indifférent. Originaire de Sudbury en Ontario, il est parvenu à bâtir un empire financier de classe mondiale, Power Corporation, à partir dune petite entreprise familiale de transport par autobus. Très tôt, il a compris comment il pouvait développer ses affaires en tissant un solide réseau dinfluence aux plus hauts échelons politiques. Paul Desmarais nest pas un entrepreneur. Cest un prédateur, un loup qui a compris quil est beaucoup plus facile de convaincre le berger de lui ouvrir toutes grandes les portes de la bergerie que de chercher continuellement à déjouer sa surveillance.
