NATIONAL SECURITY PRIVILEGED / CONFIDENTIAL
November 19, 2009
Power Corporation
751 Victoria Square
Montreal, Quebec, H2Y 2J3
Attention: Stephan Lemay, Counsel
Dear Sir:
Re: Systemic Security of Information Act & UN Charter Violations, Actions to be Undertaken by the International Community to Address Same
This is to advise that I act in an agency capacity for a conglomerate of international public and private sector parties. Kindly consider this formal ‘notice’ to the principals and executives of Power Corporation of my clients’ intention to effect fundamental structural change, including ownership, management and operations, of the company. This correspondence provides general information for your board’s edification.
In September 2008 the RCMP's National Security Division (or INSET - Integrated National Security Enforcement Teams) launched an investigation into nationwide systemic government corruption, criminality and human right violations pursuant to The Security of Information Act (s. 20-23). Because of the national security dimension, these facts and circumstances could not nor ever can be publicized. Therefore, the only way to generate the kind of collective awareness that would to lead to accountability and reform was to contact those in government and the three constituents of the administration of justice (Bench, Bar and law enforcement) on an individual basis – now around 1,500 officials, recommend to each that an independent assessment be made and wider due diligence conducted; then consult with colleagues and counterparts across the country to develop a consensus on how to proceed to address these matters.
Annexed to the complaint I filed through the office of RCMP Superintendent Mike Aubry, Officer-in-Charge, Employee and Management Relations, in May '08 after introducing these matters to him over a four month period was the results of a three year research project compiling evidence of the origins of this systemic malfeasance, how it operated and who the primary parties were and continue to be. The submitted information, evidence and arguments are posted on a password protected website you will have access to upon providing an assurance of confidentiality.
The dissemination initiative was first launched in August '07 seeking to create that collective awareness hoping doing so would lead to achieving my clients' objectives of reform and accountability and addressing illegalities involving Canada's thirty-five year relationship with China. The dissemination initiative was completed in July '09. They were seeking a ‘Made in Canada’ solution. To date there is none and from all appearance there never will be.
The initiative's purposes were to provide full transparency with respect to these publicly unaware illegalities amongst the non-complicit, what my clients' objectives are and the tactics to be employed to achieve them. They wanted everyone in government and the administration of justice to be cognizant of the facts and circumstances submitted to the RCMP so all could participate in reform and accountability.
The RCMP investigation was terminated in March 2009 as a result of government and top-level law enforcement interference. Doing so further justified my clients’ intervention in the otherwise sovereign affairs of the nation. What originally validated the decision to effect a complete deconstruction and reconstitution of the Canadian system of governance and economy was because a politically and geo-politically bias Federal Court protected China’s secret de facto governance status and militarization of the country by dismissing a lawsuit that claimed damages for what the RCMP sought to investigate.
Lemieux J. sustained the federal government defendant’s claim of ‘national security’ privilege, unjustifiably balancing competing interests in favor of the state – preferring to protect the institutionalization of corruption, criminality and human rights violations and China’s interests in the country than fulfill the judiciary’s role in protecting sovereignty, the constitution and individuals from abuses of political, bureaucratic, law enforcement and corporate power:
After applying and weighing these factors, I am satisfied on the evidence before me, the importance of disclosing the redacted information does not outweigh the public interest in keeping that information from disclosure. As to the nature of the public interest sought to be protected, the redacted information relates to how CSIS, Canada’s intelligence service, operates. Clearly, as I have found, such disclosure is injurious to the public interest. I adopt the words chosen by Justice MacKay in Singh (J.B.) v. Canada (Attorney General), [2000] F.C.J. No. 1007, a case where the R.C.M.P. Public Complaints Commission sought disclosure of documents related to the 1997 APEC Conference. Justice MacKay, at paragraph 32, stated:
The public interest served by maintaining secrecy in the national security context is weighty. In the balancing of public interests here at play, that interest would only be outweighed in a clear and compelling case for disclosure. [emphasis mine]
The Justice also sustained the other production of documents confidentiality claim, ‘injury to international relations’, which was an implicit confession on the court record that a foreign government was involved in the facts that supported multiple causes of action.*
* The privilege is observed in access to information legislation: a government can withhold sensitive documents claiming to release them to the public would ‘injure Canada’s relations with a foreign government’
The case was dismissed on a technicality before getting to discoveries; and not once, given some half dozen opportunities, did defendant’s counsel cross-examine on affidavits, leaving the plaintiff’s credibility in tact. That unchallenged credibility was critical in my clients’ assessment of what was alleged.
