Nice touch to not promise anybody a profit -- otherwise you'd run afoul of securities law.

I saw that letter as I read the Gazette on Saturday... figures he's a fellow Café patron. :) Glad to know I'm alone up here in Montreal!

The letter lacks a smooth elision from the idea of a certain number of employees "lending" him $25 each to the idea that his is to be a tax-subsidized effort.

Damn--I started out thinking it was awful uppity of him only letting employees get in on the good deal. What about me? Even now that he's got it to the point that ever'body's got to pay up, I'm still gettin' excluded--all because I'm not Canadian.

Some people just don't know how to play fair.

What a great letter! After five years living there, I can hardly believe there is anyone in Montreal this sane. I tip my hat to you, M Descôteaux.
