There's a movement to radically change California government, by getting rid of career politicians and chopping their salaries in half. A group known as Citizens for California Reform wants to make the California legislature a part time time job, just like it was until 1966.

Russia is spending hundreds of billions buying canadian gold and dollars knowing that the Canadian Economy will be one of the few left standing due to its incredible Natural Resource Wealth and minor/modest population.
Long as Canada does not blow it by giving away too much to refugees, immigrants and canadians of convenience, multiculturalism, and the official languages act, that country should do just fine. And a big bonus is not having the Juarez drug lords at your southern border and having to worry about that every day.

I would expect more extensions given the fundamental differences between CCAA law and Chapter-11 law. I highly doubt that US based bondholders and creditors will blindly accept different treatment for Canadian creditors.

Yeah, I'd like to know if lightbulbs are being reinstalled, badge access is working flawlessly, as usual, and most of all, is Lean Six Sigma being adhered to religiously! I find it strange that Avaya would be looking outside for LSS skills?

• Senior, experienced executive... - yup
• Proven ability to leverage.... sure
• Responsible for championing ... can do
• Provide leadership... whatever.. wait!.. to most strategic process improvement programs based on Lean Six Sigma expert-level skills and experience (been there, done that)

"Been there, done that" has been Nortel's slogan for a while now. Everytime it was tucked into a financial MRI and the results came back "positive" (which was a "negative" thing, see?) the brass poo-pooed "Been there, done that, positively"

•... increase process speed, eliminate waste, reduce variation and improve customer satisfaction

Ship it all to China, fast. Next.

• Ability to work in a fast-paced, sometimes ambiguous environment

If Nortellians have experience with anything, its an ambiguous environment.