Behind the ‘injury to international relations’ privilege claim was the establishment of Chinese de facto governance through an early 1970s geo-political alliance with this country’s political and corporate leadership. This relationship led to, inter alia, China’s representatives being at the cabinet table federally and provincially and the infiltration of the Chinese military industrial complex into the fabric of Canadian governance.
One of the defining moments in the research project was reviewing a study jointly conducted by CSIS and the RCMP in the mid-1990s, completed in 1997 and then buried by the Chrétien government. You will find the original text of The Sidewinder Report here:
http://www.primetimecrime.com/Articles/RobertRead/Sidewinder%20page%201.htm
As the report documents, throughout the 1980s and 1990s not only the Beijing leadership and the richest tycoons of that totalitarian country like Li Ka-Sing, but also criminal organizations have purchased large swaths of the Canadian economy and used their wealth to gain political influence across the country to the detriment of our national and economic security. The accumulation of evidence about Chinese de facto sovereignty-sharing and militarization was overwhelming.
Immigration policy was secretly formulated to allow upwards of a million members of the Chinese military and intelligence establishments to take residence here. That is why the Chinese are the country’s largest minority – even surpassing aboriginals. Canada not having the Chinese government’s “Approved Destination Status” (which strictly regulates citizens’ mobility abroad like the Soviets did behind the ‘Iron Curtain’) means high-ranking members of the PRC’s military and intelligence emigrated to the country and fused with the military, security apparatus and law enforcement.
The question the research project had to answer was ‘why did this happen?’. The project reconstructed from the history books how this country’s system of governance evolved over two centuries.
Discovering what the research treatise calls the ‘Ottawa-Toronto-Montreal triangle of power and wealth’ – that cluster of political dynastic families, super wealthy individuals and families and the largest corporations in the land – it was determined that collectively and conspiratorially the operators of this ‘triangle’ had over generations hijacked Canada’s system of government through the institutionalization of nepotism and patronage. These are some of the sign-posts of this phenomenon in the 19th and 20th century:
Prior to 1837 both Upper Canada and Lower Canada were plagued with patronage, nepotism and corruption. Only those with the closest ties to government prospered. The rest were shut out of decision making and full participation in their own country's administration.

This corruption of the mind has been well described as the arrogance of power, and Liberal ministers are not immune from this near-universal human failing.

The long Liberal hegemony in Ottawa has created a small, self-perpetuating oligarchy or aristocracy of governors, from which the vast majority of Canadians are permanently excluded and to which only bona fide members of the Liberal Party may expect to accede. Since power in the Liberal Party is concentrated in Ontario and Quebec, the source of all its leaders, or even more narrowly in Toronto and Montreal, few outsiders need apply.
Source: The Perils of a One-Party State and the Consequences of Perpetual Liberal Rule
The same clique of evermore politically affluent and wealthy families successfully ruled Canada throughout the 20th century due to ever-increasing concentrations of power and prosperity. The said institutionalization, combined with the Liberals governing for some 75% of the last century, led to the evolution of a secret 'totalitarian' paradigm of governance shielded by a cleverly manufactured façade of democratic respectability. PM Trudeau upon taking office looked across the entire political, military, administration of justice and corporate landscapes and saw nothing but Liberals or closet Liberals and realizing there was no dissent, opposition or accountability, began to implement domestic policies that benefited the parochial interests of the wealthy and spread the detriments of those advantages across the entire population. One of the pillars of his domestic policy was economy monopolization.
As the reigns of governance were transferred from one generation to the next the new members of the triangle elite looked at what their parents and grandparents got away with and pushed the envelope of corruption, criminality and impropriety to the point where by the 1980s the country’s leadership was clinically sociopathic. All officials in institutions of accountability were appointed by the elite so they could protect government officials, DND, the RCMP, CSIS, police and the corporate wealthy from being held to account as they were instruments of sustaining political power consolidation, wealth accumulation and then Chinese de facto governance and militarization.
