Trans Mountain pipeline owner asks regulator to hide identity of its insurers
- Thread starter Zeedox

Forgive my ignorance on this, but:
Since Trans Mountain is government owned, isn't there something in Canada like the Freedom of Information Act we have here? In other words, being government owned means it's accountable to the people, hence you're not supposed to be able to hide things like that.
It would be sort of like our Social Security Department refusing to tell you which doctors were eligible for you to see.

Which is why the Board is asking for the government to excuse the FOI request. My fear is, while the liberal government is the lessor or two evils, he will still grant this item.
It should ensure another minority government at least.
I think it's more akin to the US Government not telling you who is financially backing (and how) your social security funds. Imagine the uproar IF you found out your social security funding was being handle by Deutsche bank via loans...
They'll get insured no matter what. Trust me on that. There's too much money to be made.
Know what companies are doing now to offset their insurance costs? They're taking out life insurance policies on their employees. It's not what you think it is though.
They take out life insurance policies with themselves listed as the beneficiary. No shit. When the employee dies the company gets a payday because of their loss of that employee and what it costs to replace them. They then use the payments on those policies as write offs to cut the bills on their indemnity and other insurance policies and pocket the payoffs.
Trust me guys the only business more corrupt than politics is insurance. We make the fucking illegal drug trade look honorable.

Come to think of it, I seem to recall a big stink about that sort of thing involving Wal-Mart years ago. A lady's husband had died on the job and Wal-Mart made 10's of thousands of dollars on it and the lady got nothing.
Hush or they'll be hippos in Florida

That's funny because I read not long ago that they were excited about how it was giving hippos a new sanctuary.
I guess which way you see it depends on if you like hunting big game or not.
That's exactly it dude. Same shit. They've been doing it for years.
I live in Nebraska so it's no sweat on my back man. I'd like to see a hippo try to last one winter up here.
