Maclean's columnist Mark Steyn has spent the last few months vigorously defending the honour of Lord Black of CrossHarbour, and suggested on almost a daily basis that quite possibly the Worst Canadian Ever (TM) would be declared innocent of the mountain of charges against him.
Of course, Steyn was wrong, and has been licking his wounds online ever since the 4 guilty verdicts were announced.
Now, rival Maclean's blogger Paul Wells has rubbed a little salt on Steyn's wounds. In his blog, Wells soothes all those who fret about Canada's high dollar by reminding them of one of Steyn's earlier predictions:
True, 96 cents is a little salty, but have no fear. By December the loonie will be down to 60 cents US, or maybe 55. Also, rampant environmentalism will send unemployment skyrocketing. All by December! Five months hence!Trust me. I have it on the highest authority.
Oh, Mark Steyn, you may be a decent writer, but your fortune-telling instincts are about as sound as the girl on the late night Quebec infomercials.
And of the old National Post alumni, Wells has you easily beat. He's sort of a Bruce Hutchinson or Dalton Camp to your Warren Kinsella.
