week 6 day 4

I have been doing web briefs and calendar work most of the day.
Major assignments have been handed in.
Updates coming should something new develop.

Chrysler getting "owned"

http://www.cbc.ca/money/story/2009/04/30/chrysler-canada-stake.html#socialcomments-submit

Not to dump on this latest plan, but Vale and Xstrata bought Inco and Falconbridge out, and they are still laying off workers.

Also, if Ontario taxpayers own a 2% stake in Chrysler, does that mean we all get a 2% discount on their cars?

Packers fans don't get discounts, and 100,000 of them own their team.
What a waste.
