Oxymoron of the day:
The state-run CBC, a BILLION-dollar per year taxpayer-funded pure socialist outfit run (for no good reason at all whatsoever) by liberals appointed by Liberal politicians to promote biased-left-wing news and various anti-conservative leftist causes (which it does extremely effectively—ahh, there’s the reason), reports on business. Bank business.
Get it?
Yes. Anyway, at the state-run people’s web site, the multi-million-dollar CBC.ca which includes videos on boys getting their testicles waxed and shows quasi-pornographic video shorts, anti-Harper flicks and sundry other anti-conservative, leftist thought memes, the socialists report in their “Business section” (are ya gettin’ the humor here folks?) that the Royal Bank’s 2006 first-quarter profits rose 19%. 
I love it when corporate profits rise, being a free-enterprise-loving, capitalist-loving Canadian. And I dig the Canadian humor of it all—the corporate profits being reported by a state-run socialist government outfit.
Of course my glee is tempered by the fact that this is the bank that seems bent on promoting liberal-leftist causes. For example, they made a bank loan to a doctor working for abortion mill operator Dr. Henry Morgentaler in the 1980s to open an illegal abortion clinic (then later apologized); they refused to open a bank account for a group that was against the Gay Games in Montreal as a matter of principle; and this was the bank that was forced to reverse its decision advocating that employees, as a sign of solidarity with homosexuals and apparently to enforce tolerance and acceptance, display gay-pride rainbow stickers at their workstations. In a company newsletter, the company told its employees to “be supportive” of “gay, lesbian and bisexual issues.” (The newsletter went on to imply that unsupportive co-workers are homophobic and won’t be tolerated.)
So there’s that.
