#1 Money. Power. Incest. Power Corp didn't get "caught up" in the OFF Scam, it was at the center of the web. Rae, Francois-Poncet, et al are as dirty as they can be. I hope this gets very very ugly, nasty, and vicious as they get rolled into the investigation ... we have an extradition agreement with Kanada. How they react will tell us much about our future relations. The tens of thousands of mfg jobs exported across the border, the incredible level of trade with the US, etc. could all be on the line. Time for a Northern Friendship Fence to match the sorely needed Southern Friendship Fence.

#2 I'll wait till I hear the response to the extradition order, but I'm ready to fortify the longest unguraded border in the world. They're a bunch of Euroweenies up there.

#3 Now, what was that again about Volker being a unbiased outside investigator?

#4 Just a month before the Canada Free Press revealed that Volcker, a former Federal Reserve chairman, is a member of Power Corp.âs international advisory boardâand a close friend and personal adviser to Powerâs owner, Paul Desmarais Sr.âa U.S. congressional investigation into the UN scandal

wow! This is huge. Not that it will get the play it deserves - but still huge.