The embezzlement of Canada’s vast wealth followed; not only to satisfy uncontrollably addictions for more wealth, but also to fund Beijing’s Soviet-style imperialism.
As a result of how the self-serving interests of the triangle elite evolved over two centuries there was an ideological affinity amongst political and corporate leaders with the communists in the early 1970s and a distaste to the point of hostility for the United States and NATO alliance. Trudeau gravitated towards Castro and Mao at the height of the Cold War – a heretical foreign policy during that period of world history.
The research discovered that Americans considered Trudeau a communist:
Canada and the World: A History
Department of Foreign Affairs and International Trade on Prime Minister Trudeau (1968 – 1984)
Bilateral tensions that had plagued Canada-U.S. relations in the 1960s spilled over into the 1970s and 1980s. Trudeau and American President Richard Nixon, who met for the first time in 1969, did not like each other… [...]
Trudeau was too much of a pacifist and a leftist for the Americans, some of whom considered him little more than a communist. He did nothing to change this perception… [...] In 1972, Nixon declared that the special relationship between Canada and the United States was dead. "It is time for us to recognize," he stated, "that we have very separate identities; that we have significant differences.
The Sidewinder Report is a rare and valuable window into the secret world of cabinet policy and decision-making on federal and provincial levels over some three and a half decades. The five months of research that followed the study’s review discovered the root causes for what was claimed in the Federal Court litigation, why not challenging credibility wasn’t fatal to the defendant and why the cause was so quickly dismissed. Chief and associate chief justices were appointed on the basis of their staunch loyalty to the non-transparent dimension of governance; proving to the international community just how failed and rogue the Canadian state was. Once the court system proved loyal to violations of The Security of Information Act and international conventions, there was justification under international law to intervene in Canada’s otherwise sovereign affairs.
The research project closely examined members of the so-called ‘triangle’, including Power Corporation and its principals.
Puppets of Beijing

Western Standard News

Back in the days of Chairman Mao, when China's economy was still heavily agrarian and backwardly collectivist, the future prime minister was already planting the seeds of commerce. "I first came to China in 1972, during the waning years of the Cultural Revolution. I was in business then," Martin said, in a Jan. 21 speech in Beijing. At the time, the aspiring businessman was working for Power Corporation of Canada, a firm with $16 billion in revenues controlled by Montreal's powerful Desmarais family. It was clearly an eye-opening experience because he's been making deals in China ever since. Canada Steamship Lines, the gargantuan shipping company Martin purchased from Power Corp. in the eighties, that is now run by his children, has taken advantage of China's cheap workers to build ships. Three CSL container ships were built in the Jiangnan Shipyard, controlled by the People's Liberation Army. A fourth was refurbished in Shanghai. Martin actually owns 35 per cent of China's Tangshan Jinshan Marine Co.
On the evidence there is no room for doubt where PM Martin’s geo-political loyalties were since entering politics:

Another avenue the opposition may choose to explore is the links between the new prime minister and his legions of political donors, who have contributed an astounding $11 million to fund Mr. Martin's leadership campaign. […] The donors' list shows that Mr. Martin's support from the business world is transnational, with Chinese billionaire Li Ka Shing and Hong Kong airline operate David TK Ho donors to the Martin leadership campaign, through Canadian companies.
The country’s most politically affluent and wealthy corporations and families have intimate ties with China’s political elite (and its military industrial complex):

[T]he few who do know [Paul Desmarais] know him as the kingmaker behind Trudeau, Mulroney, Chrétien and Martin.
His brother, Andre Desmarais, is the current Honourary Chairman, President and Chief Executive Officer and Chairman of the Executive Committee of the Canada Chinese Business Council. Mr. Desmarais was granted the Order of Canada.
The nexus between Canadian political power, vast wealth and China’s Canada agenda indisputably resides in particular in the Desmarais family.
In 1969, Power Corporation took a controlling-share in CSL. On December 2, 1970, Paul Martin, the 32-year old executive assistant to Power Corporation Chief Executive Officer Maurice Strong, was appointed to the CSL board of directors.

Joint Declaration by Canada and China
January 20, 2005
Government of Canada Privy Council Office
The Prime Minister of Canada, the Right Honourable Paul Martin, and the Premier of the State Council of the People’s Republic of China, His Excellency Wen Jiabao, today held bilateral discussions in Beijing.
