Family feud: Inside the Succession-grade saga gripping Canada’s grandest family

In ancient times, fratricide was a much simpler affair. Take Cain, for instance — he did his brother Abel’s head in with a stone. Today’s methods are far more complicated. Just ask Edward Rogers III, chairman of Rogers Communications, the largest media company in Canada. His attempts to wrest control of his family’s £18 billion dollar firm have set his entire family at each other’s throats. Comparisons with Succession were inevitable. The difference is the dysfunctional Roy family depicted in the HBO show would never be as calculating or as cold as the Rogers clan.
