well…

If the RCMP presence had to move or appear to move between Bill and Jim because it may have appeared (perhaps) as if Bill was about to assault Jim (because Bill was PISSED!) then that would have ended in disaster. (that would SURE not look good on Garth!)

(how much of that is JUST my imagination, I don’t know, but reading between the lines the fact Jim offered a gentlemanly hand for a hand shake and Bill declined it usually does not bode well for any meaningful conversation or meeting.)

However, Garth tells us they spoke and agreed to disagree that kind of thing, in a sort of civilized way, it was reported.

IMHO

“I was able to get Bill a private meeting with Jim Flaherty, which almost ended in disaster.”

What kind of disaster?
