New post up at the Roundtable. Plus – a review of the income trust issue, the incompetency of Ralph Goodale and the role of bloggers in uncovering evidence of insider trading.

Again Kate well done.
Laura:
I think that your observation is a good one, and exactly what some of the people at the CBC website audience will think. In fact, I once respectfully suggested to Kate that she “dumb it down” a bit for her new audience on that site.
Maybe you and I are both wrong. There is the old adage that “You can lead a horse to water, but you can’t make him drink”. They either think about it and “get it”, or they likely never will.
In retrospect, I think it was a bit arrogant of me to assume Kate had not considered all facets of her audience. Especially in light of the quality of her writing being a reflection of her intellect…

After having redefined the word marriage, it seems Liberals have now redefined the word victim. Apparently the real victim in the boxing day shooting, if you are to believe all the idiots in public office and the media, is the perpetrator. How confusing. So we as good Liberal Canadians must feel at least equal compassion for the murderer.
Meanwhile, the guy that was shot new years had shot a guy in a burglary in 2003. He was out on parole. The reason why he didn’t serve any real time? Well he was a victim as well of course. I guess by their judicial pretzel logic, the Liberals proved that once and for all – the guy is now indeed a victim.
The only solution for the violence in Toronto is to run all Liberals and leftists out of office at every level – they are the enablers of violent crime. Where Liberals have authority, people die. It’s plain and simple.
As far as the so-called ‘judges’ are concerned – if the convicted criminal/victim is leniently let out into society and commits a crime again, then the judge who sentenced him should do equal time in prison as an accomplice to the new crime. I think that would make them think twice about sentencing to the full extent of the law.
As well, don’t give criminals parole, give them the military. The army needs more recruits and these criminals need discipline.
In a previous post I pointed out the connection that these two Medisys directors have to BCE, which through Bell Globe Media, owns the CTV and the Globe and Mail.
Mr. John McLennan
Mr. John McLennan has been Vice Chairman and Chief Executive of AT&T Canada since May 2002. Prior thereto he was President and founder of his own firm, Jenmark Consulting Inc., specializing in strategy, finance and management of technology companies in Canada and the U.S., with a primary focus on telecommunications. From 1994 to 1997, Mr. McLennan was President and Chief Executive Officer of Bell Canada.
Louis A. Tanguay
Mr. Louis A. Tanguay is Co-Vice Chairman of the Board of RONA Inc. Prior to December 2001, he occupied several executive positions in the BCE Inc. group of companies. In addition, Mr. Tanguay currently sits on the board of a number of BCE Inc. affiliated companies. He is also a director of several other corporations and organizations such as RONA Inc., Saputo Inc. and A�roports de Montr�al.
According to the Captains Quarters post on the estimated profits from the Income Trust Scandal trading, the BCE controlled income trust yielded the bulk of the trades and the potential profits. Check it out at Captains Quarters in the Canada archive.
Here’s the link to the individual trades in the BCE equity fund, showing time, volume and TSX member number, posted at Captains Quarters. http://www.captainsquartersblog.com/mt/tsxbce11-23-05.pdf
Here! Here! I had to turn my TV off today when a Coalirion of Black Community leaders held a news conference in TO today, to talk about the “root cause” of the recent violence or should I say Carnage on Torontos streets. Its a familiar excuse for a community in denial. They want to shift the blame from taking responsibility for the actions of members of their community by playing the “blame game”. They try to suggest that its racial bias or some other bs excuse so they won’t have to address the problem directly. This is a well worn path for any identifiable minority. I won’t mention any groups because I’m sure you can fill in the blanks. It all comes down to being accountable for your own actions, not trying to dump your problems on someone else to fix. It really irritates me that these people are given free access to the mrdia to spew thier venom. They are the real racists.
Kate, your post on “entitlements” said more about crime in a few paragraphs than one would find in most university libraries. Several years ago, CNN’s Jim Woods interviewed a lifer in a federal prison in Georgia. When Woods suggested a variety of “social” causes of crime, the lifer stopped him. No, he said, people turned to crime in search of “easy money; that’s all it is: easy money”.
I was immediately attracted by your blog’s “mission statement”: This is just the voice of an ordinary Canadian yelling back at the radio – “You don’t speak for me.”
In this “entitlement” post, *you* speak for me and for many Canadians. Thank you.
Excellent writing Kate.
I wish I believed that you could make a real difference but unfortunaltely there is tons of money in “poverty pimping”.
Class warfare is used extensively by politicians in the USA because it is very profitable.
Again Kate well done.
