Ken Georgetti is dreaming, but he’s on the right track: it’s inevitable that there will be some level of accountability for the folks at the top of the food chain as well as the bottom. The only hope is that they all share the same prison cells.
It’s high time we acknowledged a double standard in our criminal justice system. Our federal government vents often about crime in the streets, but never about crime in the suites. Craig Hannaford and Bill Majher, two former RCMP top investigators, recently told Canadian Business magazine that our white collar crime process “is pretty much non-existent.”
Canadians must turn over a new leaf, and demand stronger laws for corporate accountability. Main Street shouldn’t suffer for the duplicity of Bay Street.
The dodgy debt littered through the world financial system is an ongoing problem that needs closer government regulation. As an earlier generation recognized during the Great Depression, our economy can’t be sabotaged by ruthless speculators and pocket-stuffers.
Meanwhile, we need a real public inquiry into the ABCP swindle. We also need government intervention to recover the ill-gotten gains by invisible billionaires who should be charged credit card interest for all the time they had our money.
