Fair comment, and I certainly wasn't trying to rain on anyone's parade.
To be honest, I suppose it was actually a comment on local media ignorance more than anything. I thought Brett Ruskin was going to soil himself talking about big ships during his interview with Lane Farguson on CBC Radio this morning. It amazes me how reporters, who make a living ostensibly "informing" others, and who live here, can be so stunningly unaware of things going on around them in plain sight every day. It's as if they have no general knowledge base at all - and worse, no interest in developing one...as if everything's just brand-new to them.
This is Halifax. It only exists because it's a port, and for centuries there's been impressive floaty stuff to see here.
