Dollas

Cormark Securities Inc. just spent over $70 million on a stock deal. This is just one of the million dolla expenses they will make in a year. This is their mission statement:

Cormark Securities Inc. is a leading independent investment dealer counseling Canadian and international institutional investors and Canadian-listed mid-cap and emerging growth companies from offices in Toronto, Calgary and Montreal.

This is their "vision" :

to partner with our clients to achieve their capital market objectives.

I want to believe that hundreds of millions of dollas are not so easily thrown around by organisations built around empty and poorly-written objectives and mission statements. But it's true. Millions of dollas does not equal sophistication, intelligence or elitism. Nope. Their vision is akin to McDonald's stating, "we desire to sell hamburgers to our customers". No shit dudes, no shit.

Maybe they could send a few of those millions my way, and I can write them some non-run-on, misplaced sentences. I could also show them the strength and integrity that comes with usage of the active voice. "I fucked that chick" not, "that chick was fucked by me".
