July 16 Update – More Questions about this cheque
July 11, 2005
To: Terry Milewski, CBC Vancouver
From: Jim Holt, President Newton North Delta EDA, Conservative Party of Canada.
Verification Information re Six Cheques that Mr. Milewski is investigating.
Reference our discussions of the past three business days, our EDA has been tracking down information on a total of six cheques that have come to your attention as a reporter with CBC.
Given the time lines associated with these items, it hasn’t been as difficult as we had first anticipated regarding re-constructing information on these items. One just had to make contact with the appropriate persons, and the task became quite easy actually. In examining this matter, we have found that rather than focus on each cheque, we should perhaps focus on the donor.
This way we feel a picture of just what we feel is going on starts to become a whole lot clearer.
Firstly, we have a Mr. Kandola, who for some reason contacted you (or was referred to you by others) to indicate that he hadn’t seemed to have received a receipt for a $200. political donation. To your credit Terry, and we thank you for saving us some time, you yourself were able to determine by examining public Elections Canada records that his cheque was indeed properly receipted. But I guess a question we have back to Mr. Kandola, via you, is just why did he make such a claim in the first place, and why was he in apparent error re the veracity of his claim?
Next we have a Mr. Dhahan. Here we have a person who in addition to attending a political dinner for Gurmant Grewal back in December of 2003 (two thousand three) happens also to be a good friend of Ujjal Dosanjh. And Mr. Dhahan, nearly one and half years after a cheque was written and cleared, is now asking for a receipt for his “donation”. In checking this one out, we have determined that the item was countersigned over to The Grand Taj Hall in Surrey to help pay for the dinner, it cleared through their bank, and then presumably went back to Mr. Dhahan’s.
We trust that someone is asking (or perhaps maybe someone will be asking) Mr. Dhahan to explain why an event that occurred some time in the distant past didn’t seem to need a receipt then, but does now. It would also be interesting to determine if this item was an “outstanding item” in accounting terms, and we guess that only a formal examination of Mr. Dhahan’s Income Tax records would determine if this item had been in fact processed as a normal business expense for either 2003 (when the cheque was written), or in 2004 (when the item cleared the bank), or can it indeed be demonstrated by Mr. Dhahan or his auditors that this payment has been kept on his books as an unresolved item all these many months (and through at least one Income tax cycle). For if this item had indeed already been processed in accounting terms, then the accuracy and substance of Mr. Dhahan’s claims to you will represent an entirely different legal matter altogether.
Next we have a Mr. Mann. As backgrounder on this complainant, it is a well-known fact that he is a very good friend of Ujjal Dosanjh. So good a friend is he of Mr. Dosanjh that just after the Taping Incident became public, and Mr., Dosanjh’s central and principle role in that event became known to the public, Mr. Mann telephoned Mr. Grewal and voiced extreme displeasure with Mr. Grewal’s actions. And then just a few short weeks later, up pops a complaint relayed to you regarding two cheques. Mann has provided you with two items, one for $1800. and another for $600. In the matter of the item for $600., our research shows that this item followed the same pattern as Mr. Dhahan’s above. Namely, it was used to help pay for the December 2003 dinner, this cheque cleared in nearly identical fashion to that of Mr. Dhahan’s, and all of the above questions must be asked of Mr. Mann.
Regarding the cheque in the amount of $1800. our research shows that this cheque was made payable to the Nina Grewal Campaign. This item represents the approximate cash value of the telephone call centre system Mr. Mann supplied to be used by both the Gurmant and Nina Grewal campaigns in June 2004. The reverse of that cheque clearly shows it was properly endorsed by the Registered Agent for Nina Grewal, and deposited to the EDA account. The lack of receipt on this account appears to be a simple clerical error related to the change in volunteer Registered Agents for the Fleetwood-Port Kells campaign. The new Registered Agent assumed his predecessor had issued all official receipts up to the time of the changeover. Our investigation indicates that all of the paperwork and reports are correct, and an official receipt will be issued to Mr. Mann forthwith. (On a perhaps embarrassing note, this sort of thing does happen from time to time, given the large number of items processed by volunteers during a campaign, but we do try to do our best)
This brings us to the Imperial Plumbing cheque in the amount of $1000. Here we must admit we are a bit stumped, not the least due to the fact that the copy of the cheque you forwarded to us doesn’t appear to have been endorsed by anyone on the reverse, and the cheque seems to have been cleared at the Khalsa Credit Union the same day it was drawn. Equally baffling is the fact the item was processed at a branch of that credit union about 20 miles from where the cheque was prepared. We are even more baffled by this one, when we examine the date the transaction(s) occurred. Our research indicates that on that date, Mr. Grewal was in Ottawa, and either in his office, or in the House of Commons (“Hansard” can actually verify this).
