your best friend long enough, you start looking like each other as

teading of the contract was inac-
curate.

Referring to the recent uproar
raised by the SCBC over the rights
of free public access to class A
provincial parks, Flitton said, ‘“‘In
retrospect, I guess we would have
made minor changes to try and
avoid this conflict.’’
