My Grandma Hobbs used to tell the story of the London boys who were marching away to the First War

The party was shocked and tried to escape via the side door

One of them was not keeping up. His mother said loudly, ” everyone is out of step but my Johnnie “. Thus everyone is out of step but Himself Black. Conrad and Barb were out for a meal in T. O. with some of Team Black. They were accosted by an opponent who verbally abused them. But Black is only getting a glimpse of what an unruly society would look like. He wouldn’t survive. I don’t understand Paul Godfrey, he keeps featuring Black

when almost 70% of Canadians want to see the back end of him.

I am a Red Tory, that is a free enterpriser with a heart. Everything that Harper says is filtered through the rigid right wing ideology like Romney. Everything I say has the profit component embedded. The National Post was started by Conrad and lost $ 210 million [ this is a good businessman ? The Post is now more than 90% American owned and is operating illegaly in Canada thanks to Harper looking the other way. Of course some demented folk believe that the Conman is a great Canadian businessman. Black destroyed every company he ever laid hands on thus destroyed those investors involved, who trusted him. What a stupid thing to do. The other day Paul Godfrey sold the Post headquarters in Don Mills for $ 25 million and moved to some dive on Sherbourne St.

I would guess that is why the resident business expert Terry Corcoron [ who has never been in business ] is seen so seldom these days. Working in a basement on Sherbourne is probably just too much to take. With all Terry’s business acmen the Post has not been able to arrest its’ slide into a second bankruptcy. Godfrey lost $ 26 million in the last quarter. He got less than that for his office building. So the Post is in big trouble even though Paul is trying to fake us. Why then would he keep jamming Black into our faces when the Conman is out of here when the NDP takes over. If you are in business you don’t go around pissing on two thirds of you potential customers.

I suspect the Team Black is paying Godfrey a huge sum to feature Blackie. If this is right the Post gains in the short run but the end will come much quicker. Back when the Post was launched it had promise if it had pursued a moderate right wing approach. But that was all thrown away because a demented Conrad Black was involved.

IGNORING THE LAWS OF CANADA ONCE AGAIN

THE GLOBE AND MAIL’S GYNORMOUS * U * N * CAMPAIGN — I would like to add a couple which have yet to be used. UNtruthful and UN reliable. Phil Crawley doesn’t know where the truth lies and his Paper is so filled with propaganda and spin its’ only real use is to put it under the kitty litter tray. If you read the Globe every day you fall behind yet another day. For a long time I have been writing that fracking natural gas and oil in the US, the deep depression the Americans find themselves in and the improvement in auto technology which lets vehicles drive farther while using less gas has killed Alberta’s tar sands. Their natural gas business is now already dead.

Alberta used to get more than 60% of its’ royalties from nat. Nobody in the bribed media will mention that fact. It used to be that the Globe fooled the citizens about the oil and gas business. That initiative has now been forgotten. Right now the Globe is fooling investors in the sector, withholding the information that all of the tar sands infrastructure in the West is fast becoming worthless. Wall St. So each couple of days the Globe prints glowing reports about oil / gas company plans and promises of future successes. But in the real world the tar sands majors are cutting back activities and mothballing equipment. The only option now is that China, now in an oil banking phase will come along and offer a 60% premium on stock so companies can get out from under the slump.
