Sawchuk needs to do some research of his own

A frequent contributor to the letters pages in various B.C. newspapers, Duncan’s Joe Sawchuk has been aiming his ink bombs at the NDP for many years.

He’s never shy about admonishing professional pundits and amateur scribblers to “do the research”, should anyone dare make a derogatory remark about his beloved BC Liberal Party or its former premier Christy Clark. His letters are often entertaining, with Joe providing detailed figures to back up his arguments, and for quite a while they have always concluded with the mocking exclamation : “Unbelievable!”.

In his third paragraph of today’s letter Joe states that “…there will only be one more tanker added to the present number…”, when of course, it will be one more tanker PER DAY. Then his fifth paragraph states that “John Horgan has completed a 360 degree turnaround…”. Such a turnaround means resuming the original direction after coming full circle; however, to chart a course in a dead opposite direction as the NDP has done with their LNG support requires a 180 degree turn.

Maybe Joe was in such a hurry to excoriate the NDP once again, that he went off course with his own renowned research? Unbelievable!
