Controlling Interest, revealed the startling fact that one-third of Canada's wealth was controlled by just 32 families and five conglomerates. Has the concentration of power increased in the ensuing decades? Media coverage would lead us to believe so, but Francis disagrees. Today, the balance has shifted: only half the families cited 20 years ago and only one of the five conglomerates remain major players.
