| Email response from the publisher was a version of the above document, saying copies of documents referred to would be sent upon further request. I'm still suspicious. |

| Ed, I've read your thoughts for years on the mai-not list. What my previous post attempted to describe was that there is more than one way to earn profits, and given the record losses posted by major corporations over the last couple of decades (not just in Canada), our CEOs seem unconcerned anyway.... |

Here's his homer page: <a href="http://www.johnperkins.org/">http://www.johnperkins.org/</a> <br />
<br />
His book has received a lot of press lately, but check out the bio on his home page (I'll say no more). Has anyone fact-checked this guy?<br />

| The CCCE could choose to take a positive approach to maintaining Canada-U.S. relations, maybe even pointing out that the strong trade and commercial relations between Canada and the U.S. have always weathered foreign policy differences, that there is nothing to worry about. It sure would stick a fea... |

"Executives are pointing out that the juvenile petulance of many so-called Canadians is bad for business"
We do need to develop a more sophisticated form of petulance. |

| Not only that, the executives are full of crap. Historically Canada-U.S. trade has not suffered measurably from differences in foreign policy, the imperatives and sensibilities of trade have always trumped. Where anon writes: "Executives are pointing out that the juvenile petulance of many so-c... |

| Critical-mass cooperatives would (perhaps lamentably) need to play the revolving-door game with politicians. Meaning MPs and senior bureaucrats would need to have a stake in cooperatives. I wouldn't be surprised if the banking rule changes got a lot of political eartime because of CS CO-OP self-inte... |

| Makes you wonder what these people are saying when the boardroom door is closed, if this is the best they can do for public consumption.
