Political mythology was the top of the reading list here at Bond Papers in the days leading up to Canada Day.
The top post noted that a national Conservative insider complaining about political myths was a bit like Aesop bitching about fables.
The second most popular post brought some evidently embarrassing attention to local lover of political myths who went out for the Olympic medal in political bullshit by making what he himself subsequently criticized as ridiculous comments.
The third post noted some problems with a local news story on the same political controversy that the second post covered. You’ll find another critique of a local news story in the one on gouging consumers that ended up tied for the fifth spot on the Top 10 list.
Not done with the political mythology theme, readers also loved the fourth place post. Another in the Dundernomics series made a penetrating insight into the obvious: Premier Kathy Dunderdale can’t seem to get her story straight on Muskrat Falls.
The rest of the stories on the list – with one exception – are all about Kathy Dunderdale and Muskrat Falls. The exception, the story at Number 8 on the list, is about a huge energy story in Vermont that involves a local company that just happens to be one of the largest private utility companies in Canada.
It also went pretty much unreported by media in this province.
