    last Wed.July 22/09, the floundering Canwest did some more layoffs which never made the headlines.
    Departments affected were in Marketing, Specialty TV & Conventional, rumors swirling that more are to come on Aug.31/09.
    all this happening while Leonards brother is buying a CFL stadium (???) & sister asking for more government money for their Human Rights museum. What have these Asper kids done to the Asper Empire?

    They clearly think highly of the little burg. Or, they just realize that every two-to-three years they can set up camp for another giant “fire” story.
