Thanks for that. Your one sentence did a better job of summing up what was going on than the whole article. I wish he could have worked it into the story at some point, so that the rest of us could figure out what he was talking about.
I can guarantee that there isn't a person in Canada that reads the National Post that doesn't know who Conrad Black is. I actually appreciate that they didn't waste my time with any backstory. I think in this day and age people can google shit if they want backstory.
