Is Something Up With BC Ferries?

There is nothing on the wire.

And there is nothing on google.

But for some strange reason I'm getting bombed this morning on the search term 'Darin Bowland'.

You remember Mr. Bowland, he is the former safety officer with BC Ferries who demanded changes, did not get them, and promptly quit after CEO, and Keith Baldrey favorite, David Hahn apparently tried to scapegoat him after the sinking of the Queen of the North.

We wrote about it here.

And it is that post folks have come looking for today, including people from, apparently, CP, Canned West and the CBC.

Wonder what's up.......

This kind of thing is kind of interesting from an archiving point of view....because as more and more 'major' news organization tear down their stories and hide them from the google cache behind 'premium subscription wailing walls' etc. it looks like blogs are, more and more, becoming the true repositories of the collective online memory of what has actually been published. I've run into this a lot lately while looking for stuff I remember having originally read in, say, the pages of the NYT or the Globe and (nolongerEmpire)Mail.
Update: Well, whaddya know. That didn't take long now, did it.
