Thanks for posting those great pics. that Lachlan took, his gifts keep giving..I still cannot believe the amount of information LC has managed to collect on his website!

 

[Hazel]

...and just now out of curiosity I made a Google image search of LC....amongst many of the images we have seen many times, there was this fish picture, and I wondered what this had to do with our Lachlan. The blogger has a link to our thread too...a bit too long to explain, so here are a few quotes and the link:

Big Fish
July 1951 – March 2010

MICHAEL G. TAYLOR - Outdoorsman, devotee of great music, log home builder, retired executive VP AECL,
died suddenly and tragically at his beloved Lac Poisson Blanc, Quebec at the age of 58.​

Big Fish retired from his “top” job at AECL and dies two months after this guy in the same fashion? And it has officials asking the same questions I've been asking about Big Fish. Found another report:

Big Fish was pretty up there at AECL, EVP of something or other. I never really paid any attention to what he did. I'm not a strong supporter of atomic/nuclear energy; I think it's very dangerous stuff. We should continue to develop solar, or work on geothermal and research nuclear rather than building stuff – it could too easily fall into the wrong hands and who knows, it could be used to develop bombs and what about the waste (hello! Japan!) He saw it as a legacy position, carrying on something his father started. If I remember correctly his father worked on the candu reactors at G.E. back in the day.

Was Big Fish somehow part of some larger nefarious plot to pluck off key AECL personnel?!

I’m getting frustrated with our news outlets as I try to scour the internet for more information. What's with these people? To post these obscure stories and don't even follow up. A sentiment shared by many who have posted on CBC's website. I agree with one person who commented on a June 11, 2010 report of an unidentified body found in the Ottawa River:

Paper Mill

You see, from what I know, Lac Poisson Blanc is a man made lake. It’s controlled by some paper mill factory and at any given time of the season you’ll notice a drastic decrease and rise in the water levels, they drain the lake to do whatever it is that they do. I’ve snow shoed across that lake with him, we boated in that lake so many times and from what I can remember, I don’t think this lake connects at all to the Gatineau River.

So I hopped on Google Earth to double check – yup, Lac Poisson Blanc is a self contained lake. Although it’s situated in the Gatineau hills, from what I see, it’s not connected to the Gatineau River. Am I reading this wrong?

I dig a little bit further to see if there’s some follow up articles as to the identity of this man who washed up on the river banks. Found nothing, except for a couple reports of 41, year old Lachlan Cranswick, who mysteriously disappeared, one day late January the same year (2010), without a trace.

Meanwhile, we still don't know what happened with the March 23 story of a body found on the Gatineau side of the Ottawa River. Has the coroner in Montreal ever identified the body?" ~ CBC Website

Yeah, I wanna know that too? Was it Big Fish?!

I still don’t get,\ why was he out there in the first place; How did he fall and; What caused his fall? Was he on foot and fell through weak ice? Or was he in a boat and fell off the side of the boat and through the ice? If he was in a boat then why would he be boating on a lake full of ice? (No boat was mentioned in the “official story&#8221 If he was on foot then why was he out on a faulty lake in the spring when the weather was reporting record breaking warm temperatures for that time of year.

We've snow shoed across that lake before in January not late March! He above all people would know that the further you go out the more dangerous because the ice is thinner (isn't it?), especially for that time of year, undercurrents are strong – he should have known he couldn’t trust the ice

Wow, Great find Hazel, thankyou for posting this interesting link!

I am not all that computer savvy, so maybe someone else who IS can explain something. As a result of Hazel's post, I googled "+cressey +cranswick" (without the quotes), and clicked on the second hit, it brings up LC's page that contains the link to "The Art of Barbara and Gordon Cressey". Okay, so don't click on that link, but click on "Web Stats" which is a bit further down the page, or

http://lachlan.bluehaze.com.au/reports/

Why are there no webstats between January 2009 until September and October of this year? This recent activity seems strange, and at first I thought it might be due to activity by the the blogger friend of Big Fish ... but the activity is still from various countries around the world with Russia being near the top of the list.

