    50% of his ships are flag-of-convenience ships, and his Barbadaos loophole was quickly followed by CSL\'s opertaions expanding there --as duly noted by Wendy Mesley & Co. on CBC\'s great show, \"Disclosure.\"

    I like how he didn\'t even address the part of a lady\'s question where she asked if Martin thought it would be better to spend whatever Canada is going to spend on Star Wars on the social programs he gutted (her words) as finance minister. I laughed pretty hard at that.

    Indeed I think things are getting interesting, I\'m not sure what\'s happening with the press, I mean they are actually revealing this info; is there some hidden agenda?
    Let\'s just hope it keeps going, I really like the momentum, maybe someone will dare to ask question about the mulroney years?

    Yes, and according to the lady asking the question she said CSL only paid some 5% taxes, when the average for corporations is supposed to be around 40%.
