Denise Hearn and Vass Bednar’s “The Big Fix”

The Canadian national identity involves a lot of sneering at the US, but when it comes to oligarchy, Canada makes America look positively amateurish.

Canada's monopolists may be big fish in a small pond, but holy moly are they big, compared to the size of that pond. In their new book, The Big Fix: How Companies Capture Markets and Harm Canadians, Denise Hearn and Vass Bednar lay bare the price-gouging, policy-corrupting ripoff machines that run the Great White North:

https://sutherlandhousebooks.com/product/the-big-fix/

From telecoms to groceries to pharmacies to the resource sector, Canada is a playground for a handful of supremely powerful men from dynastic families, who have bought their way to dominance, consuming small businesses by the hundreds and periodically merging with one another.

Hearn and Bednar tell this story and explain all the ways that Canadian firms use their market power to reduce quality, raise prices, abuse workers and starve suppliers, even as they capture the government and the regulators who are supposed to be overseeing them.

The odd thing is that Canada has been in the antitrust game for a long time: Canada passed its first antitrust law in 1889, a year before the USA got around to inaugurating its trustbusting era with the passage of the Sherman Act. But despite this early start, Canada's ultra-rich have successfully used the threat of American corporate juggernauts to defend the idea of Made-in-Canada monopolies, as homegrown King Kongs that will keep the nation safe from Yankee Godzillas.

Canada's Competition Bureau is underfunded and underpowered. In its entire history, the agency has never prevented a merger – not even once. This set the stage for Canada's dominant businesses to become many-tentacled conglomerates, like Canadian Tire, which owns Mark's Work Warehouse, Helly Hansen, SportChek, Nevada Bob's Golf, The Fitness Source, Party City, and, of course, a bank.

A surprising number of Canadian conglomerates end up turning into banks: Loblaw has a bank. So does Rogers. Why do these corrupt, price-gouging companies all go into "financial services?" As Hearn and Bednar explain, owning a bank is the key to financialization, with the company's finances disappearing into a black box that absorbs taxation attempts and liabilities like a black hole eating a solar system.

Of course, the neat packaging up of vast swathes of Canada's economy into these financialized and inscrutable mega-firms makes them awfully convenient acquisition targets for US and offshore private equity firms. When the Competition Bureau (inevitably) fails to block those acquisitions, whole chunks of the Canadian economy disappear into foreign hands.

This is a short book, but it's packed with a lot of easily digested detail about how these scams work: how monopolies use cross-subsidies (when one profitable business is used to prop up an unprofitable business in order to kill potential competitors) and market power to rip Canadians off and screw workers.

But the title of the book is The Big Fix, so it's not all doom and gloom. Hearn and Bednar note that Canadians and their elected reps are getting sick of this shit, and a bill to substantially beefed up Canadian competition law passed Parliament unanimously last year.

This is part of a wave of antitrust fever that's sweeping the world's governments, notably the US under Biden, where antitrust enforcers did more in the past four years than their predecessors accomplished over the previous 40 years.

Hearn and Bednar propose a follow-on agenda for Canadian lawmakers and bureaucrats: they call for a "whole of government" approach to dismantling Canada's monopolies, whereby each ministry would be charged with combing through its enabling legislation to find latent powers that could be mobilized against monopolies, and then using those powers.

The authors freely admit that this is an American import, modeled on Biden's July 2021 Executive Order on monopolies, which set out 72 action items for different parts of the administration, virtually all of which were accomplished:

https://www.eff.org/deeplinks/2021/08/party-its-1979-og-antitrust-back-baby

What the authors don't mention is that this plan was actually cooked up by a Canadian: Columbia law professor Tim Wu, who served in the White House as Biden's tech antitrust czar, and who grew up in Toronto (we've known each other since elementary school!).

Wu's plan has been field tested. It worked. It was exciting and effective. There's something weirdly fitting about finding the answer to Canada's monopoly problems coming from America, but only because a Canadian had to go there to find a receptive audience for it.

The Big Fix is a fantastic primer on the uniquely Canadian monopoly problem, a fast read that transcends being a mere economics primer or history lesson. It's a book that will fire you up, make you angry, make you determined, and explain what comes next.

