Fact is: Anyone who worked in an office will be working from home more often now.

I see the meltdowns are hitting a bit hard for you guys lol





Not "anyone" - there may be "some" - seems you are generalizing. But in my line of work (which is office related) one cannot work from home. That's not to say some can't, but I believe the vast majority will end up back in the office as before or maybe even split their week between the two. It depends on whether the business involved will want to invest in the technology to do so and how productive one can be by working from home.

U.S. accuses five Canadians of running $25M COVID-19 pump-and-dump stock market swindle




Is it not amusing that it always seems to be Yankee courts that get to clean up FRAUD that so often originates in Canada!


Conrad Black is another fine example of LIE-beral APATHY towards white collar crime!


Here is another fine example of LIE-beral TWISTED LOGIC!





It appears that LIE-berals are becoming ever more frantic to direct public anger away from their Khadr Krap deal and onto something or somebody else- how else to explain the comments I recently got about Conrad Black? The LIE-beral said this:

“Omar is Canadian. He has every right to be here and get the ten mill but what about Conrad black. This thief is a convicted criminal and not Canadian but somehow was let back into Canada. The ****er also owes us 5.1 million in back taxes. The corrupt conservatives let him back to canada”.

I say the LIE-beral got it all pretty much WRONG! First- Omar is barely Cdn- his father- the CONVICTED BOMB MAKER got into Canada after LIE-beral Jean Chretien had a major brain cramp and INVITED the swine! Chretien should have been over ruled but LIE-berals are Not strong on logic so Omar was born here like some sort of almost illegal immigrant.

He has No right to $10 million dollars from Cdns- if he wants money then he should seek it from the Taliban and Al Qaida bands he served. He OUGHT to be grateful he was not hanged as a traitor- as was standard in the old days!

And what of Conrad Black? He was born here.

Was raised here.

Made a lot of money owning newspapers in Canada, United States and Britain.

He did so well that Brits offered him a knighhood. But Pierre Trudope-the father of Our idiot Boy Justin had made it against the law in 1970`s for Cdns to accept such British awards and recognition. Trudope hatred of all things British is so huge that Our Pet/Pierre told reporters that the British war against Nazi Germany was “British Imperialism”!

When the knighthood was offered to Black, LIE-berral prime minister Chretien was apparently worried about his popularity so he decided to make a legal exception to the normal LIE-beral hostility to the Brit royal award- thus- Black was allowed to renounce his Cdn citizenship, go to Britain to receive his award and then return to Canada as an immigrant in the wealthy entrepreneur class and was granted instant entry back to Canada as per the LIE-beral deal.

Subsequently United States securities and Exchange agents got interested in Black and his Yankee operations and made a case against him and had him extradited and tried him in Yankee court and convicted him of funny money handling habits in United States.

And here is where LIE-beral argument goes really OFF- Black NEVER faced any charges in Ontari-owe- LIE-berals are SOFT on crime generally and very soft on complicated white collar crime! Its why LIE-berals declined to prosecute the guy who stole 30 million dollars in an Ontari-owe Ponzi scheme!

LIE-berals decided they did not have the resources to prosecute such a complicated case- possibly they had already run up BIG bills buying pizza and beer and hotel rooms and supplying contract signing bonuses for the teacher unions they were PRETENDING to do hard contract negotiations with? So the Ponzi schemer was simply thrown out of the country- and really- if you had just stolen $30 million dollars- how big a punishment would it be to simply get told: “leave the country with your money and do not come back”?

So- Black was IGNORED by LIE-berals- he has done nothing wrong that anybody knows of in this country. And really- one has to ask how big a crime Black committed in United States as prosecutors RE-DEFINED their legal definition of FRAUD DURING the trial!

Yes- they arrested Black and then started defining what he had legally done wrong! Black is no saint- I am reminded of the old saying that “behind every great fortune there is a great crime”!

But Black was, is and always will be a “Cdn is a Cdn is a Cdn’ to quote Our idiot Boy Justin!

Black does not come from a line of bomb making Canada hating Muslim loons, nor has he fought against western troops by blowing them up with bombs. Black is no saint but neither are any other wealthy business people and sadly- he is no more greedy or selfish than any of our civil service union Hogs! Black is just another in a long line of slippery business people -the ones that LIE-berals are currently “entertaining” in their “pay for access” dinner/and political influence scandals!

And Black GOT NOTHING- not a penny from Cdn govt after being in Yankee jail. Black was architect of his own misfortune- just as Khadr was and Khadr ought to have gotten what Black got- a curse and a grudging re-admittance to the country of his birth! Any effort to link Black and Khadr is LIE-beral logic- and that is good resason to CONTINUE calling Trudope followers “LIE-berals”!

There are two reasons for LIE-berals to keep harping on the subject of Black- firstly- as mentioned, they are desperate to change the public discussion away form Khadr and onto anything else and they think Black is a handy change of subject. Second, Black owned a pack of newspapers-including National Post- that used a LOT of ink exposing the holes and flaws in FAILED LIE-beral policy and that is the Big reason LIE-berals HATE Black and want to smear him! Black no longer has his newspapers and cannot respond and LIE-berals DO seem to enjoy kicking a man when he is down!

Canadian securities violations resulted in $45M in fines, about 19 years of jail

OTTAWA — Canadian Securities Administrator investigations into fraud, market manipulation, insider trading and other violations resulted in more than $45 million worth of sanctions in the year ending March 2020.

The organization of provincial and territorial securities regulators said in that time period, four individuals received a total of 18 years and 11 months of jail terms for criminal cases, while eight people received 10 years and eight months of prison time for quasi-criminal cases.

The CSA concluded 23 fraud cases resulting in more than $3.3 million in penalties.

Almost 100 interim cease-trade and asset-freeze orders were issued across all of its cases, while 65 individuals and 33 companies were banned from participating in the capital markets.

The CSA says 66 alerts were released to warn the public about possible investment scams, most of which were linked to foreign businesses that are not registered to trade securities in the country but were targeting Canadian investors.

The CSA says it received 291 tips through its whistleblower program, which allows individuals to report possible securities laws violations.
