Dear Conrad BlackThe Toronto Tribune, a Canadian publication, like many you once owned, wants to wish you all the best for your uncertain future and offer some advice. Though in honesty some of your decisions, well let's just say we wouldn't have made them. A few years ago you rescinded your Canadian citizenship in order to be called a four-letter word. Many have suggested that was an unwise decision. We don't. After all should you receive a stiff sentence then your prison peers may well have other 4-letter words for you. It is apparently something that you enjoy and that will serve you well as incarceration looms ahead. You'll always be Conrad to us. We won't call anyone a four-letter words in this online monthly magazine. Another side effect of your decision to leave Canadian citizenship behind is you will not have access to the reciprocal agreement between Canada and your likely to be permanent home for an unknown time period, the United States. If you had remained a Canadian, you would have access to Club Fed as your lawyer Eddie Greenspan described it in court, while questioning Radler. "Do you know William Head is called ‘Club Fed ’ in Canada? Did you know it’s got 86 acres of maintained grounds and until recently had a miniature golf course?" It sounds like a vacation paradise, it's too bad one has to commit a crime to enjoy the luxurious future not open to you. One of your many achievements, was launching the right-wing National Post daily newspaper in Toronto. You are right-wing. The conservative ideology believes in small government, fiscal accountability and personal responsibility. Conrad, you may well receive the golden opportunity to live your beliefs. In the United States penal system you could be one of the few to experience the US version of Universal health care. As a conservative, Conrad, you will certainly appreciate that it is the lowest cost of treatment for the dollar. That is fiscal responsibility and limited government involvement at work. In Canada should you need medical care it is the finest available for the dollar with the opportunity for a second opinion. A bureaucrat, albeit a prison bureaucrat, will stand between a prisoner and their treatment. That is something George W. Bush fears with universal health and it is one reason that he and the Republican party oppose universal health care for Americans. Our advice is to seek medical care for any and all ailments before you enter the US penal system. You may not like this but unlike the Canadian universal health care system dental care is provided to prison inmates. Obviously this waste of government resources will be of issue to you. Of course you could refuse to accept any and all dental treatment standing on your conservative principles. The Toronto Tribune would applaud you for having the courage of your convictions. The cheapest way to deal with toothache is to extract it. That may not be your wish, but it is the lowest cost for the American taxpayer. Conrad, you have a tremendous skill set. This could be a golden opportunity for you to advocate for the destitute that predominantly are housed in the US prison system. The Toronto Tribune doesn't advise you to alter your long-held beliefs. We do suggest that you use this opportunity to use your voice. Conservatives are not excluded from volunteer work or helping the less fortunate because of the tenets of their ideology. They simply oppose the government stepping in. Seize the moment. Best wishes for your future, The Toronto Tribune |