ERIC DUNN

Hooray for Viking

Eric Dunn and his wife Wendy have owned three Vikings – all named Hooray, also the moniker of their world-class hunting ranch in Kingman, Kansas – and are currently building their fourth boat. Their Viking ownership experience began with a 55 Convertible followed by hull No. 1 of the 80 Convertible, which took first place in the 2017 Bisbee Los Cabos Offshore Tournament. Their current Viking, a 68 Convertible, will fish in a handful of tournaments this summer in a variety of locations, including the Mobile Big Game Fishing Club Memorial Day Tournament out of Orange Beach, Alabama, and the August 5-9 White Marlin Open out of Ocean City, Maryland. But it’s not all about fishing for Eric, Wendy and their teen-age son, Tucker. They also enjoy vacations on their Vikings and have already experienced a lifetime of memories on the water with family and friends. Their latest adventure? Participating for the first time in the 2019 Viking Key West Challenge. That’s where Valhalla caught up with Eric. In a conversation in the salon of his four-stateroom yacht, Eric talks about the importance of customer service, the performance of the “cuttingedge” Viking convertibles, the power of the people of Viking and his close connection with his dealer, Galati Yacht Sales. You’ll also hear from Wendy and Tucker, too, as they share a few of their unforgettable Viking experiences.

Best Times of Year for Deep Sea Fishing in Florida

Florida offers great fishing year-round, but certain seasons are especially favorable for different types of deep-sea fish.

Saying goodbye to Dad

It was different this time. Instead of getting an early morning telephone call that took me by surprise, I got one I expected. I learned that my father had passed away after a long history of health struggles.

James Heldt, who died this week at age 93, had long battled mental and physical decline. He spent the last several years in assisted living and the last three without my mother, his loving wife of 70 years.

It was difficult watching him fail. When I last saw him, on January 17, he did not recognize me. Nor was he able to speak in sentences. He was not able to do much of anything in the twilight of his life.

That is not the man I will remember. I will remember instead the younger man, the father who supported a family, succeeded in business, and set a wonderful example for his four sons, two daughters, and ten grandchildren.

Born on the Nebraska plains at the start of the Great Depression, Dad learned responsibility, hard work, and patience at an early age. The youngest of six sons, he moved to Eastern Oregon as a boy and became active in his church, his rural community, and his high school, where he served a year as student body president.

After attending a year of college and marrying my mother, he started a family and a career in small business, mostly as the manager of Sherwin-Williams and Montgomery Ward stores in Oregon and Washington. He won numerous business awards, the respect of his colleagues, and the loyalty of countless customers.

He also invested time in his family. Though he did not have much time to give, he gave it generously. He attended the games, the church programs, and the school activities and crowed about his kids at every opportunity. He took pride in raising thoughtful human beings.

Though Dad was generally a serious man, he had a quirky side. He loved playing Santa Claus at Christmas, watching comedies on television, and showing off Pepper, his beloved Dachshund.

I will remember him for the little things, such as the times he taught me to drive, took me to pro sports events, secured my first job, and drove me to and from college. He beamed in 1985 when I graduated from the University of Oregon and did something he had wanted to do but could not because of family and economic circumstances.

Though I have many stories of Dad, one will always stand out. It will because of what happened and because of what did not.

In July 1976, we went fishing. We pursued salmon off Westport, Washington, with a dozen others from our church. No other family members attended. It was a father-and-ninth-grade-son sort of thing. Dad didn't make it an hour before giving up his early breakfast to the creatures of the sea. He didn't catch fish either, at least at first. Like most of the others on our small charter boat, he set his line at twenty yards, as the skipper had instructed, and waited patiently for a bite.

I didn't wait for a thing. Convinced that the fish, like all fish, congregated at the bottom, I dropped my line another ten yards. Never mind that we were 20 miles offshore. I dropped my line — right into a large school of salmon. Within minutes, I reeled in 38-, 33-, 31-, and 28-pound kings. The others on the boat soon did the same. They lowered their lines and drained the Pacific of tasty fish. Dad and I each caught four and gave our extras to others. We brought home 200 pounds of salmon. My biggest fish was the third largest caught off Westport that day and would have netted $750 had I invested a measly buck in a fishing derby.

