If you were
the serious one, John would be whoopin’ and hollerin’. That’s just the way he is.
Same thing
with his Saturday Telegram Column, "Muskrat Falls is worth the risk". You
might have
thought he had joined Kathy Dunderdale in support of Muskrat Falls.
But be
careful with that one. John’s approach
to serious issues might differ from yours.
What tipped
me off was his attempt to justify the Project with a single snippet from Bartlett’s
Favourite Quotations. Intoned Crosbie: “Only
those who would risk going too far can possibly find out how far you can go.” Cripes, he must have known T.S Eliot was pure
giveaway. He was saying, ‘don’t be surprised
if you fall off the deep end’!
After T.S.
Eliot, he put down his pen. That was
another clue. Two years late, we still await Dunderdale’s explanation for how
Muskrat is either necessary or economic.
John could have posted about this megaproject in the next fifty-two
editions of The Telegram. Yet, he hardly used
up even one.
