildings especially) isn't the construcution or even the building but the OPERATIONAL costs.

    Yep, a dozen precision-aimed Freedom of Informations on the Premier just might do that trick.

  • I'm from Manitoba and don't really know what this is aboot either. I do admire Danny Williams for having the balls to stand up to Stephen Harper.

    And, I love - LOVE - the Newfoundland accent. Nobody speaks that way here on the Prairies. Don't listen to those idiots that make fun of it. It would be a sad day for Canada if it faded away. A sad day, indeed.

  • Awesome premier. I wish Stelmach was like that...

  • ... host got owned by an elected official!!

  • way to go danny

  • Oh Randy Simms. Look no further than Mount Pearl to see how pitiful Simms is when it comes to revitalizing a community.... that place still sucks. But hey, when the premier feels the need to call into his radio program, it must make Simms feel somewhat relevant.

  • yeah i know, i hear some thing he has done on open line and am like.. wow lol but he is better then Andy Wells though i will say that much. Andy Wells is all ways right he don't have the ball to say he is wrong.

  • what's this all aboot??? LOL, i love the Newfie Premier, he kicks ass and i like his accent.

  • Good job Danny! You hit the nail on the head. You are the best leader for Newfoundland and Labrador. Other provinces are simply jealous of your bold leadership, not worrying about your own 'political neck'. It's time to get rid of the negative folks, like Randy Simms, and continue to move forward. With your leadership, Newfoundland and Labrador will reap the reward of its' natural resources, and continually solidify this province as the place to be. Keep up the excellent work!

  • that was funny

    If I lived in Newfoundland I would vote for Danny

  • must be dannys time of month

  • "Illegitimus non carborundum"

    Don't let Randy Simms keep you down!

  • HAHAHAHA Danny is so right here! I wish I could move back to Newfoundland just to vote for him again.

  • How many of you know what it means to be alive?!?!?!

  • i guess the government of canada will get there hands on this money to spend it on there dearly beloved ontario and there ever failing industrial economy, time for newfoundland to keep whats theres, we suffered enough, we put up with alot of peoples crap... time for us to show what we can really prove!

  • just don`t spill it, cost money to clean up

  • Especially when you consider the federal spill response org is located some 300 km away in Halifax. Gotta have that spill response close to the natural gas wells to clean up those NG spills?

  • where are you from cheapstereo? you guys probably owe way more then newfoundland owes now anyways. Your probably a 40 year old man chillen in your moms basement

  • Comment removed

  • He got told!

  • I wish we had a premier like Danny in Prince Edward Island.

  • Ah Corey Fairchild should have somethin' to say about this, er wah.

  • With oil maybe they can pay back their equalization payments.

  • im so torn, I love Danny but I love Randy too.. How am I supposed to feel???

  • jesus merry and joey

    Danny the elf proclaimed messiah!!! Where's Ray Guy when you need him?

  • for mainlanders , dont comment. you dont know newfoundland from disneyland so stay the fuck up along and pretend you're better than the rest of us, fucking nigger loving, america hating, liberal faggots.

  • When you make comments like this you sound like an ignorant red neck. Also, I fear you`re making the rest of us Newfoundlanders look ignorant along with you.

  • agreed

  • Its people like yourself who give's Newfoundland

    the bad name. How is anyone supposed to take you seriously? I just laugh at your obvious lack of

    intelligence, its really quite depressing.

  • this is like saying to a man who has just won the lottery, "But what will your grandchildren's grandchildren do when the money is gone?"

    obviously the smart man invests the windfall fortune into lasting projects which danny will do, Randy stay out in Mount Pearl and run your "Municipality" before the Province declares you a suburb of St John's in the near future.

  • What about todays fisherman is what the host is concerned about. It was a very legit question to be asked. Look at people who live in Alberta and ask the people who are NOT in the oil industry what they think of Alberta's so called prosperity.

  • Everytime Newfoundland get something great to come to Newfoundland there are people who will hate it. What the fuck or do you care where the governments focus is. The maney they make can help solve those problems. Danny Williams is a great Premier. Way to go Newfoundland get rich and say fuck you to the rest of Canada

  • amen

  • Wow, Danny Williams cant handle a question even. WOW. He is Premier? wow... It is upsetting to see a Premier act so immature. It was a very legit question the radio host was asking... Danny Williams cant handle being questioned... I am not saying he is a bad Premier or anything just that this conversation seems to make him look like the kind of person who wants to be surrounded by Yes Men,

  • He's just angry because the 80's called and they want their hairstyle back.

  • Way to go Danny, tell the open line idiot where to go. Glad you said what should have been said to that idiot a long time ago.

