Hi Lonnie and all: <As it would be very hard to prove that Baines intentionally tries to manipulate the stock price I think one way to put pressure on would be to contact the Vancouver Sun and complain to them. They are ultimatly responsible for printing the article. He has a weekly Saturday column and they are all the same. I would like to see his trading records.> You make a good point here and by complaining directly to the people in a position to make a difference, an investigation into the matter could prove that this was an intentionally slanted article. For all those that feel strongly about this as I do you can write to: Hollinger Inc. 10 Toronto St. Toronto, Ont. M5C 2B7 phone:416-363-8721 or 416-980-4111 Ask for Conrad Black or Paul Howard. Pacific Press, a Division of Southam Inc, publishes the Vancouver Sun and the Province. The Southam chain publishes 33 daily newspapers of which the Vancouver Sun is the largest. Southam is majority owned by Hollinger Inc. Conrad Black owns Hollinger Inc. and is the majority shareholder in Southam Inc. The CIBC recently bought 9% of Hollinger Inc. Conrad Black has been called the world's leading press baron and is said to hold strong views and values. He does advance the cause of Canadian business and no doubt he would not approve of this type of reporting and the damage it can do to a reputable, hard working emerging company. If enough expressed concern is directed to Hollinger Inc. it could make a difference. Regards, Bonnie
