Konrad's new Kareer

This is a bit "inside baseball" but fun (at least for me).

The new Chair of the CRTC is Konrad Von Finckenstein. Konrad used to run the Competition Bureau where I thrice worked. The man is seen there as a force of nature . Big, imposing, brilliant, full of ideas and willing to pursue those ideas to fruition. Aggressively.

The CRTC and the Competition Bureau have, shall we say, mandates based on contrary philosophies. Konrad embodies the Competition Bureau philosohy not the CRTC philosophy.
This move by Harper, Bernier and Oda is best described as "putting the cat among the canaries."

I imagine it's a tough time to work at the CRTC.
