In last week’s cover story (“Left behind,” Jeremy Klaszus, November 15-21, 2007), we said Alberta NDP leader Brian Mason has “described the Liberals’ policy of accepting donations from oil and gas companies as ‘unconscionable and unforgivable.’” This statement is incorrect. In fact, Mason’s quote was taken from an October NDP press release about oil and gas royalties. In the release, Mason criticized the Conservatives and Liberals — who, he pointed out, both receive substantial corporate donations — for taking weak stances on oil and gas royalties. He called their positions “unconscionable and unforgivable.” Fast Forward regrets the incorrect use of the quote.
As well, in last week’s issue (“More than a ghost of a chance,” by Gillian Steward, Viewpoint, Nov 15-21, 2007), Liberal provincial election candidate Cathie Williams was identified as running in Calgary-Edgemont. The correct riding is Calgary-Egmont. This was the editor’s mistake.
