    According to CBC’s The Fifth Estate, Brian Mulroney and Karlheinz Schreiber’s relationship began in the early 1980’s through Mulroney’s emergence as a force in the Tory party. Although this is when their relationship began, both parties have very different views as to what their relationship is. According to the Honorable Jeffrey J Oliphant, Mr. Schreiber came to believe that he and Mr. Mulroney had become friends however Mr. Schreiber is deluding himself if he believes that Mr. Mulroney was ever a close friend. Evidence provided in the Commission report suggests that meetings took place between Mr. Schreiber and Mr. Mulroney particularly twice during Mr. Mulroney’s final month in office: once on June 3, 1993, and again on June 23, 1993. Through this relationship, Schreiber ended up giving Mulroney sums of money that were allegedly taken from the ‘dirty’ money profit from the Airbus agreement with Air Canada. When Airbus was investigated, Mulroney and Schreiber’s relationship evolved into a 15 year investigation leading to one of the longest scandals in Canadian history.…

    Should Harry Stonecipher have been fired for having a consensual affair with another executive at Boeing Aircraft? The answer is most decidedly yes. In many people’s eyes this affair could have violated the company’s code of conduct, and went against the reason Harry Stonecipher was hired. His actions showed flaws in his character that could have been damaging to the company had he been allowed to stay. The Boeing board of directors had no other choice than to tender Mr. Stonecipher’s resignation.…

    1. As an individual company in a capitalist society, yes, a company should be allowed to choose where it locates it’s production. Plain and simple, according to the ideas of capitalist society. Now looking at whether or not that decision is morally right or wrong has no bearing in a capitalist society. It is all about getting the most bang for your buck. As stated in the text, “Companies try to lower operating costs in order to raise profits or cut prices and win market share, not out of selfless desire to benefit customers.” I agree wholeheartedly. Also, the higher ups in a large corporation such as Boeing have very little connection to the lower workers that actually produce their product, thus separating them emotionally. As they say “Empathy…
