Excerpt:
Then the next logical question is “who has the connections to pull off something like this”? The answer can be found by looking at the corporate directors of Quebecor Media: Françoise Bertrand, who is a former head of the Canadian Radio-television and Telecommunications Commission (the Canadian equivalent of the FCC). She wrote many of the regulations the CRTC now uses, what better person to help you get around them than the person who wrote them. The other major name is former Conservative Prime Minister Brian Mulroney, who practically couldn’t have any more connections in the government and big business.
I am confident that this is real fate of the state owned broadcaster. QMI has already put in a bid for Time-Warner which is one of two major owners of US media. They are also comping at the big for Rupert Murdoch to go down, and he will, enough powerful people want him down. That would mean QMI would own a good chunk of the media in China. I would not be surprised if QMI purchased his assets. We are very close to one global corporate owned media.
