His reporting sure smells a lot like that manure stench I used to have to drive through every day at 99 and King George. Used to turn at Art Knapp's when I lived in sunny Surrey. I believe that 'Art Knapp' is the business name of Bill vander Zalm. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nope, he was a real person. “Arthur William Knapp (May 4, 1914 - February 22, 1991), better known as Art Knapp, was a Canadian businessman and entrepreneur. Art Knapp is best known as the founder of the Art Knapp's chain of garden stores.” https://www.artknappsurrey.com/history-of-art-knapp Knapp sold the business to Bill and Art van der Zalm back in the 1950s and they kept the name. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Too bad it took Jake’s mom vouching for her son before the Trevor Knapp actually let it go. Not too impressed with his apology though. 1 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SID.IS.SID.ME.IS.ME Posted September 3, 2018 Share Posted September 3, 2018 Just now, lmm said: you seem to be contradicting yourself here I guess it could be read that way. The point I was trying to make is that “Art Knapp” wasn’t really the “business name” of Bill Vander Zalm, but rather it was the name of the actual man who founded the company. The van der Zalm family bought the company and continued to operate it under the Art Knapp name. So “Art Knapp” isn’t a pseudonym that Bill Vander Zalm created for his business dealings. Also, I believe Art van der Zalm and his kids were much more involved in the actual operations of Art Knapp than the former premier was. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bert's Bees used to be owned by Bert, Tom's of Maine used to be owned by Tom, and McDonalds used to be owned by McDonald you stated the Art Knapp sold it to the Zalms in the 50s, that is 60 plus years ago. I would say, "Yup" the Zalms do business under the Art Knapp name anyway we are dribbling off topic, cheers Edited September 3, 2018 by lmm Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sadly, one of the main components of today's 'media' is being 1st with the story ! Fact checking could derail a career defining 'scoop' ( think Eklund......one scoop/ lucky guess goes a long way ). It's not just the BCIT grads of the world. I've seen typos on the BBC site. Gotta get the story out now, now, now ! 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Agreed - and given the social media footprint is "forever", this guy will not be able to get any traction in the local media there likely for at least....forever.
