Thieves of Bay Street – the New Book by CCIR Associate Bruce Livesey

We’re excited to announce the publication of CCIR associate journalist Bruce Livesey’s important new book, ‘Thieves of Bay Street’, a rare exposé of white collar crime in Canada, published by Random House and available on a bookstore shelf near you. The CCIR gave some early material support toward the research of ‘Thieves’ – thanks to the generous donations of our supporters.

Thieves of Bay Street investigates Canada’s biggest financial scandals of recent years. Readers will learn what banks do with investors’ money and what happens when they lose it. They will meet the bogus investment gurus, the brokers who lose money with both reckless abandon and impunity, the bankers who squander money in toxic investments, the lawyers who protect them and the regulators who do nothing to keep them from doing it again. And most importantly, they’ll meet the victims who are demanding that our vaunted banking sector finally come clean on its dirtiest secret (from About the Book).

The CCIR and independent Hamilton bookseller, Epic Books, are hosting an evening with author Bruce Livesey, Thursday, May 3rd, 7PM, 226 Locke Street South, Hamilton.
