Vivid imagination
According to the CBC, Stephen Harper's letter to Danny, in response to Danny's letter to Stephen et al., is big on the Labrador issues:
Williams said he is pleased with Harper's responses, especially on issues involving Labrador. [...]
"On the Trans-Labrador Highway, there is a commitment for a 50-50 cost share of support for the Trans-Labrador Highway, which is a major undertaking which our government is committed to do," Williams said.
Two slight, inconvenient, problems of fact with that glowing review:
- in his letter to Danny, Stephen Harper doesn't actually offer to cost-share the TLH on a 50-50 (or any other) basis;
- in his letter to Stephen et al., Danny Williams never asks them to cost-share the TLH on a 50-50 (or any other) basis.
It's easy enough to declare victory when you don't define winning conditions in the first place...

Hey Wally,
Don't worry! The CBC will never let the facts get in the way of a good story!
How do you think they've managed to keep the Libels in power all these years? ;)

It's a comment on Williams, not the CBC. Notice the direct quote?
