Canadian Elite (Money-wise, Don't Know Their Personal Habits)

For no reason at all, I checked out Canada’s richest people. I wanted to see what businesses they operate. There really isn’t a reason for this post, other than to disseminate information. The rankings are based on Forbes magazine’s annual list. Kenneth Thomson is the richest man in Canada, and the 13th richest in the world. Here is a summary of what that company is all about.

Galen Weston is the second richest Canada, and supposedly Canada’s nearest thing to royalty. Read his bio here (including this interesting line: "Their six sisters received nothing.")

And apparently, his wife is Ontario’s lieutenant-governor. She also survived an IRA kidnapping attempt in 1983. Oh, the troubles of those crazy billionaires (I don’t mean to trivialize kidnapping, by the way).

At #3 is the Irving brothers, James, Arthur and John. Here’s a bio about their company, which has proven to be innovative in areas such as the environment, while also being severely criticized for their mismanagement of -- well, the environment.
