Editor: Re: Mary Polak’s letter “Greens, Conservatives both backed HST” (The Times, Sept. 2).
Hey, I thought Mary and I were on the same team. After all, I worked on her election campaign.
It seems, however, that Mary Polak and the B.C. Liberal Party read from a different dictionary than most people. In my dictionary, the word investigate means to look into, research and discuss. I applaud the B.C. Conservative party for this.
In the dictionary that Mary and the B.C. Liberal team read, investigate means to shove down one’s throat after denying, and without any discussion whatsoever.
This is hardly fair, and definitely not politically correct.