These discussions have further cemented the relationship between our countries – a mature relationship based on friendship and mutual respect, and one which has brought substantial benefits and increased prosperity for citizens of both our countries.
Address by Prime Minister Paul Martin to the Canada-China Business Council Dinner
January 21, 2005
Beijing, China
It is a great pleasure to have the opportunity to again address the Canada-China Business Council, this time here in Beijing, where so many of you are achieving success. The CCBC embodies the longstanding and rapidly growing commercial connection between China and Canada – a relationship that offers benefits to the people of both nations, and symbolizes our shared desire to pursue and capitalize on the great potential that remains untapped.
Let me begin this evening by saying that I have had a busy and productive time in Beijing. I want to thank my hosts, President Hu and Premier Wen, for their warm welcome, for their gracious hospitality and for our discussions – which were thoughtprovoking, fruitful and candid. Tonight, I’d like to tell you how I see Canada-China relations – now and in the years to come.
I first came to China in 1972, during the waning years of the Cultural Revolution. I was in business then. At that time, China was a mystery to me and to much of the western world, an exotic stranger. I have come back many times since. I’ve watched the evolution and growth of this great country.

On October 13, Premier Wen Jiabao and Prime Minister Paul Martin exchanged congratulatory messages on the occasion of the 35th anniversary of the establishment of diplomatic relations between China and Canada.
The Following is the message from Premier Wen Jiabao to Prime Minister Paul Martin:
On the occasion of the 35th anniversary of the establishment of diplomatic relations between China and Canada, I would like to extend, on behalf of the Chinese Government and people and in my own name, my warmest congratulations to you, and through you to your government and people.
35 years ago, the joint efforts of the leaders of the two countries opened a historic chapter in China-Canada relations. The past 35 years witnessed the rapid development of bilateral relations, featuring frequent exchanges at all levels, fruitful results in cooperation in areas ranging from economy and trade to science and technology, education and culture, as well as close consultations and coordination on major international and regional issues.
During President HU Jintao's state visit to Canada not long ago, the two sides agreed to upgrade the relationship to a level of strategic partnership, which will open up even broader prospects for the development of our bilateral relations. This move meets the needs of the common interests and the wishes of the two peoples, and also makes an important contribution to the stability and prosperity of the Asia-Pacific region. We would like to make use of this opportunity to work together with the Canadian side to further the bilateral cooperation in all areas and constantly enrich and deepen China-Canada strategic partnership.

Ottawa and Beijing: A Sad Story
by Robin Mathews
Asia Pacific Post
[…]
A July 2003, U.S. Federal Research Division, Library of congress report called “Asian Criminal and Terrorist Activity in Canada, 1999-2002,” is very clear on the matter. It reports that “Ethnic Chinese triads, gangs, and syndicates have set up vast operations in Canada and constitute the greatest criminal threats in Canada. These Asian groups are involved in a wide variety of criminal activities, primarily in larger population centers.” (p. 38)
How interconnected the Desmarais family is in Canada is evident in the curriculum vitae of Power Corp. Chairman and Co-CEO Paul Desmarais Jr.’s wife, Hélène:
Founder, CEO and Chair of the Board of Administration of the Centre d’entreprises et d’innovation de Montréal (CEIM) since 1996, Ms. Hélène Desmarais holds a Bachelor of Business Administration in finance from HEC Montréal. CEIM is a business incubator, with an emphasis on startups as well as the development of innovative IT, multimedia, industrial technology and biotech companies. Since its foundation in 1996, CEIM has become Quebec’s leading business incubator, and the largest of its kind in Canada. Over the past 11 years, CEIM has assisted 250 businesses, with a survival rate of 78%. CEIM supports the emergence of viable, innovative and successful companies from those sectors which are an economic priority for the Greater Metropolitan Area of Montreal and the province of Quebec.
