  1. Canada's Boyfriend George Stroumboulopoulos has an interview with Arkadi Kuhlmann ING Canada's Chairman see it here http://www.cbc.ca/thehour/videos.html?id=970926236 Watching George and Charlie Rose is usually the best way to close out a weekday!
  2. Northbridge sold Federated Life to Western Financial Group. Bank West is part of Western Financial group. http://www.northbridgefinancial.com/news/closing_of_sale_of_federated_life_insurance_company_of_canada.html All the Western names get confusing.
  3. I'm not wishing a default on CGS BUT i would appreciate an explanation on what would happen with FFH's interest should they default. I understand that the shareholders would be wipped out.
  4. I recently went to Toys r Us and was surprised to see the depth of the Mega Brands products. They seem to have a licensing deals with everyone. The shelf space for Mega toys was about equal to the Lego shelf space. I'm not surprised that they signed another licensing deal.
  5. I'd like to suggest adding two more boards... Suggestions: For user suggestions about the board. Testing: For testing posts or maybe they can be combined into one like "Suggestions & Testing".
  6. I was listening to Howard Stern today on my way to work. I thought it interesting that OSTK is running an add with him. save 10% with http://overstock.com/radio Howard has seen a large portion of his listeners migrate over to Sirus to listen to him. It took a while for major advertisers to follow. I get the impression that OSTK is ramping up their advertising in these tough times.
  7. A few interface things which will take some getting used to aside, this seems like a reasonable forum, and it was easy to set up email notifications and such. Also, I second your plan for the determination of other folders coming down the line. I'm all for splitting out sub boards. I hope it will not get too crazy. For example, the the TDIclub forum http://forums.tdiclub.com/ is a great resource for Volkswagen TDI information BUT it can be way too focused. The nice part about the MSN board was that there was only one board and you only had to look at one place. On a personal note, I would like to see a board about BRK and FFH products. A place to discuss Benjamin Moore, Robertson Screws, Mega Blocks and Jazz Air trips. I guess I'm contradicting myself a bit.
