Alternate title:
Irving versus Irving : Canada's feuding billionaires and the stories they won't tell
Description:
xiv, 338 p. ; 24 cm.
Bibliography:
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.
