How to Preserve Wealth in a Socialist Economy

Yellowhead: "Thanks! I like the fact that you have nearly zero crime."

(btw have you ever been on the Yellowhead route?)

Today's Vancouver Sun (February 17):

"METRO VANCOUVER — Another daylight shooting on the streets of Surrey left a young woman dead Monday. Her four-year-old son in the back seat was not hit.

The woman was driving south on 148th Street at 96th Avenue at about 10:30 a.m. when her Cadillac was sprayed with gunfire on the driver’s side."

Yellowhoard - my advice to you is - do some research (read some Canadian press and a few of the many books on US-Canadian cultural differences). Go there for an extended visit, away from the obvious tourist places, and immerse yourself in living Canadian. IMO it's unlikely that you would be happy in Canada unless you have some deeper attachment to the country than ideology or economic fear. Also it's c-c-c-old.

Banks Forgiving Mortgage Principle: Reward for Bad Behavior?

In this context, the word you want to use is principal, not principle. Yet another demonstration of the weaknesses of spell checkers - correct spelling, wrong word.

William Ackman of Pershing Square: We Erred in Buying AIG Post-Bailout

" a modest loss to the funds " was actually a substantial loss on the funds' AIG positions. He lost the majority of the funds' AIG investment. Very quickly. He is minimizing that disaster by placing it in a convenient for him (if we swallow it) and utterly irrelevant context (overall fund performance). An honest assessment would be "Yup, I f*d up on that one."