[Cheque shown at top of page]
This would place Mr. Grewal at a considerable, and verifiable distance from where this cheque was issued, which would have made it remarkably difficult for him to have cashed this cheque made payable to him personally.
This leaves us with the Jas Atwal cheque in the amount of $500. made out to Gurmant Grewal and dated January 14, 2003, which was subsequently deposited into Mr. Grewal’s personal account in February of 2003. This cheque is perhaps the most vexing, and infuriating one from our perspective. In investigating this one, we have determined that this cheque had nothing whatsoever to do with politics, or with so-called political donations. Nothing whatsoever! This cheque was countersigned over to Mr. Grewal for a portion of a small private business debt owed to him by a Mr. Gill, who among other things is a respected individual in the Indo Canadian Community. He is also a journalist, and owner of Surrey media outlet “Radio India”.
Mr. Gill is prepared to provide a record of the Atwal debt owed to him, and also a sworn statement attesting to the fact that the Atwal cheque was in fact countersigned over to Mr. Grewal for a small and entirely unrelated (to Mr. Atwal) private debt. Further, Mr. Grewal is adamant that the words “For Fund Raiser” which appear on the memo line of this cheque must have been added at a later date (which would be ever so easy to do, and with the actual cheque in the right formal investigative hands, would also be ever so easy to verify). Notwithstanding the fact this item is over two years old, to make a claim that it was a political donation takes us right back up to the hard questions that should be asked of Mr. Mann and Mr. Dhahan.
To conclude, we very much have appreciated the time you have given us in which we could examine the above items, and we trust in turn that you will reciprocally appreciate the time and effort (most of it from committed volunteers) that we have put into providing the answers you have been seeking. We trust that our answers have given you much in the way of additional information, and as is often the case, additional questions to ponder.
We would like to conclude with two important thoughts though. The first is that the common denominator in all of the above is not so much the matter of missing receipts, but rather the fact that loyalty to Ujjal Dosanjh figured large, and often, in our inquiries. This is perhaps not surprising at all, given it is the Liberal Party’s sworn intention to do everything it can to deflect attention away from Mr. Ujjal Dosanjh by attempting to shoot the messenger (that would be our Member of parliament) at every opportunity. Even the most flimsy of claims against Mr. Grewal are trotted out in the achievement of the goal of shielding Mr. Dosanjh from additional, or centre-stage scrutiny. We have heard for some time now that there would be a challenge to Mr. Grewal in the form of cheques. Given what we have seen with the above six items, we feel that the strategy of the Liberals will continue, as will our ability to defend our MP.
In addition, our experience during the examination of these items also leaves us with the knowledge of the profound vulnerability of ANY public official who at some later date might have completely logical personal financial transactions dragged out into the public arena. Events turn, opinions change, or agendas are unleashed, and all of a sudden seemingly mundane financial transactions become potential problems (the Atwal item above is the best/worst of the preceding six in this regard). Given this vulnerability, it is incumbent that those investigating such claims must ask all of the pertinent questions of those doing the complaining. It is likely that in a formal legal forum, each of the above claims would have received short shrift (at best) from those doing the examining and in a worst case, were there Audited and/or Income Tax records indicating facts to the contrary, then those doing the complaining would find themselves in quite a bit more trouble than just having to say “Oops, I’m so sorry. I guess that wasn’t a political donation after all”.
Once again, it seems that Grewal is clean. His behavior in the last few months has certainly been odd, but it appears that every acusation the Liberals make against him is completely unfounded.
For all their contempt for everything American, the Liberals have taken what they would likely call “American-style campaigning” to the extreme.
