Nope, I got nothin’ original to add — reckoned two lousy puns would be enough.

    It’s amazing (though not surprising) that Ramirez can dissect this issue in a one-panel cartoon more thoroughly than all of the mainstream media sources.

    The ‘toon points out one thing other sources never mention.

    1993 – Bain invests $100M

    1994 (one year later) – GST revenues of $1B (nice ROI) and the company is an industry leader in steel rods and cooking along nicely and then …

    1997 (three years later) – SHAZAM – a labour strike

    2001 ( four years later) – bankrupt

    Well done to the union!! (Of which poor Mr Soptic is an enthusiastic member of course…)

    Doug, this is a terrific graphic, both in the visual and in fact presentation.

    There’s something broken with the link though….

    What Stilton (1), said, dubble!
    LOTF (2), Interesting that we have to read a ‘toon to find out the
    timeline & truth about GST.
    I don’t think the dumbocraps & Obamanauts will read byond the
    1st 5 arrow points on the horns. When they get to the word ‘Bain’
    They’ll instantly avoid any more & go look for something about
    how wunnerful their ‘savior’ is!
