August1991 Posted February 25, 2012 Author Report Posted February 25, 2012 (edited) ... as the very astute Shakeyhands recently stated in regards padding one's post count!Waldo (and Shakey), I could give a f** about my post count. That's not why I bumped this thread.Rather, I am amazed how insular the English Canadian MSM is. At least in the French MSM, this is a (veiled) question. Edited February 25, 2012 by August1991 Quote
waldo Posted February 25, 2012 Report Posted February 25, 2012 Hmmm...Elvis and Harper... Have they met? Quote
August1991 Posted February 25, 2012 Author Report Posted February 25, 2012 (edited) Paul Martin, the last federal Liberal PM, is a very rich man. Waldo, do you know how Paul Martin became a rich man?And Waldo, Jean Chrétien's daughter - like all smart women - married up... Do you know who she married? ---- Stephen Harper was born in Leaside, Ontario and became a Calgary Tory. So, Harper's an outsider. It seems a natural question to ask whether Harper and Desmarais have met. Edited February 25, 2012 by August1991 Quote
cybercoma Posted February 25, 2012 Report Posted February 25, 2012 Is it bad that I had no idea who Desmarais was until I looked it up? Quote

Bryan Posted February 25, 2012 Report Posted February 25, 2012 I'd be quite surprised if Harper has not met Desmarias, but I can't see how it would be news either way. Important people do tend to have at least met a lot of other important people. Quote
Topaz Posted February 25, 2012 Report Posted February 25, 2012 Maybe there's a connection between Harper and China and the investments Desmarais has in China since the days of Mulroney who helped Desmarais achieve his business there. I think Power Corp has something to do with China's Three Gorges Dam hydroelectric project back in 1994. I would think since its about Harper, its probably about the pipeline and China. Quote
August1991 Posted March 3, 2012 Author Report Posted March 3, 2012 (edited) Gesca. --- I'm no conspiracy person but frankly, I am astonished that left-wing English Canadians don't know about Gesca. BTW, I am working on a novel. I plan to call it "Two Solitudes". Edited March 3, 2012 by August1991 Quote

Important people do tend to have at least met a lot of other important people.If Harper ever met Desmarais (and we still don't know if they ever met), there's a difference from Paul Martin or Jean Chretien meeting Desmarais.Paul Desmarais made Paul Martin a very, very rich man - and then Paul Martin entered politics. Like Aline, the daughter of Jean Chretien married up - to the son of Paul Desmarais. Mulroney? He met Desmarais before becoming PM, and flew in his plane. But what about Stephen Harper? We don't know, and Harper's from Calgary. Edited March 3, 2012 by August1991 Quote