  • OWNAGE! It's hilarious to see Danny toying with this so-called "expert". 

    Mr. Simms, how else would you solve the problem of declining industries without revenue? Sure, oil is temporary, but by making infrastructure investments with the temporary boon, than we set up hope for the future.

  • THIS GUY IS AWESOME

  • Danny Williams donates all of his salary to charity, dude is backed hard.

  • I will try my best not to get on the wrong side of this guy.He could really fuck you up.His favorite program is The Sapranos.

  • and you should get the hell outta Newfoundland. We don't need ignoramuses like you in our province with such destructive biases and attitudes.

  • i don't know about anyone else but i think its awesome lol

  • Danny Williams for Prime Minister!.. I want to be part of your Manitoba team when you run... You are a fighter!

  • Born and raised in Newfoundland but Danny just embarrassed himself.

  • mr williams for prime minister

  • Good for you Danny! Newfoundland has never seen a premier so good!

  • THAT'S RIGHT!!! Don't fuck with our Premier! Mr Williams is the best thing that EVER happened to out island. We love you Danny! You have our support! VOCM: He has a point, why always focus on the negatives? Your host does that a lot...

  • You are a prick.. People like you that makes democracy not work... I bet you support Sarah Palin you embassile... this is from a manitoban who wishes he was our preimer

  • DANNY IS THE MAN!

  • How mature was that? To think these people are paid to act like this.

  • Comment removed

  • in the middle of a major recession, with fisheries failing, papermills closing , major call centers closing their doors.....oilis the only bright notewe have right now and mister openline wants to bring us down somemore and make a goodthing into a skewed issue ...classy.

  • what a farce this guy is. I think the premier should go down to the waterford for further assessment.

  • 3:27 - finish = LOL

    I can't stop roaring at this!

    Go Danny go! Excellent job stickin' it to VOCM!

  • Wow Danny soooo mature. You sound like my newfie grandmother........now we don't need to hear that crap coming out of your mout in da morning.......learn proper english will you please.

  • Danny all you are is a bully and you are brainwashing the people of Newfoundland......noone should question the ever great Danny........

  • Don't dare question "Danny Chavez"....typical bully..

  • Yes, as another NFlander living outside the province, I can say that some of Danny's comments and actions have been "over the top", i.e. taking down the Canadian Flag, etc. However, it is good to see a NL premier with the balls and intelligence to get the job done. This isn't always easy because of nay sayers like these loud mouth talkshow hosts who do little other that incite discontent among the sheep who follow the loudess noise. They contrbute little to the solution. Get 'er done Danny!

  • Danny's points are valid. He can't focus his time on problems that are difficult, if not impossible to solve, without funds. Instead, he's doing the right thing and focusing on projects that are huge money makers, which will give him the economic power to focus on and solve other issues such as fishery and forrestry.

    And Randy Simms keeps his job by stiring trouble. He's negative, he ignores good points, he talks over people's head.

    The problem is when NLers take example from him. Shame.

  • 3 daily call in shows for a small province loke ours does more to corrupt our way of life then all the priemers who ever lived. it has become nothing but a breeding ground for dicontent and gossip. 1 show 2 hrs long per day is enough. Cleary and Rowe should go

  • Typical of a politician; Don't answer the question dead on.... but spew lots of static to confuse the electorate.

    When you winnow it down, this premiers statements totally offer NOTHING in assistance to Newfoundlands traditional industries.

  • The people in NL may love this hot head bully, but outside of NL he is burning bridges and making enemies. He refuses to listen to ANYONE who might have a different idea of criticize him in any way. That is the makings of a dictator. Be careful NL.

  • We have been fucked around by other provinces enough, we pay the most taxes, give our resources to Quebec, finally we can get some back because of this man. Being a strong premier, doesn't make him a bully. He's holding our bridges.

  • Comment removed

  • Danny boyo is canada's national welfare queen who has won the 649 lottery and still wants the welfare chdeque. Twas ever thus.

  • Randy asked a pertinent question and Danny demonstrated that he cannot handle criticism from his "followers". Williams is a very good leader for this province, but I have to wonder if his hot-headed reactionary nature is going to prove to be his achilles heel.

  • I am so PROUD to have a Premier that cares for NL! Hibernia South is a Christmas gift! Ppl need to be thankful for what we have, & where projects such as these will bring our province!

    Randy Simms has yet to say a pleasant word to, or about, our passionate Premier! As a city Mayor he of all people should be thankful of the wonderful job Danny is doing.

    The point Danny makes about these revenues allowing NL to take care of other issues is the main point! He answered your question Simms!

