Thanks to RanD Hadland at Facebook’s Say “NO” to Site “C” Dam! for drawing my attention to a recent Vaughn Palmer column. The Sun’s pundit mentions BC Hydro’s “pathetic” excuse making when justifying incompetent management of the Site C project.

Palmer correctly notes that BC’s public utility is “notorious for resisting independent scrutiny of every kind.” This observation is in line with points made at IN-SIGHTS over the past several years.

Of course, in Palmer’s words, I was just a blogger, one of the “Nincompoops ranting in their underpants” when public issues were discussed.

He references the very useful website Just and Reasonable published by former BCUC Commissioner Richard Mason. It is a great source of information offered by a well-informed man.

In his 50+ years at the Vancouver Sun, Palmer has never been more right than when he wrote this:

Time for Hydro to clear the air fully on what went wrong with Site C and say how those lessons are being applied to the next multi-billion dollar project.