Sadly, I don't have photographs of that day. I didn't take my Kodak, and my usually trusty Bell & Howell movie camera jammed. No others on the boat took pictures. One of the best moments of my adolescence went unrecorded. My "big fish" story exists only in memories.

I would give almost anything for snapshots of that trip. I would love to see the salmon and Dad's happy face as we weighed our catch.

But I don't need the photos. I know we caught the fish and had the experience of a lifetime. If Dad was not present in pictures, he was still present in person. Like so many other times in my life, he was there, supporting me, encouraging me, and sharing the fun.

I hope things are better now, Dad. Say hello to Mom. Thanks for the support and the memories. I love you. I miss you. Until we meet again.

Marlin Fishing in Cape Verde: A World-Class Sportfishing Destination

Cape Verde, an archipelago off the coast of West Africa, has gained a reputation as one of the top destinations for marlin fishing. The waters surrounding these islands are teeming with blue marlin, attracting anglers from around the world. If you’re looking for an unforgettable fishing experience, Cape Verde should be at the top of your list.

Why Cape Verde is a Prime Spot for Marlin Fishing

Abundance of Blue Marlin

Cape Verde is home to one of the highest concentrations of blue marlin in the world. The waters around the islands, particularly São Vicente and Santiago, provide the perfect environment for these magnificent fish. The peak season runs from March to July, but marlin can be caught year-round.

Ideal Ocean Conditions

The deep waters near Cape Verde create a natural habitat that supports a thriving marine ecosystem. With warm temperatures, strong ocean currents, and an abundance of baitfish, marlin find these waters perfect for feeding and migration.

Experienced Charter Services

Cape Verde offers a wide range of professional fishing charters equipped with top-tier gear and knowledgeable crews. Many of these captains have years of experience in big-game fishing and can provide valuable guidance to both beginners and seasoned anglers.

Best Time to Fish for Marlin in Cape Verde

While marlin are present all year, the best time to catch a trophy-sized blue marlin is from March to July. During this period, the chances of hooking into a 500+ lb marlin are significantly higher. The months of April and May are considered the peak, with many anglers reporting multiple strikes per day.

Top Fishing Spots in Cape Verde

São Vicente (Mindelo) – Known as the marlin capital of Cape Verde, Mindelo’s waters consistently produce record-breaking catches.

Santiago – Offers a mix of marlin fishing and other sportfishing opportunities.

Boa Vista – Great for offshore fishing with diverse marine life.

Sal – Popular for its clear waters and accessibility.

Techniques for Catching Blue Marlin

Trolling

Trolling is the most effective technique for targeting blue marlin in Cape Verde. Anglers use a combination of artificial lures and live bait to entice marlin to strike. High-speed trolling allows boats to cover larger areas of water, increasing the chances of a successful catch.

Live Bait Fishing

Using fresh bait such as mackerel or bonito can attract larger marlin. This method requires patience, but it can yield impressive results.

Tag and Release

Many charter operators practice catch-and-release fishing to help sustain marlin populations. This ensures that future generations can continue to enjoy the thrill of big-game fishing.

Booking a Marlin Fishing Charter in Cape Verde

When booking a fishing charter, consider the following:

Reputation – Choose a well-reviewed operator with a history of successful trips.

Equipment – Ensure the boat is equipped with high-quality fishing gear.

Crew Expertise – An experienced crew can make a significant difference in your fishing experience.

Trip Duration – Full-day trips offer the best chances for a successful marlin catch.

Final Thoughts

Marlin fishing in Cape Verde is an adventure that every sportfishing enthusiast should experience. With its rich marine biodiversity, ideal fishing conditions, and expert charters, this island paradise offers some of the best marlin fishing in the world. Whether you're an experienced angler or a first-timer, Cape Verde provides an opportunity to hook into a world-class blue marlin and create unforgettable memories.
