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...
