At 57 years of age, I decided that this time, I would rely on what I've learned over the years and see if I should vote.
The last time I inadvertently researched any politicians I found that Pierre Elliot Trudeau had a summer job- years before, in a gold mine in Malartic, Quebec.
Coming from an extended family where the patriarch of the brood worked all of his life in a gold mine, I automatically had respect for the guy..
That was the last time that I ever had respect for a Federal political leader.
Back then, leaders had balls between their legs but now, well, they have accolades up their asses.
It meant something when a politician said that he did something for Canadians, it seemed like all Canadians won when that happened.
Perhaps the most significant of these accomplishments came when Canadians were offered the protection of medicare for all. Canadian no longer had to worry about losing loved ones because they couldn't afford the costs of taking care of each other. It meant something positive for all Canadians not just the ones that voted for one political party.
But it isn't like that anymore.
A week ago I attended a candidate debate in Gander, Newfoundland. The Liberal candidate and incumbent is Scott Simms. His Conservative opponents is a guy called Clifford Small. The NDP guy didn't bother to show up so I won't bore you with his name.
I tried to talk to Scott Simms on a few occasions but he never gave me the benefit of a reply or acknowledgment for that matter. I called Clifford Small but I got his answering machine and it was full.
However, about two hours later, my phone rand and sure enough, Mr. Small was calling me back although I never left him a message...
Immediately I was reminded of when politicians actually got involved with their constituents, he showed me right there that action speaks louder than words. I told him that I would be at the debate, and for the first time in my life, I actually sat down and allowed myself to be immersed in bull shit.
The debate was polite, clean as it can be- Small actually referred to Simms as a good Member of Parliament. How about that?
That very statement showed me that Small isn't afraid to respect his fellow Canadians.
That was stunning when you consider that just a few weeks ago, the Liberals weren't sure if Simms was the right candidate for them in Gander... Liberals are concerned with the fact that Simms doesn't engage enough with his constituents. Another point of contention for the party is that Simms voted in the past to support the legitimacy of hate speech against the Liberal caucus. Simms also sided with anti-abortion interests in an other vote.
All in all, Simms is as unpredictable as he is irrational. Both of these traits are synonymous with individual suffering from convenient instincts. In comparison, persons that deals in truth and respect, are predictable and logical.
In politics now, there are very few selfless individuals such as the likes of Clifford Small.
I wrote to Scott Simms to address issues of security and law enforcement. The case load I curated over the last 30 years of my life as an information analyst, relates to financial crimes whereas billions of dollars were stolen from unsuspecting Canadians, and people around the world, through a few Canadian companies. The number is well north of 35 billion dollars all together.
The government agencies mandated to protect Canadians from such crimes are non-responsive because most of these circumstances involve one man, Brian Mulroney.
Earlier I wrote about accolades and given what I learned throughout my years as a financial crimes analyst, Canadian politics are contaminated with dangerous special interests that are adverse to Canadian values and human rights.
If you want to vote in this election you need to look at the friends and associates of our politicians. At the individuals that give them money and you must decide if this is in your best interests or if this is an attacks on every Canadian sovereignty.
My files over the years have been shared with the RCMP and just about every member of parliament since the days of Jean Chretien. At no time has anyone in government or law enforcement has ever disputed the claims that were set forth, not even Brian Mulroney, instead they hid.
Throughout the years I travelled the world to acquire documents and statements. I started before the internet was even out there. I talked to government officials, journalists, lawyers involved in money laundering schemes, bankers, terrorist sympathizers as well as terrorist financiers.
I infiltrated organizations such as mafia organizations, Asian drug cartels, banks and investment firms and yes, even the RCMP here in Canada, all of which is documented and evidenced.
I had sources within the FBI, the CIA and NSA as well as various defence inteligence agencies in Canada and abroad.
The Canadian government is aware of all this and it is likely that they have extensive surveillance on my role in these circumstances.
This being said, The Mulroney financial syndicate, over the years, has reached groups involved in organize crime money laundering. From the Catholic Church to Al Quaeda bankers in Liechtenstein, through the financing of known convicted criminals, Mulroney cultivated a complex web of relations designed to reward those who helped him skirt the law in the Airbus case by giving jobs to former RCMP investigators and American military brass. He even got his own son Ben, to Chair a bogus mental health charity financed by Pokerstars parent company, Amaya Gaming of Montreal a company that to this day operates illegally in hundreds of jurisdictions around the world, including Canada.
Mulroney even had a likely role in twarting Interpol warrants to facilitate the entry of fugitives into Canada at the behest of the United States.
The RCMP has evidence that Mulroney's Airbus bribes were handled by a banker with direct ties to Al Qaeda and the financing off the high jackers of the 9/11 attacks. The irony in all of this is that this information came from the RCMP and some of its contractors, we never developed that evidence.
Our organize crime files led us to the last Provincial election in Ontario and the financial support of the Ford Campaign by organize crime organizations with ties to Brian Mulroney. His daughter eventually became, if you can believe that, Attorney General of Ontario in the Ford government. There are no allegations of any wrong doing by Mulroney's daughter, however, the incestuous relationships of her father span a timeline that goes all the way back to the time when he sought the nomination of the party in Winnipeg to her appointment as Attorney General of Ontario.
For those who keep time records, that is almost 38 years ago and that establishes a pattern.
From Justin Trudeau's wife being dressed by Brian Mulroney's daughter in law- wife of Ben, to the relationships that Mulroney nurtured with elements of organized crime, nothing is more notable than the fact that every prime minister since Pierre Elliot Trudeau- to the exceptions of Joe Clark and Stephen Harper, came from the same special interest.
Trudeau, Chretien, Mulroney and Paul Martin all worked or otherwise through marriage and business deals, have a direct relationship with the venerable Des Marais family patriarch, Paul Des Marais.
I can't vote for anyone with such extensive criminal ties and pretend that it is all right, and frankly most Canadians should know that in here, is the irrefutable fact that Canada has been ruled by an organized political family for whom criminal activities over the years is a means to an end.
My hypocrisy only goes so far.
