Gotta love it when Tories fight. (from the Halifax Herald)

GANDER, N.L. (CP) - The prime minister will risk losing Newfoundland's support in the next federal election if the province loses out in a revised equalization formula, Premier Danny Williams warned late Saturday. Hours after Stephen Harper met with Williams in an attempt to iron out their turbulent relationship, the premier issued a harsh ultimatum.

"This prime minister is telling me when he comes into my province, into our town, to our convention, that he hasn't made his mind up yet," Williams said in a keynote dinner speech at the annual Progressive Conservative convention.

"He better make his mind up, I can tell you right now," he continued as supporters applauded.

"Because if not, when those federal election results come in across the country and they come to Newfoundland and Labrador . . . there better be a big goose egg for the Conservatives if they haven't delivered on their promise."
