Conrad Black, who was pardoned for a federal crime committed in the U.S., accused Mark Carney of having poor values. Black embodies the moral bankruptcy of conservatism on both sides of the border.
Thank you for this deep research! Thank you for tying in Pierre Poilievre and the Conservative movement. For more on (moron?) Epstein, read Craig Unger's book American Kompromat. It is disgusting what has happened to Canadian press and they will NOT divulge their neo-liberal and Fraser Institute embedded staff.
Conrad Black, isn't that the guy who had the high standards of marrying and divorcing several women, renounced his Canadian citizenship so he could become a Lord in Britain, was caught cheating in business and had to go to jail, bought up escapes in Canada so he could get only the kind of news he approved up and exemplified white privilege?
Just what kind of values are we talking about here?
I have despised Conrad Black since he tried to raid the Dominion Store's pension fund, although some good came out of that in that there is a legal way for an oversubscribed pension fund to be split between a company, members of it's pension fund and its future pension obligations. I continue to believe that this scum of the earth should never have been allowed back into Canada.
I wish journalists and pundits like David Cochrane and others at CBC or likewise would grow a Dougald size set of balls to report on these connections exposing how our "media" in Canada has been totally hijacked by "conservative" right wing grifters and propagandists.
A very revealing, and damming I might add, article. I was not aware of the extent of the moral rot in the ‘Black Circle of Friends, Criminals and Perverts’. Interesting to observe neatly tucked in at the end of the rogue’s gallery snapshot, one rather ‘nunnish looking’ Marlaina Danielle Smith. Politics do indeed make strange bedfellows!
Another great article Dougald! It is so important to document the ties and put a bright light on the sleeve and corruption of the Trumpistas and their ilk.
Conrad Black first entered my radar in the 80s when he bought Dominion stores and then stole their pensions. A co-worker's father was caught in that. A 20 year employee left with no seniority.
It astounds me tha anyone is stupid enough to still read the bloviating SFB who must have had it written into the contract upon the sale of the Post that he be gifted a little space there for his rambling diatribes because the idea of somenoe who parlayed an inherited fortune into bankruptcy and a felon conviction and free room.and board for seveal years in a US federal penal institution offering financial advice - to the brain dead? - is the funniest thing I can imagine. CBC should give a permanenr spot on "THIS HOUR HAS 22 MINUTES" to hare his prodigious vocabulary with the rest of Canada, a land he loved to trash until no other would let him in. Among his more infamous utterances he said Lunda McQuuag should be horsewhipped. I immediately began reading everything the journalist wrote and I admit to having the ex-Lord of Crossharbour to thank for the recommendation.

I thought Conrad Black was dead and buried long ago! Thanks Dougald for reminding us that this collection of sleazebags is still out there.

Thank you Mr. Lamont!
Can I share this insightful substack on the conservative movement in North America on facebook to my friends?
Please do!
Of course. Share away.

Black condemning anyone’s values is really rich and why any decent print news give him this platform…… oh right, he founded the paper.
