Poor guy, he was spent his whole life struggling to get there, then when he does, he sucks at it.

He does suck at it, no doubt about that, but I don't know that he's been struggling to get there his whole life. He also collects boats.
|
Didn't Martin get those boats as a gift from Paul Desmarais of Power Corp who just happens to be close to former Prime Minister.Jean Cretien whose daughter married one of the Desmarais?
|
Laugh, yeah that's it. Someone just gave him a fleet of tankers and a business that brings in hundreds of millions of dollars a year.
I don't know anything about how he got into the business or paid for the boats but I'm quite certain he paid for them somehow.
My point was that he was a businessman, and a pretty succesful one at that, before he got into politics. That he wasn't some career politician, pining away for decades as a backbencher and policy hack until he got his current gig, as was suggested. [/b][/quote]
Mr. Dithers is in fact one of the richest people in North America. He is a shipping tycoon.....
WHO......
Go figure for a LIBERAL....
Has his ships under a foreign country's flag so as to avoid paying the taxes...
he imposes on the rest of the 'unwashed' in Canada.
BTW: Great move businesswise. The taxes in Canada are horrendous. A tad....hypocritical for a politician.
