Mr. Bo was counted as a friend by Montreal’s powerful Desmarais family, which cultivated the Bo family for decades and saw its businesses in China grow as Mr. Bo rose in power. Canadian politicians also sought him out: Prime Minister Stephen Harper and former prime minister Jean Chrétien were among the last high-profile foreign visitors to Chongqing, the southwestern Chinese city Mr. Bo governed until his arrest on corruption charges.
And ever since then, there not been a peep from Bo.
More guano re Librano$.

“He recalled one incident in the early 1980s when Paul Desmarais visited the yard, which was a subsidiary of his Canada Steamship Line, with former prime minister Jean Chrétien, then a senior Liberal cabinet minister.
“The workers burned Desmarais in effigy from the top of the highest crane on the yard,” Vermette said. “Desmarais sold the place (to former prime minister Paul Martin) not long after that.”
The yard then began a slow descent into a financial abyss that lasted until the mid-1990s, when former owner Dominion Bridge declared bankruptcy.”

Oh no they arrested the wrong Bo! They were after Mr BO governor of the USA. Seems USA’z Mr BO was not willing to repay the trillions he has borrowed.
Where’s Maurice Strong in all of this?
Isn’t he hanging out in China permanently because if he comes back to North America, he’s been indicted for his role in the Oil-for-Food scandal — and would probably end up in jail?

Yes, Paul Desmarais certainly hung out with a lot of, ahem, interesting people.
How does someone get as rich as he was?
sold to Paul Martin. no gave to Paul Martin and some insider shareholders . a kept some himself . Martin was a son of a government hack and only a few years on the job out of school
So Canada is to blame for all the corruption in the UN and China.
Maybe we can send them all our Liberals as a token of our current esteem.
and here I thought it was all about Bo, Obumbles dog!!!!
There is NO ONE in any government who is not corrupt or corruptlable. Term limits is the only way to at least minimize the damage these corruptocrats are doing every day.
Politicians are only frontmen for the likes of Demarais and they would never be subject to term limits or any other restrictions on their theivery.
Politicians always flock like a murder of crows to learn their trade from the best.
They are drawn by the sent of free money. The tricks of the trade.
By being a blackguard, batb. No man can have two masters, and nobody ever got as rich as Paul Desmarais by being a Christian.
While hobnobbing with Desmarais, Comrade Bo might have asked for his advice on how best to tie up loose ends—he’s only going to prison because his wife botched the murder of a British businessman to whom Bo and his wife owed millions of dollars. That would never have happened here—and it is impossible to think of how many unmarked graves of people who made trouble for Power Corp and the Libranos litter the Laurentian mountains without a shudder.
so Slathering dick, the RCC is a bunch of crooks U say?????
Can’t we just arrest them all on conspiracy charges?
