Critics say an imminent provincial election in Newfoundland and Labrador is a key opportunity for the public to demand transparency about a new energy agreement with Hydro-Qu\u00e9bec \u2014 and possibly even halt it. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
Jack Harris, a former member of Parliament for the N-D-P, is among a number of former politicians, public servants and energy leaders in the province to publicly oppose the tentative agreement, saying it repeats mistakes of the past.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
With an election call expected in the coming days, Harris says he hopes the public will demand more open discussion about the agreement and vote according to where they stand.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Newfoundland and Labrador’s Liberal government has championed the new memorandum of understanding with Hydro-Qu\u00e9bec as a game changer for a province carrying spiralling debt. (The Canadian Press)<\/p>\n\n\n\n

A new book sheds light on the mystery of a Second World War marine tragedy that was kept under a cloak of secrecy despite decimating the ranks of Halifax\u2019s harbour pilots.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
“Broadside: Halifax\u2019s Wartime Pilot Boat Disaster,” by former television journalist Rick Grant, is set to be released this week by Formac Publishing.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The book recounts the events of March 28th, 1940, when the freighter S-S Edmond plowed through the port side of the motorized schooner Hebridean, killing nine men including six harbour pilots.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Grant says what happened that night remains largely uncertain, mainly because of a federal government more intent in advancing Canada\u2019s wartime interests than attempting to find the cause of the deadly collision. (The Canadian Press)<\/p>\n\n\n\n
