In Egregious Privacy Breach Attracts Little Attention, Calgary Herald writer Karin Klassen sums up FATCA well in one word;
“Whew”
She also describes the situation well in just a few words:
“Stephen Harper has handed over the ransom.”
Thank you Ms. Klassen for trying to understand and report on this complex issue.
I posted at Isaac Brock and sent a thank you letter to The Editor of the Calgary Herald and to Karin Klassen (for whom I couldn’t find an email).
“Whew” is right!

Ms Klassen’s article should open some eyes in the Calgary oil sector. I think she did a really good job in a very short article. She managed to point out the salient facts without diving too deep – just enough information for people to take notice, and then go investigating for themselves.
