Geo, nothing solid only hearsay from my American friends spending summers here. Size of salary was a big part of it. (Like my own turn-off of the Clintons' piling it up: commoners would consider a fortune for a 20-minute speech.) I'm taking some proprietorship here because I wrote twice to LaPierre---possibly the first copied on our forum---and briefed our MP, justice and defence minister, for his meeting with McCain. Our MP was big help in ridding us of the long-gun registry. (Ollie North interesting in that he tried to set up a parallel government under Reagan.)
