I read Mr Paterson's comments given to the Westerly after the meeting. This is the best piece of comedic spin since... well since the Monty Python skit about the Parrot that was not dead, but merely pining for the Southern Fjords.
12:53 Loved this bit of attempted deflection from old George on Councillor Duncan McMaster's statement that the Ecolodge was supposed to be restricted to renting to students,not regular tourists:
“The way Duncan’s phrasing it is denigrating tourists. It’s saying that there’s something unsavoury about tourists and pure about students and I don’t think that’s the case. I don’t think you can make the distinction between a tourist and a student. You get into situations where you have people with student cards from UBC coming up and just drinking themselves silly over the weekend, or going surfing.”
