It's astounding how certain members of society, particularly the CEO class and political masters, have managed to elevate themselves to a different level, and very rarely be taken down. This guy is no different than the Royal Bank's Gordon Nixon, who failed miserably when caught exploiting people as a commodity.bcwaterboyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00506402752799423770noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-35117130.post-69871839379827600112013-07-15T13:03:52.592-04:002013-07-15T13:03:52.592-04:00He clearly has no feel for the people in the regio...He clearly has no feel for the people in the region, Philip.

This is contemptuous of the nature of Canadian Society and the people of this community. I guess he is just another American ignorant of Canada.<br /><br />Besides this he did almost everything wrong to be an effective communicator.Tossing Pebbles in the Streamhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04354065895900279070noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-35117130.post-69627675682346008242013-07-15T11:18:22.148-04:002013-07-15T11:18:22.148-04:00The underlings are only tolerated, Lorne, so long ...The underlings are only tolerated, Lorne, so long as they are willing to take a bullet for the boss.Owen Grayhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06464860078574618579noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-35117130.post-74874365053993404512013-07-15T11:07:47.883-04:002013-07-15T11:07:47.883-04:00I suspect, Owen, that in the 'corrupted curren...I suspect, Owen, that in the 'corrupted currents of this world,' there will always be underlings to take the blame for the high and mighty.Lornehttp://www.politicsanditsdiscontents.blogspot.canoreply@blogger.com
