Liberal member of parliament Yvonne Jones is pissed off.
She told VOCM that “there are 1,016 people that are payrolled [sic]under the Muskrat Falls project. 201 of those are Labradorians. So we have less than 10 per cent of Labrador people employed as part of that project.”
She said that was unacceptable.
Someone forgot to point out to the mathematically challenged politician that 201 is a teensy bit shy of 20% of 1,016.
Not less than 10%.
But about double that.
19.7% to be super-accurate.
So if someone pointed out to Jones that there are twice as many Labradorians working at Muskrat Falls as she thought, would she be only half as pissed off?
