Off message

Premier Williams must have been on a hunt for errant messages today because he caught two of them.

The first was Minister Shawn Skinner in his wandering way off message in a scrum yesterday when he told the province that Premier Williams' dispute with Ottawa wasn't going to get in the way of him doing his job.

Today, after an apology to the Premier, Skinner was running about telling everybody that he didn't say what he said and didn't mean what he meant. You can hear the VOCM Open Line chat here.



The second was his very public correction of his close comrade, Dean MacDonald. Yesterday, MacDonald said about bypassing the Quebec route for Lower Churchill power in favor of the NB route:
When you look at what the impediments are in front of us, we really have no alternative.
Today, Williams was telling media outlets that MacDonald didn't say what he said and didn't mean what he meant.

I wonder what will be said, and then taken back, tomorrow.
