Elmwood School Bus paid for by Wilan?

[shareholders1]

...in 2014 Wilan's profit was about 9m, but had an 18m loss in 2013.

Also, Wilan's deficit in 2014 was over $200m. Also had about $100m tax losses, so any "donation" could not result in tax savings.

When you hear Elmwood Private School, the Elmwood bus, the Bill's, relocation from Calgary etc., it's a signal that these posters probably have an agenda. Best we all keep our eyes on the ITS and Apple prizes. QTRH is being dealt some really good

One of the few rights shareholders have is to elect the BoD Cabbie: "it's a signal that these posters probably have an agenda. Best we all keep our eyes on the ITS and Apple prizes. QTRH is being dealt some really good cards right now." I do not have a very long history or agenda, but I caution that people with valid complaints are sometimes too quickly dismissed as 'having an

Shareholders, I totally agree with your post and with your statement, "But we are shareholders, and one of the few rights shareholders have is to elect the BoD." I've always voted for BoD and other motions on the AGM agenda since I've held this stock - usually for, but not always.  Usually about one-third of shares cast votes.  The overwhelming majority of votes cast