  • Was Old Danny boy on the rag or what! What an F-up!

  • Look in the mirror sonny.

  • Way to go Danny. I was listening to a man on open line last night and he stated that Randy Simms never has a good word to say about Danny Williams and I agree with him, he always has this negative comment all the time. Proud of you Danny, you stood your ground.

  • In response to two comments I've read on here. First of all, I am from NL and live away and I have heard other news outlets and other people speak of Danny Williams and more than half of them want Danny for their premier because he sticks up for what he believes in. To the second comment, I am PROUD that Danny would call into an open line show and give this guy a piece of his mind. People always say how politicians aren't in touch with the "little" people. And here Danny is acting human. wtf.

  • I am from NL and have lived here all my life. You can bet your bottom dollar someone living in GF-W, Harbor Breton, Twillingate, Flower's Cove, Old Perlican or Triton heard yesterday's oil announcement and said "that's great, but what's in it for me??" Rather than take the time to patiently and respectfully elaborate on the benefits of oil money to the people of Newfoundland and Labrador, Danny single-handedly turned yesterday's announcement into another black day for the province.

  • I am from the same area. You want to know whats in it for you? Better health care, better roads, better schools, etc. Where do you think all the money for that stuff comes from? What about all the money that will be put into tourism? It may not effect Central NL directly but indirectly, it'll make a huge difference. Also, why do you see it as a "black day" if other Newfoundlanders are going to benefit from it? Have you thought about all the people who will be able to move home because of this?

  • You really are an idiot!

  • Comment removed

  • I can't stand Danny Williams -- never could -- but the radio host is an idiot. I don't even have a clue what he was complaining about; he didn't even have a point. So there's all this oil revenue, so therefore what about...the children...when the oils runs out....?

    Huh?

  • What Williams said makes complete sense!

  • Way to go Danny :)

  • I am not from NFLD but I visited there about 5 years ago and again last year. I was amazed at the construction occurring in St John's. Impressible. Even if you don't like Danny, you must give him credit for creating a growth environment. Irascible, yes. Here in Ontario we have Dulton. Given the choice, Danny in a heartbeat. Even though I tend to vote CPC, I like watching the PM and Danny have the occasional dust-up. He does NFLDers well!

  • all this from the thug who claims he has some sort of legal entitlement to the resources of the Native Peoples of Labrador...he has said he has a "Deed to Labrador..." nope! untrue...

    what a rude person he came across as there...a bad reflection on the office he holds...we always knew he was a taterdick,but this is the last straw!

  • In addition Randy Simms is nothing but a blow hard who has a very inflated opinion of himself.

    He seems to think he's an authority on everything which is annoying to those who know the difference.

    Way to go Danny ! You kicked his butt.

  • I agree with Danny Williams. This a great day for Newfoundland. Randy Simms is a pessimistic SOB. . Randy has always been arrogant and it's good to see somebody put him in place.

  • May I ask what province you live in? What has your premier done for you?

    Danny Williams transformed Newfoundland. He made it go from being a Have Not to a Have province.

    How is a politician speaking to the press and passionately argueing his case have any effect on the province and their citizens? I don't understand why you are so glad your premier doesn't communicate and argue against the drivel coming from some idiotic talking head. What is wrong with having a BACKBONE?

  • One can't help but wonder if this will new deal will benefit anyone beyond the overpass...

  • He is Pissed... You can hear the restraint in Danny's voice.. GO DANNY GO!! let him have it. :)

  • Oil is good but it is not a renewable resource. The Premier is losing sight of the issue. All the politicians have been reckless and irresponsible. What the Premier is talking about won't mean a hill of beans when the oil is gone. If they had take care of the fishery we would be secure forever. Get over yourself Mr. Williams!

  • Comment removed

  • I'm with Randy Simms on this one.... having a revenue base (oil) in the short and medium term is good. However, oil is a non-renewable resource. Fisheries, agriculture, forestry,etc... are renewable resource. If we only put a fraction of that money into rebuilding those sectors, we would have a thriving and diversified economy after the oil is gone

  • You are missing the sole point, without revenue, we will not have the fish, agri, forestry, all of you on Simms side, give your head a shake

  • Go get em Dan!!! I have to agree wth you on this one!!!

  • Danny Rocks!

  • Way to put him in his place Premier Williams. I listen to Randy day in and day out and every chance he gets he knocks you as Premier. Needless to say, it gets old very quickly. Glad to hear you call in and put Randy in his place!

  • Danny Williams: small man, small mind, small c---

  • Comment removed

  • Danny is correct!

  • im on dannys side.

  • Comment removed

  • humm........
