who employs me
I am a staff writer with CTV.ca News. That operation is part of CTV News, which is of course nestled into CTV Inc. and CTVglobemedia.

I don't speak for my employer on this blog. I don't comment about the internal affairs of my employer.

Any views expressed here are my own.

But who do they speak for?

View Article  I shall overcome: Black

From CP via CTV.ca:

Conrad Black pledged Friday he will return to professional life even if he is handed a jail sentence for fraud and obstruction of justice, saying any time behind bars would "compound the injustice'' of his criminal trial.

"Even on a worse case, I'll be back,'' Black said Friday in an interview with BBC Radio 4's Today program. ...

He has also pointed to the fact that he was acquitted of 12 charges, vowing to get rid of the remaining four on appeal.*

* I seem to remember Black being convicted on four of 13 charges. Tonight's CBC.ca story reported Black as being convicted on four of 13, so somebody is wrong.

"It has been my honour to show the shortcomings of the plea bargain system and the shortcomings of the corporate governance zealots,'' Black told the BBC.

Any time served behind bars, he added, would mean he is "merely participating in compounding the injustice, which will be the accepted fact of this case before too long.''
