That is interesting that Peter Bentley's family is the major shareholder in Canfor.

It just shows you what the Big Lie technique can do. It has been said so often on here that I thought Jimmy Patison was the owner of Canfor. I wonder if there will be some more blame leveled at Jimmy today for whatever happens. I suspect it is just a union thing where people are supposed to say such things just to belong.

Bad Jimmy!

"Bad Jimmy", your right there Yama. He likes to pretend that he is a christian. His God is the dollar bill.

Cheers

I think they should've said that Peter Bentley's family is "a" major shareholder in Canfor. Jimmy, and some eastern Canadian investment firm each apparently now own more shares than the Bentley's do.

I don't think any of them have to worry where their next meal might be coming from, even if they're not eligible for EI.

Jimmy is, and always has been, a "show-off" IMHO. He wants other people to look at him as one of the 'rich and famous', and "his God", whether it's the dollar bill or the Man upstairs, is just a means to that end.

He likes to be 'noticed'. Whether it's trying to make himself stand out in a crowd, as he used to do at the GM car dealer's conventions by dressing in some garish suit, or by hiring ex-President Ronald Reagan to speak to his underlings, or lending out his yacht to George Bush, Sr. and John Major, or touring Oprah Winfrey around the coast on it, it's all for "show".

"Look at me", he's saying, " I'm Jimmy Pattison. I'm 'important.'" The little tough guy who used to fire the car salesman with the lowest monthly sales, even though the poor bugger was only on straight commission and didn't cost him anything anyways.

The guy who owns Frank Sinatra's Hollywood mansion, and John Lennon's Rolls-Royce, (the one with the paint job that looked like the painter had overdosed on LSD, or something), and Glenn Clark, too.

Well, Jimmy, if bedding down where "Ol' Blue Eyes" once slept, and having a used car that once hauled John and Yoko, and being charitable by re-employing the perpetually politically inept is your thing, good on you. Each to their own, I say, and if you want to flaunt your wealth this way, if that's what turns your crank, go to 'er.

But when you use that wealth to dictate to a little farmer owned co-operative creamery, long noted for providing quality dairy products, locally produced, and fresh, that you won't put their milk in the Overwaitea stores you now own unless they discount it way below what they charge the little 'mom and pop' grocery, NOT so you can pass ALL the discount on to Overwaitea customers, but just to drive those 'mom and pops' under and make more dough yourself, well, Jimmy, that's just about where somebody ought to reduce you to the size you really are.

Well said Socredible and a very accurate analysis.

Bad Jimmy!
