While we give 15 million Ted Rogers reaches #4 on the Rich List
A few additional notes - fibre optical illusion related..
Rogers Cable 9 (Community Channel) has a program where they discuss the positives of the Fibre Optic deal with 3 supporters and nobody on the panel who was opposed or questioning the deal. That's right - Rogers is part of the alleged consortium - as yet unnamed.
During the program economist for hire - Wade Locke - pointed out that the benefits are "vague and intangible".
And now - Canada's Billionaire List hits the news and guess what?
Ted Rogers has moved from seventh to fourth on the "richest Canadian list" - weighing in at 4.54 BILLION. Maybe the Premier is right - this man can't afford to take such a risk in a "guaranteed" great project without the province contributing a 15 million investment.
