About that UI issue

Interesting. I went digging for the Ottawa Citizen article in this morning's hardcopy edition on Unemployment Insurance only to find that the link to that article on the front page of the Citizen website was badly coded as of 7:40 AM and leads to a "Bad Request" page.

There's a reference in that article to comments in favour of the proposed changes to our UI system by spokespeople from a group called the Canadian Federation of Independent Business. Here's their Wikipedia page, FWIW.

The page alleges that its founder back in 1971 was one John Bulloch...whose own Wiki page claims him to be a current member of the Georgia State Senate, a claim apparently confirmed by that legislative body's own web service. No direct link And that's all that's present on that Wiki page, again as of 7:40 AM this morning. No direct confirmation that he ever lived in Canada on the Georgia State Senate page, mind you.

He claims Republican affiliation, representing Georgia's 11th District.

If it's indeed the same guy, I'd be interested to know more about the linkages.

I've just had my lack of research made clear to me elsewhere on the net. Definitely not the same guy.
