...on last week's show you may remember that we enjoyed a visit fron Newfoundland trivia expert Rock Hiscock. Rock fielded a question concerning Prime Minister Mackenzie King and his interest in the occult.

Well, we are obliged to make an apology and a clarification with regards to Rock's answer to that query. And let me first admit that though I may have egged Rock on, I did not bait him, as some have suggested.

Anyway, Rock's insinuation of questionable or inappropriate relations between Prime Minister King and his beloved dog Pat, is utterly supposition on the part of Mr. Hiscock.

Furthermore, there is no evidence of a continuing "cult of the dark arts" or "hidden world of secret societies" governing the country beneath Ottawa.

Michael Enright, the former host of the celebrated radio program As It Happens, is not a Grand Master Freemason.

Perrin Beatty, president of our sister broadcaster the CBC, is not a "Jesuit appliance under the remote control of an alternate 'Second Papacy'".

Mr. Hiscock was stretching the truth when he suggested he served in the capacity of Best Boy in a fake lunar landing staged by NASA in 1968 near Fermeuse on Newfoundland's Avalon Peninsula. NASA assures us they do not have a "drama" department.

The Broadcasting Corporation of Newfoundland apologises to the Ottawa-Carleton SPCA, the Masonic Order, The Society of Jesus, the National Aeronautics and Space Administration, IATSE, Beatty Appliance of Ontario, and the Broadcasting Corporation of Canada for these errors and any distress they might have caused.
