That bankruptcy section looks as large as the remaining history. We should add more info on Canwest's history rather than focus on its death.

==Move request==
I think the article should be renamed "Canwest" (or go back to the old name). Only an admin can do the move, I think. --[[User:Thivierr|Rob]] ([[User talk:Thivierr|talk]]) 21:51, 10 May 2008 (UTC)

I think we can all agree that the company has finally made the sane move and filed for bankruptcy protection after several years of denial and some degree of honest effort on the part of Mr. Asper. Global and the National Post will very likely now be put up for auction. (If you don't like the expression "put up for auction" then all I can say is I'm sorry you're upset but seriously, you might not actually understand what's going on here.)

In light of this situation (i.e. the largest media bankruptcy in Canadian history, which is getting coverage in newspapers worldwide), do you think it might be helpful to expand on the topic beyond the following sentence? (which btw violates wikipedia standards - subject of article is not allowed to edit article on self, whether it's an individual or a corporation).


Hello fellow Wikipedians,
Since October 2009, the company has been operating under creditor protection as part of the process to recapitalize the company.[2][3] <small><span class="autosigned">—Preceding [[Wikipedia:Signatures|unsigned]] comment added by [[User:Mardiste|Mardiste]] ([[User talk:Mardiste|talk]] • [[Special:Contributions/Mardiste|contribs]]) 01:23, 8 October 2009 (UTC)</span></small><!-- Template:Unsigned --> <!--Autosigned by SineBot-->

Imagine a world in which every single person on the planet has free access to the sum of all human knowledge." CanWest goes against the Wiki dream.

CanWest is a company that in British Columbia has a monopoly on the news, but only controls the news (the facts) by not pissing people off, aka not disclosing corruption.


Hello fellow Wikipedians,
It is alleged, that CanWest is bankruptcy ponzi scheme to retain edit control, over Canada's main newspapers and consolidate Canada's two biggest TV networks: CanWest Global TV and Goldman Sachs' Atlantis TV division. CanWest business plan to use chapter 11 to transfer these media assets. Ponzi scheme as, CanWest has a history dealings in the credit market; the result, CanWest's small shareholders(am one) and other providers of services to CanWest, are out. [Have the files. Expert on CanWest accounting. For example as CanWest Securities Commission is Manitoba, this office is backward, does not audit filed financial statements. Note, Canada is the only nation in the entire industrialized world that does not have a federal regulator of securities.] CanWest bankruptcy will have lasting affects on the Canadian free press.

CanWest says 2.3 billion dollar Canadian TV deal with Goldman Sachs favoured the investment bank. One sided deal about controlling Canada's TV free press.

Quote: 5. LONG TERM DEBT (page.12) "On November 18, 2004, the Company completed an exchange offer to exchange a new series of 8% Senior Subordinated notes due 2012 for the outstanding 12 1/8% Senior notes due 2010 issued by the Hollinger Participation Trust. In the exchange offer, the holders of the trust notes received US$1,240 principal amount of new notes in exchange for each US$1,000 of trustnotes. In addition, the Company completed a concurrent offer of notes, proceeds of which were used to retire the 12 1/8% junior subordinated notes held by Hollinger, which had not been participated to the Hollinger Participation Trust. The effect of these transactions replaced the Company’s existing $903.6 million 12 1/8% junior subordinated notes (including accrued interest to November 18, 2004) with new $908.1 million (US$761.1 million) 8% senior subordinated notes."
