I don't know how much ("taxpayers"/public) R&D money was invested in AECL since the 1940s, but in 2011 its technology sold for a mere $15 million, plus 15 years of royalties, which could net a return of ... (as much as!) ... $285 million.

In 2009 alone, it received $651 million in federal support. Optics: someone got a sweet deal. And it wasn't Linda Keen, the president of the Canadian Nuclear Safety Commission or any nuclear remediation people. I await the Canadian Taxpayers Federation report on this debacle.

Predictions. CBC is kind of a Crown Corporation, so it will go to Quebecor for $1.75. Canada Post, au revoir. The Bank of Canada and Royal Canadian Mint will get sucked into the U.S. Federal Reserve vortex of Fraser Institology um, City of London mergerness. Canadian Museum of Civilizational History, almost fini ($25 million). Military Museums, who knows, just say yay! illegal settlements, fait accompli. The Young Royals and The Baby will make many appearances during times of comet tails, Jesus, and Heavens to Betsy what's-her-name will look like a nice brunette Mary and madonna, just like a Warhol suddenly is on the Sotheby's market with #99. The U.S. will default on its debt, so the wars will be free!

That's how Minister Flaherty will balance his books, with fire sales.

open letter to rob anders, mp

hiya! I support the CBC. I think it is a National Treasure! Oh, except for its nauseating, endless coverage of the royals last summer. Oh, and its nauseating, endless coverage of another invasion (Libya), yeah yeah Qaddafi had too much, knew too much. Still.

I see 185 people responded to your poll. The CBC was funded over $1 billion by the Government of Canada last year alone. Should the CBC remain publicly funded? And 79% (143 people) said it should be de-funded. Alberta Outdoorsmen don't like it either. The LP, CD archives are being sold, so it must be in the air.

Too bad, your vote on Nelson Mandela, 2001. Oh well, what can ya do. You should set up a White History Month, since it matters so much, in Julys. It would (sorta) coincide with London 2012, Dominion Day War1812Stuff 2012, Stampede 2012. Talk it over with the elks, orange order, shriners, we're-#1christian guys and gals, the legion. It may help tone down the white priders, with the boots, like the folks who set the Filipino man on fire.

I noticed Donna Kennedy-Glans, y'know when the 23 of 30 member executive resigned a while ago, she just won the PC nomination in Calgary-Varsity. Okay, are you a pastor? I saw a video online: you at a Remembrance Day ceremony. I don't think John McCrae ever mentioned the Jesus thing and red poppies signifying the promise of resurrection, but yours is an interesting interpretation.

I think the poem is just about ordinary dead guys and poppies that blow, on fields of crosses.
