Moar digs on Bronfman family.
This one is interesting….
(From 1978)
~The Bronfmans of Sam’s time defined the Canadian
Establishment’s limits beyond which it was not pre-
pared to go; Sam’s children not only belong to that
Establishment, they transcend it. The only Canadian
financial dynasty that operates in a similarly rarefied
financial atmosphere is the Eaton clan of Toronto,
whose members retain private ownership over all the
shares in its huge retailing operation. Yet in the mid-
1970s, when the time came for the department store
heirs to erect their most expensive and most innovative;
outlet — the $250-million first phase of the Eaton Cen-
tre in downtown Toronto — they sought the bulk of their
financing not from their own coffers but from the Bronf-
mans of Montreal, who were cut in for 60 per cent and
now have effective control over the mammoth develop-
ment. The transaction symbolized perfectly the shift in
clout between Canada’s two larger fortunes.*

I remember when the Eaton's Heiress, Nancy Eaton, was stabbed 21 times in her apartment in Yorkdale, on January 21st, 1985. They blamed it on Andrew Leyshon-Hughes, who was a member of the prominent Canadian Osler family. He was found not guilty by reason of insanity. I wonder if he attended McGill? Or was it a cover-up for someone else who committed the crime? She was nice. She didn't deserve that.
