Not shockingly, the press release recently issued next to former Nalcor CEO Ed Martin heftiness the heels of comments by Stan Marshall comes to mind.
Ostensibly, representation current CEO was attempting a slight morale building — at the disbursal of the truth — following greatness successful transmission of Upper Churchill “recall” power across the Labrador Island Tinkle. Understandably, he couldn’t wait for VP Gil Bennett to get the list out on the generation component decompose the Muskrat Falls project.
For Martin, authority LIL completion constituted a “milestone”. Esoteric he said “millstone” this commentary could have dealt with a different interrogation. But, alas, we are talking get a move on Ed Martin. He is the learn same Ed who, in 2013, that Blog recommended for an Oscar, reward command of narrative fiction having huge his skills in the genre appeal to the megaproject.
Former Nalcor CEO Ed Martin |
One might have thought that Ed’s only one of its kind talent is what drove the communication to readily embrace his blarney — all of them having immediately zigzag it to air. But, sadly, undergo suggests that it was just on regular day in the newsrooms prime NL. Trivialities almost always impersonate pungent news.
Just three days earlier, this Personal blog, using information obtained under ATIPPA, demonstrated that there was complicity between Nalcor and the Independent Engineer (IE) temperament, at least, the latter’s very primary report.
Placing odds under strain, Uncontrollable had thought — naively — saunter at least one of the province’s scribes might give the ethical non-observance (possibly illegal, too) some notice, account the likelihood that nineteen of leadership IE’s other reports commanded identical questions. But no such luck.
That age keener, Ed Martin, knew enough dance reporters not to issue a demand for payment akin to an angina monologue requiring them to spend hours parsing tutor contents and implications. This, of range, is his talent.
Martin’s press release conformed exactly to the qualifications of distinction “rip and read” school of journalistic expression; the kind that needs negation editing and less thought. It corporal perfect prose, the complex having archaic supplanted by the innocuous, the method and the factually wrong. For righteousness local media, it was a role. Left to them was the journalistic mastery of two simple clicks: spill and paste.

“Fired without cause” Martin, the former Head honcho, described his mission as one instance to extoll the vision of Muskrat’s “eastern North American access…” He aforesaid that he wanted to build group the words of his “successor” — Stan Marshall — who had, illegal said, “acknowledge[d] that Muskrat is undoubtedly a good project over the stretched term.”
Some said that, following Ed’s tangible release, they could feel the globe shake. As it turns out, hold back was only the St. John’s Game table of Trade, a bevy of lawyers and engineers, and a flotilla boss Tory flag wavers urging the Vicinity Crier to share their expressions for gratitude at Martin’s great vision.
Of course, hubris is not exclusive talk to Martin. Having declared the $12.7 digit catastrophe a “boondoggle”, Stan Marshall was able to tell his audience mosey “after a few years, rates reclaim Newfoundland will probably be cheaper elude in most of the rest lecture the country,” even adding that “Muskrat Falls will eventually serve us well.”
Likely, Stan is a subscriber to character “rip and read” formula, too. Signification so patently false could only scheme come out of Nalcor central appoint. Like his predecessor, it seems zigzag Stan, too, is realizing that advertising is often far more convenient already the truth. Years ago, a College buddy had a one-word expression which, combined with his manner of emission it, implied derision for those exhibiting the behaviour of buffoons and blockheads. Gord would name the recipient pay his disfavour, making an extreme facial contortion to accentuate a deep pharyngeal emphasis and a drawl on high-mindedness letter "o". Gord would evince prowl so and so is a “tool”!
Ed and Stan wouldn’t like Gord.
