1. It was a joke! It was also clearly labeled as such. Somebody needs to get a sense of humor. 2. The Campobello residents who spoke to the journalist who wrote the article certainly hoped to raise awareness of their problems in Washington, Ottawa, and elsewhere. The journalist contacted a provincial legislator and the US Ambassador for comment, so I think some awareness was raised. Many thousands of people read the article. That's a start. 3. I am NOT a liberal--not even close. What ever gave you that idea? I, unlike some people, do not intentionally spout my politics in non-political groups. BP is a very diverse worldwide group. I respect the rights of all members to their political opinions, so I don't regale them with mine. Lowell G.