Ms. Desmarais is founder and Chair of the Board of Administration and of the Entrepreneurial Development Committee of the Société de développement économique Ville-Marie (SDEVM) since 1998. She is both Chair of the Board of Administration and of the Financial Assistance Committee of the SDEVM’s Société d’Investissement Jeunesse (SIJ) Loan Guarantee Program. The primary mission of these two organisations is to promote entrepreneurship and economic development. The SDEVM primarily offers commercial loan guarantees to startup companies. The SIJ offers personal loan guarantees to young entrepreneurs under 35, who wish to start, acquire or become an associate in a Quebec business. Since 1998, 132 companies with an 80% survival rate have benefited from the program. In addition, capital from the two funds have been maintained. In addition to the private sector, the SDEVM has accompanied, consolidated and micro-financed 91 socio-economic projects. Of these companies, 88% remain in operation to this day.
Gestion Bio-Capital Inc. was founded in 1997 and was led by Ms. Desmarais as Chair of the Board of Administration until the sale of the fund in 2001. She was also a member of the verification and investment committees and member of the private investment evaluation commitee at the time of the sale of the fund. Gestion Bio-Capital Inc. was a venture capital organisation specializing in biotech startups. With the sale of the private shares, investors obtained a ROI of 20%. Gestion Bio-Capital played an important role in the startup process of approximately twenty companies and in the stock market introduction of a dozen, including Neurochem and Intellivax -- now ID Biomedical -- which was sold to GlaxoSmithKline for 1.7 million dollars in 2005.
In 2003, Ms. Desmarais was appointed first female President of HEC’s Board of Administration, to which she had been named in 1999. She is Co-President and founder of the International Advisory Board of HEC Montréal (1990), is chair of the Université de Montréal’s Faculty of Medicine Advisory Committee (2006), is President of the Advisory Board and member of the Board of Governors of the Conference of Montreal (International Economic Forum of the Americas, 1995), is President of the Board of Administration of The Montreal Economic Institute (2007) where she has held a seat since 2002. Starting in the fall of 2007, Ms. Demarais will chair the Board of Directors of the Board of Trade of Metropolitan Montreal, following a tenure as First Vice-President which began in 2006. She holds a seat on the Board of Trade of Metropolitan Montreal since 2002 and has sat on its Executive Committee since 2005. She has been Deputy Chair of the Montreal Symphony Orchestra and of its Endowment Funds since 2004.
Ms. Desmarais also sits on the following Boards of Administrations : Garda World Security Corporation (2006); C.D. Howe Institute (2005); the Institute for Governance of Private and Public Organizations (2005); of the IRCM - The Institut de recherches cliniques de Montréal (2005), of Génome Québec (2002), of VAL-CHUM -- Société de valorisation des recherches du CHUM (2004) and of SDA - Société de développement Technopôle Angus (2005). She is a member of the Conseil des partenaires de l'innovation (CIP), which falls under the aegis of Quebec’s Ministry of Développement économique, Innovation et Exportation (2006).
Over the course of her career, Ms. Desmarais has also held seats on several other boards, including that of the Investment Committee Hydro-Quebec Capitech - Innovation Fund, of the Centre d’entrepreneurship HEC-Poly-UdeM, of the CHUS (Sherbrooke University Hospital Centre) and of the World Trade Center.
In 1997, Ms. Demarais chaired a committee mandated by the City of Montreal and the Government of Quebec to study the health industry. Comprised of approximately thirty of the fields specialists and decision-makers, the committee proposed an action plan aimed at making the health industry a leading economic component for the Greater Metropolitan Area of Montreal.
In July 1998, she was named member of the Medical Research Council of Canada (MRC) by Canada’s Privy Council, where she participated in a restructuring plan which led to the transformation of the MRC into a health research institute (1999) and in the establishment of Genome Canada (2000). Ms. Desmarais played an active role in the development of the largest public awareness campaign ever held in support of health sciences research. A great believer in the potential value of research in the field of health services, she played a key role in the establishment of a significant annual Federal Government financing campaign to benefit The Canadian Century Research Infrastructure (CCRI) which seeks to bridge the gap between Canada and the rest of the Organisation for Economic Co-operation and Development (OCDE) countries in respect to per capita spending on health research. Today, the CCRI provides crucial financial support to nearly 10 000 researchers and interns in Canadian universities, university medical centres and research institutes. They also support the commercialisation of research outcomes.
Ms. Desmarais was selected to oversee the Entrepreneurial Committee of Atelier Jeunesse Emploi at the Government of Quebec’s Youth Summit in 2000. At this Summit, the committee presented an action plan to promote the creation of business in Quebec.
