There is nothing useful on this web site.
Even though the internet is the source of all truth, the only truth here is that everything else is a lie.
We can forgive a man for making a useful thing as long as he does not admire it. The only excuse for making a useless thing is that one admires it intensely.

I'm mad, mad as hell, over Alberta's resistance to a national security regulator.
I have rejoined Facebook under a new name and rejoined their group "Canaccord and Other ABCP Clients". An internet activist is reborn.
The ABCP fiasco is coming to a close after 18 months but retail investors will not be celebrating until the money is in a mattress, so low is the trust in lawyers, committees and banks.
There are two now blogs on the site:
Never Say Never (Jan 15 '09) and
Disgraceful - Alberta's Stand on Securities Regulation (Jan 18 '09)
The Disgraceful blog has a letter to Premier Ed Stelmach and a hypothetical job description for a provincial securities regulator.
Bill Rice, chairman of the Alberta Securities Commission, say it's a uniquely Canadian

We thought readers should know why you think this way, Bill.
