Some two weeks ago, The Saskatoon Star Phoenix published an article mentioning that the future of the province relies on the development of Nuclear Energy. Then, few days later, I came to know that Don Ching resigned from SaskTel to become the President and CEO of Cogema Resources, a French subsidiary of Areva, the nuclear company owned by the French government.[2] As I learned of these two news stories I commented to my wife Sharon | |||||||
"We are going to have the StarPhoenix teaming up with Don Ching to peddle the development of uranium mining and nuclear energy in Saskatchewan." |
|||||||
On Monday I have the confirmation of this commercial
teaming up as I read the article "Politics hamper Crowns: Ching."[3]
Don Ching was a former labour lawyer and law partner of former premier Roy Romanow. So, Don Ching give us the impression that it is fine for him to regress from a labour lawyer to a nuclear marketeer but it is not fine for Saskatchewan to have commercial enterprises to evolve and satisfy social objectives as well. Don Ching also states that
In this respect Don Ching suggests that his
old company SaskTel should broaden its geographical boundaries and be successful
in the same way as his new French owned company operates in Northern Saskatchewan.
