Contradictions

In this article it states in one place that Pattison is the 3rd richest Canadian and 173rd richest in the world, while in another place it states that he is the 4th richest Canadian and the 178th richest in the world. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Thomasionus (talk • contribs) 06:06, 19 July 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Why a Philanthropist

Anyone who goes to church is expected to donate 10% to the church as a tithe. This guy is not overly generous in terms of percentages (10%). Seems like he's actually doing the minimum; we're just impressed because it's a big number... — Preceding unsigned comment added by 99.231.88.221 (talk) 01:43, 16 May 2015 (UTC)[reply]

The article goes on to state that he plans to give away half of his wealth in his lifetime. To be fair, charitable donations are also a tax shelter but that's meant to encourage charitable giving in this country. It also doesn't specifically say the 10% is being given to his church (literally a tithe) or the ACOP would probably be the richest per capita church in the country based on members. This isn't for other companies that feel they need to do church inspired charitably giving. Marshall Field did this and Target still does this. 2601:205:467F:75CD:F4EC:901B:1E66:A4F (talk) 00:45, 8 November 2024 (UTC)[reply]
