From our resident full time sleuth striking fear into the bank books of the Branconnier family everywhere comes this report: (post #17634 on Yahoo!). As a backgrounder, please keep in mind that Rene cried at the reopening of Hamilton claiming that he had sold his home to support Thermo Tech. We now know that this is not the case at all and he still owns the property -- and it is a nice one at that. The following comments/facts are not in any way my own:
=================================
Mr. Branconnier,
Without Prejudice
Through some of my contacts in Vancouver I have learned that you live quite the opulent lifestyle. I am sure that many would appreciate you (Rene) clearing up a few small details that were brought to my attention.
1- that you went from a small 600,000 house to that almost 7 million dollar house in about 2 years. Can you explain how this all came about?
2- that you have a stable of fine automobiles, including a new Navistar, a Corvette, and 3 or 4 others. Could you verify this?
3- that you bought your daughter a house for a wedding gift, at a cost of about 1.5 million dollars. Was it more or less than this? Just curious.
4- that you like to tell people that all of this came about because of "good investments?" If so, would you be kind enough to expand upon this, and clarify for the world how this all came into being?
Could we count on IR to tell us the truth about all this? Can a few us phone you tomorrow for some answers? I think that the TTRIF shareholders have a right to know the truth!
