Includes bibliographical references and index.
Summary:
"
They
are
Canada
's third wealthiest family, the fifth-largest private landowner in the U.
S
.A.
They
have a monopoly on New Brunswick's English-language print media and billions of dollars in offshore accounts.
They
are the Irvings. And
they
have always placed a premium on discretion and family unity.
They
built their empire -- which includes
Canada
's largest refinery, soon to be linked by pipeline to Alberta’s oil fields -- by remaining private.
Irving
vs
.
Irving
tells the story of how these ambitious, often ruthless entrepreneurs came to dominate the economic and political affairs of Atlantic
Canada
, and how
they
learned to love the property that perplexed them most: their media monopoly. The Irvings control of all of New Brunswick's English daily newspapers often allowed the family'
s
business pursuits to escape journalistic scrutiny. Readers frequently wondered what wasn'
t
in the newspaper, such as the
Irving
's lobbying for their logging interests and the sinking of their tanker loaded with PCBs. Reporter Jacques Poitras uses the empire'
s
media holdings to examine previously untold episodes of this family epic from patriarch K.C.
Irving
's manipulation of his mother'
s
affections to a Shakespearean confrontation between generations. Jacques Poitras has been the provincial affairs reporter for CBC News in New Brunswick since 2000"--Provided by publisher.