No computer savvy here, but you can manipulate the URL and get stats for the missing months, for example:
Nov. 2009 = http://lachlan.bluehaze.com.au/reports/month/200911/

Dec. 2009 = http://lachlan.bluehaze.com.au/reports/month/200912/

Jan. 2010 = http://lachlan.bluehaze.com.au/reports/month/201001/

Feb. 2010 = http://lachlan.bluehaze.com.au/reports/month/201002/

Mar. 2010 = http://lachlan.bluehaze.com.au/reports/month/201003/

Well, you get the picture....now don't ask me why these links are not included in that Index page, coz I have no idea whatsoever perhaps Bluehaze, Mole or Almalexia could have the answer.

Is there a month in particular you are looking for SB?

July 2011 : http://lachlan.bluehaze.com.au/reports/month/201107/

Aug. 2011 : http://lachlan.bluehaze.com.au/reports/month/201108/

 

[Sillybilly]

Thanks Hazel ... that explains it, and no i wasn't looking for anything specific. Just struck me as odd. Now am going back to dig more into the story about Big Fish.

 

[Sillybilly]

Oh now surely Big Fish isn't one and the same as Mike T who was the Executive Director, Office of Regulatory Affairs, Canadian Nuclear Safety Commission from the Linda Keen fiasco?

http://www.parl.gc.ca/HousePublicat...DocId=1040847&Language=E&Mode=1&Parl=37&Ses=1

Chairperson of the Ottawa branch of the CNS?

Nah ... surely there would have been more coverage if that was the case

I'm trying to compare the outdoorsy MT in the obit with the executive MT in the Parliament house pubs picture ... anyone else think they look alike (especially the nose)??

Anyway, maybe it's my eyesight. Had my second eye operation 2 days ago ... Hey, I wonder if i can have an operation when my mind goes

Thanks Hazel. Yeah .. hard to say with one pic being an outdoorsey gent and the other a suit. Sure wish Big Fish's friend would join us here.

The executive MT pic is circa 2002/03. Don't know when Big Fish retired or when his pic was taken, but a few years relaxation and a few extra pounds could explain the difference.

Going to keep that one tucked away in the back of my head for a while.

Hackers attacking Canadian organizations are determined to make money in targeted campaigns while government insiders stole more data than ever before, a security study released on Tuesday showed"



"Sophisticated attacks are focused on individuals and their data and often seek a continuing information stream for financial or political gain, the study said.

"These attacks are reported less frequently as they are much harder to detect and often involve much longer time frames," the study's authors wrote".

"The big thing that China is after is technology and information and military secrets," Brian McAdam told a corporate espionage conference in Gatineau, Que.

"They are really targeting foreign scientists and engineers in a major way."

McAdam said Chinese intelligence officials have perfected the "honey trap" - using agents to seduce visiting business people, scientists, or politicians while secretly videotaping their sexual encounter.

"This happens with incredible frequency," said McAdam. "These (encounters) are now on film and it will be made very clear to (the victims) that they either co-operate or this information will be provided to their husband or wife, their social friends, their employer."

"KENORA, Ont. - After the ATV he was riding broke through the ice of Clearwater Bay Friday, a 77-year-old man cheated death by pulling himself from the ice and to safety with a tool he had on hand.

Kenora OPP responded to an alarm at a Kendal Inlet Road camp which was triggered after the man pulled himself from the ice with a screwdriver and broke into the cottage for shelter."

I actually thought of Lachlan when I read this in the paper.

MOSCOW - The Russian customs service said on Friday it had seized radioactive material found in the luggage of a passenger bound for Tehran at Moscow’s Sheremetyevo international airport.

The service said in a statement that tests showed the material was a radioactive isotope which could be obtained only “as a result of a nuclear reactor’s operations”.

The statement said the material had triggered an alarm in the airport’s radiation control system. The luggage search led to a discovery of 18 pieces of radioactive metal packed in individual steel casings.
