Sullivan calling for the MOU to be scrapped. saying Wakeham is pushing "liberation day" from 2041 to 2077. "If Quebec wants to walk away from the table, let them!"

Des Sullivan aka Uncle Gnarly is now speaking, said Premier Wakeham did not plan for success, and that Wakeham should have walked away from the negotiating table asking for 75 per cent of all benefits. "Not even close to what he agreed to." People chanting "Phony Tony."

Noah Davis Power has revealed himself as the creator of the NL Proud Facebook page, which has amassed 100k followers, he's one or the organizers of the protest today -- people chanting "Liar" to Premier Wakeham asking that he comes out.

150 people here with a few RNC officers protesting: concerns ive heard about include not wanting 50 year deal, should be shorter; their should be more immediate money for reducing people's power bills; and protesters saying its hard to access and find documents and info on whats being proposed.
