There's a recent thread, devoted to how important the trial really is, over at the Free Dominion. (The attached poll, as of March 27th, 5:50 PM EDT, has 11 votes out of 18 for "I could not care less.") The threads devoted to Conrad Black, identified by the keyword "conradblack," over at the Free Republic are almost all old. Evidently, the trial is not that much of a political football as yet.
[UPDATE: The trial is making its way into Free Republic. This posting, of a George Jonas opinion piece, was put there on March 31. There were few comments on it, though.]

Hollinger Inc. stock has had a manager-and-insider cease-trading order put on it for approximately three years as of now, but that ban may end. According to this report from Editor & Publisher, there will be an Ontario Securities Commission hearing on whether or not to rescind it.
[The OSC has webbed copies of both the original order here, another management-and-insider cease trade order for Hollinger International stock here, and one for Hollinger Canadian Newspapers, LP here. Believe it or not, Gordon Paris is named in all of them; see the bottom of each. The OSC is nothing if not thorough.]
Canadian Business Online has a webbed discussion, by Romina Maurino, of the differences between Canadian and U.S. securities-regulatory systems, including the criminalizing of associated white-collar crime. She concludes that the U.S. regulatory environment is "much harsher" than that of Canada.
