Like most militaries, the Canadian Armed Forces (CAF) has a chaplaincy corps where people provide spiritual care to the members of the armed forces. Because the armed forces is composed of people from general society, members of the chaplaincy corps can also be members of a variety of faiths and beliefs. This can make for... Continue Reading →
General Update – Feb 9, 2022
On Jan 5, 2015 DP Schiemann misled the public by declaring a “sufficient cash flow shortage” as opposed to "we took your money, put it in some speculative real estate / business ventures, told everyone their money was safe, and then we ran out of depositor funds." Today my webpage monitoring software "bing"ed to let... Continue Reading →

CEF/DIL Updates – Oct 27, 2021
Hi Gang - Yes, I've been gone for a bit. Repeatedly pointing out LCC's ongoing and unrepentant bad behavior has gotten rather tedious so I've been working on other things. However - when news like this comes up, I had to fire up the old editor to get the word out. First - Sage Properties... Continue Reading →
Paying The Price Of Your Convictions
When the government announced a general lockdown ("two weeks to slow the spread" as the US gov't put it) people took it in stride because it's something the government did for our good. When shutdowns continued and brought with it the cessation of in-person services, I read a number of articles discussing pros and cons... Continue Reading →
A Refresh on CEF, DIL, SVM, and Related Matters
With COVID 19 making a mess of things, the long delay since we'd last heard from Deloitte Restructuring, Sage, and KPMG, along with some accidental comments on past articles pertaining to "where are things" and "I've waited long enough for my money", I thought it'd be a good time for a refresh on where everything...

CEF/DIL: The Wheels of Justice Grind Slowly
It's said that the wheels of justice turn slowly because of how fine they grind. This is a good thing because a just system needs to correctly discern the good from evil so it can protect the good while holding the evil to account. Almost eight months ago in Sept 2019 the ASC settled with... Continue Reading →
CEF/DIL: Monitor’s 38th Report – Update
In my prior post "CEF/DIL: Monitor's 38th Report" I surmised that this report pertained to an upcoming court case. I now believe that analysis is inaccurate because if you look at the report, it's dated Nov 26, 2019. My guess is that this report was originally generated and submitted to the Court last fall /...

CEF/DIL: Monitor’s 38th Report
Just when I turned in for the night, my alerting system told me Deloitte'd published their 38th report to their website. This report was created to support a forthcoming application to the Court, as I'd discussed in "CEF: Deloitte Calling!" This report pertains to the Representative Actions and not a future distribution. Hopefully that'll appear... Continue Reading →
The LCC / ASC Settlement and the Cost of Litigation
In the article My Response to the ABC District BOD Letter Regarding the ASC Settlement / Part 2 of 3 I posited some cost/benefit reasons why ABC District et al decided to settle vs going to trial.
