The video of Brian’s Dec. 16 appearance on Squeezeplay is available here. Topics included Copenhagen, Canada’s pension problem and Ontario’s decision to look into selling some or all of its Crown corporations. Other guests were Sheila Block, research director, Ontario Federation of Labour, and Monte Solberg, senior advisor, Fleishman-Hillard Canada. Sheila Block clearly doesn’t quite know what to say when I stop her anti-privatisation diatribe with the mild observation that OMERS and other union pension scheme managers have expressed keen interest in buying such assets to improve the retirement prospects of their members… Sauce for the goose and all that.
