A major headline (actually, as I write this it is the leading headline on the NP site) this morning reads 'People are going to be afraid': As Calgary begins to return home, Medicine Hat evacuates in face new floods
And further down in the same article a picture caption reads "...immersed in water during heavy flooding on Saturday, June 2, 2013"
Not to be outdone of course, once again in the same article a quote is written as "It was surge in water. It wasn't lapping, it was a surge." Proper writing style requires that the author insert [a] between It and was if the quote requires a little bit of help. But given all of the other mistakes one has to wonder whether the individual wasn't in fact misquoted.
Day by day, article after article, the National Post is becoming a bit of an embarrassment
