It was a personal review of 3 moderators’ trip to Halifax, and as such involves personal opinions and impressions. It was not a dry piece of reportage on the latest bill to be brought up in the Senate. It’s nearly impossible to do a piece of this nature in that way. See my example of Bob Dylan’s press coverage.

Maybe if we retitle the piece “Commentary on the Moderators Trip to Halifax” or “Moderators Personal Impressions of Halifax”, it might clear up some confusion and serve to defuse this raging controversy. [img]images/smiles/icon_wink.gif[/img]
