Today, in his weekly commentary in the Tyee, Mr. Mair pulls no punches on the takeover of Terasen by the Texans formerly known as Enron:
"I am just a poor one time lawyer, one time politician and part time environmentalist who does a bit of broadcasting and writing. I know nothing about oil and natural gas except what it costs me. But I do know bullshit when it wafts my way, especially if the source is anywhere near where politicians ply their trade, PR people hang out (usually the same place) or when CEOs of large companies tell us about the huge social benefits they are about to confer on our province by reason of their utterly unselfish corporate policy."
Hey Zeuss!
This is giving me the heebie jeebies, because we were saying essentially the same thing a scant two weeks ago.
What's next?
A seance perhaps?
With the ghost of Pat Burns where we partake in a vulcan mindmeld and start responding to every post on the comment thread with the preface:
"Gazetteer on the line, go ahead Doll!"

Update: Heres a wild one. Mr. Burns, who was with the CJOR at the time, once turned down $14K a month to jump to rival CKNW. And this was nineteen freakin' sixty-five!!! We reckon that's about $4.8325 million annually in present tense loonie dollars. Hell, aren't those Jim 'Rome Is Burnin' or even Rush Limbought figures, for local talk radio, in the fishing village that was at that time known as Vancouver?
