This is kind of an Off Topic type post, but as it's all Canadian I didn't think the Lounge would really be a good place for it... So here it is in East Canada thread. Hope thats ok.

So if you follow financial stuff at all, you know who Kevin O'Leary is, he's on Dragons Den as well as SqueezePlay on BNN etc...

They did a mock Dragons Den on the National last night and had Buzz Hargrove come out and talk about the Canadian auto sector needing a bail out... Here is the vid, it's pretty good.

The finale to this is on Fridays national where they discuss where to put the money.

You can watch the whole thing here: http://www.cbc.ca/national/blog/spec...e_pitches.html

I found this quite interesting as I'm quite wrapped into the financial sector / economics. Just thought I would share if you missed it.

 

great link... i sent it to some of our execs..

 

the girl representing the student's federation was a train wreck

 

hah sad, but great. I'll send this around at work tomorrow, some of the PM's are big into the Dragon's.

 

The results are not surprising at all. I love Kevin comparing the auto industry to buzz like a dieing grandmother. Pull the tubes and let that grandmother die buzz. hahahah...
