I knew this would happen!

No wonder Mr. Prime Minister keeps praising our banks, our financial system etc, he's trying to hide the fact that we've been robbed royally!! Our coffers are empty!!

There's a mystery at the mint. The Royal Canadian Mint that is, where the search is on for a fortune in missing gold, silver and other precious metals.

"The mint has an elaborate security system." What good is that, if the thieves are also the keepers??
Hinting at "sloppy bookkeeping" is not a soother, it is an indication there likely is more sloppiness all around! If they have been searching since before March, it isn't just an oversight in bookkeeping.

And they investigate themselves! This is grand theft if ever there was one! It probably went on for years.

That gold and silver belongs to the Canadian Citizens!

This made me laugh:
What idiots.

dam skippy it will

improve the ability to avoid detection

Has anyone questioned Conrad Black and Bernie Madoff?

Did anyone call in Howdy Doody?

I heard a commentator on NPR say the other day that all the gold ever mined and in circulation would only fill an olympic size swimming pool.

Gold is such an ugly mining process too. Two things I don't and won't ever have - gold and diamonds.

Diamonds are not a rare commodity. But the cartel they set up and the way they're marketed are brilliant. Some day someone will break the diamond cartel

Mint to freeze exec bonuses over missing gold

The Conservative government has instructed the Royal Canadian Mint to withhold all executive bonuses, as a reaction to a report released on Monday which showed $15.3 million worth of missing gold at the Crown corporation cannot be attributed to an accounting error.

They have instructed the mint to withhold bonuses "until the matter is resolved to our satisfaction."

"All along the mint has left open the possibility that gold has been stolen -- a startling admission that seems more likely given this report," said Volpe. "Instead of immediately chasing down all possible leads, the government may have given those responsible the equivalent of a head-start for their get-away."

Corruption is so prevalant! Either it is on the rise, or we hear more about such cases.
What happened to common honesty?

I hope the crooks get caught and punished.