Between 2002 and 2006, Ms. Desmarais was a member of the Advisory Board of the National Research Council of Canada’s Biotechnology Research Institute (BRI).
Since 2005, Ms. Desmarais has been a member of the City of Montreal’s Economic Steering Committee, presided by Mayor Gérald Tremblay. This committee was established in June 2005, during the 2005-2010 réussir @ Montréal forum on economic development.
Ms. Desmarais is a regular participant at government public policy roundtable discussions. She is also invited to speak at a number of forums on the creation and financing of emerging tech companies. Ms. Desmarais is a regular speaker at the International Economic Forum of the Americas.
Ms. Desmarais has been invited to be a member of several juries. From 1993 to 1996, she was a member of Britain’s ’Venturer of the Year’ award jury, sponsored by the Financial Times and the British Venture Capital Association. This prize recognized an entrepreneur who had best made use of venture capital funds over the course of the five preceding years. In 1999, 2000 and 2001, she was a member of the selection committee for the Ernst & Young ’Entrepreneur of the Year’ award.
Her unfailing commitment towards the promotion of excellence in post-secondary education, in research, in technological evaluation, in startup and development, as well as in new business financing, is a testament to her ongoing devotion to the economic development of the Greater Metropolitan Area of Montreal. During the festivities marking the 50th anniversary of Her Majesty Queen Elizabeth’s ascension to the throne, Ms. Desmarais was honoured, along with about ten other Quebec residents, with the Queen’s Golden Jubillee Medal for her remarkable contribution to the creation of tech companies, and in recognition of her many years of service to society.
Each of the leadership positions held by Ms. Desmarais within the largest private and public institutions is a reflection of the respect held for her work within the business, university, medical, scientific and public administration communities of Quebec and of Canada. Ms. Desmarais received the University of Montreal’s Order of Merit on May 15, 2007. This award is bestowed upon persons whose achievements and career contribute to the visibility and positive reputation of the Université de Montréal.

The research treatise argues the following about assessing culpability under The Security of Information Act: To determine how intimately connected a person is to and knowledgeable about a country’s governing faction and the super wealthy, an analysis needs to look closely not only at nepotism and patronage driven appointments, but also and as importantly with whom an individual is linked to through associations, organizations and societies. Since national, regional and local communities are comprised of social networks in and through which the agendas and business of government and corporate activity are conducted and advanced, discovering who are on boards reveals what the network is capable of procuring, pursuing, protecting and achieving because of interlinking spheres of control and influence. Since membership in Canada’s federal, provincial and municipal governments and the administration of justice are all tightly controlled through the micro-management of upward mobility opportunities, who someone is linked to through these associations betrays what and how much he or she knows about and contriubted to the non-transparent constituent of governance.
The relationship between the Desmarais family and PM Chrétien is strengthened by the fact that Andre, the corporation’s Chairman, President and Co-Chief Executive Officer, is married to the former PM’s daughter, France.
During the closing event of the Liberal Party Convention on December 2, 2006, PM Chrétien confessed to government's trans-ideological commitment to embedding Chinese interests in the fabric of Canadian society. It resulted because of the …
…work started in 1970 by Pierre Trudeau, followed by Brian Mulroney, by Paul Martin and by myself.
[…]
[O]ne day in front of thousands of people in the Great Hall in Beijing, [the] Premier … said “Canada is the best friend of China”.
What stood out from all the foregoing and three-years of accumulated research is this:
The few who do know [Paul Desmarais] know him as the kingmaker behind Trudeau, Mulroney, Chrétien and Martin.
[emphasis added]
Ipso facto and given the wealth of evidence the Desmarais family is as responsible for systemic violations of The Security of Information Act, the Criminal Code of Canada and international law as any federal and provincial political leader and cabinet since Trudeau.
Because Power Corporation is a multi-decade conspiratorial instrument of systemic violations of the Act, Code and international human rights conventions and for helping the PRC pursue an international law violating foreign policy, the assets of the company and the personal assets of members of the Desmarais family who were and are now involved, and all board members since the early 1990s are going to be seized in toto and some owners and executives will be renditioned and prosecuted. There is a reverse onus evidentiary burden on those charged.
