    Isn't that what Gordon Brown's first budget tax raid on private sector pensions did? where were the commie unions then?

  • Final note: I called CBC with a news tip and was told to contact CBC Vancouver. I told her the story wasn't local and that I wanted to speak with someone at CBC Newsworld (national).

I asked for her name. She refused to provide me with it and told me she was hanging up.

From Vancouver, I watched short segments on CNN and extensive coverage on BBC World (The Hub).

  • Good luck to all of you!
