    this is how China makes in roads and influences our politicians. it will work. as some CISIS person said back a decade ago, they were concerned about China's "relationship" with some politicians.

    No foreign entity ought to be at these conferences.

    I love the always obscure, cryptic analysis from you, Ross.
    But do I not/maybe/possibly detect a double negative in the current headline?
    Love your posts...please don't stop :-)

    Bob Mackin is wondering who runs "Canada Strong and Proud".

    I'm wondering if it's the same group that ran "Ontario Proud"?

    As Lew points out it's not just China, which is the low hanging fruit that Mikey-Mike was willing to pluck. The bigger issue is that these fine folks feel that it's OK to sell acccess to absolutely anyone. Note that all on Lew's list could benefit from UBCM decisions.

    This is much, much more than straight-up advertising.

    This is something I plan to watch and note over the next 17 weeks or so.

    Canadaland has been doing a good job following the various entities of this type...

    Just got cell phone spammed by a "BC Strong" push poll.

    Do you agree we must build pipelines to export Canadian oil?
