HereComesYvette'sSugarShackVilleReading from the 'Diaries Of The RailGate Secretariat' Ian Reid noticed that the fine public servant asked the old BC Rail sale Evaluation Gang way back in early 2003 if there was any actual, you know, 'evidence' that could be used to back the claims that the public Railway was actually in, as fellow evaluator Mr. Brian Kenning continued to claim on the witness stand yesterday, a death-defying 'debt spiral'.
Then, when none was apparently offered, Ms. Wells wrote
the following:“....have National review the document to see if parts could be used in a negative way.”
Which, of course, led me to leave the following comment at Ian's place:
‘National’?
A ‘National’ what, exactly?
A National hockey league?
A National indie band?
A National political party?
Or.
How about…..
A National railway?
(enquiring minds would like to know)
Well, it turns out the answer is much less sinister, or even moreso, depending on your point of view about these things.
Because here is Ian's response to my questions (see bottom of
his post):
"....Sorry I left that hanging but late night editing after taking the pain medication does that to me. National is National Public Relations, the spin crafters hired by BC Rail to come up with a rationale and plan for marketing the privatization of BC Rail...."
So.
Here's another question for Ian, or others knowledgeable about the business of spin.....
Who runs National Public Relations?
