Wonderful News, Fellow Canadians!

And, do you know what? The very next day, on Nov. 23, the Liberal government -- in which Brison was the minister of public works as well as the receiver-general of Canada -- announced it would not be taxing income trusts. And sure enough, just as Brison had predicted on Nov. 22, that made the banker happy indeed. But amazingly, Brison did not know what his own government was planning to do when he made his bold prediction! Indeed, Brison said last week, he had absolutely no advance knowledge about what the government's announcement on income trusts would be. He just made a lucky guess, based on public and media speculation at the time. http://torontosun.canoe.ca/News/Columnists/Goldstein_Lorrie/2006/03/11/1483561.html [Proofreader's note: this article was edited for spelling and typos on March 15, 2006]