Should I expect a forthcoming accusation that Grewal has killed people in his riding? That Grewal was responsible for the submarine fire?
I’m kidding of course. A little. Sort of.
I was wondering why CBC dropped this story line so quickly…
All I can say in this one is that both Grewal and Dosanjh should be booted from their respective caucuses. Neither side has covered themselves with glory on this one.
I think the PM and Mr Harper need to make an object lesson of this case that This is NOT India and that this kind of political behavior is neither acceptable nor tolerated in Canada. the last couple years there has been an alarming increase in the cases unethical political behavior and somehow the party leaders need to be sent a message that it stops now!!!
as for the CBC they need to take a hard look at the definition of objective journalism. and then take a harder look at thier own behavior.
Sierra,
Don’t you mean that our leaders should lead and do what is right themselves rather than the masses needing to tell them what to do? That is what leaders should do.
Obviously, all the parties concerned have graduated from the Al Gore School of Fundraising, majoring in Buddhist Temple three card money monty and the proper misuse of religious and ethnic funding.
Not PC? We’re sorry.
Dosanjh urges Indians to battle corruption
>From Indo-Asian News Service
Chandigarh, Jan 16 (IANS) Ujjal Dosanjh, a former premier of
Canada’s British Columbia province, has asked Indians to root out
corruption from the country.
“If the people of India want foreign investment and all-round
development, they must create a congenial atmosphere by resolving
that they would neither give nor take bribes,” he told reporters at
Phillaur town in Haryana.
The former premier said non-resident Indians and foreigners were
eager to invest in India but the “corruption-ridden system”
prevented them from investing in the country.
“Simply blaming the system isn’t enough. Instead, to make India
corruption-free, a mass movement along the lines of the freedom
struggle needs to be launched,” he said.
Dosanjh was Tuesday feted by NRI Sabha Punjab, an organisation
representing some five million people of Punjabi origin living
across the world. He was honoured at the group’s seventh annual
convocation in Jalandhar, some 150 km from here.

Dosanjh honoured for corruption; root it out he says. Some rooter; some Dosanjh. Pigs root in the trough. Here, pig. Here is some pork from the Librano$$$$$$$$ Librano$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$
WOW!!!
Great Scoop Kate!
Milewski’s reputation may never recover.
Sierra & Sigmund et al, I’m not sure why you’re calling for Grewal to go away. He has been cleared repeatedly, by various sources.
Is he the most sympathetic of underdogs? No.
Is he the victim of character assassination? Yes.
Has he contributed, through odd behaviors, to his demise in public esteem? Yes.
To lump him in with Dosanjj is unfair. You’re shooting the messenger, and feeding the Liberal fires under his feet. I suppose you think Harper should resign since he didn’t see the Stronach debacle coming?
No Hobbes.
this is a democracy… like it or not the Canadian public bears as much responibility of the political corruption that we’re seeing as the party leaders. We put up with it and let it happen.
It’s up to the Canadian public to find representatives that will stop the corruption and then vote them in to stop it!
in this case the public needs to let Martin & Harper know of thier disatisfaction and let them know we are watching.
unfortuately most Canadians are too apathetic to care. and so they keep getting away with this crap!
Sierra, I don’t know why you are bringing Harper and Grewal into the corruption equation, the Liberals are the ones with their fingers in the cookie jar and continue to get a free ride from the MSM. Jake
Haste
It seems that I was a little hasty in reacting to the allegations that Gurmant Grewal broke election financing laws. First, conflicts of interest for two of Grewal’s accusers were exposed, and now Kate has the goods on the rest of the mess.
A lett…
Terry Milewski should be sued immediately. He made the accusation on National TV that a cheque that was made out to Gurmant Grewal personally was an undeclared campaign contribution, when it in fact was a repayment of a debt that was owed to Mr. Grewal.
This just stinks, and I still can’t believe the number of people who persist in pointing their finger at Grewal, when it is so obvious that he has been the target of a vendetta. I hope none of you are ever falsely accused of something, only to have people continue to vilify you even when you are completely aquitted.
Grewal’s “crime” was to expose the Liberal’s M.O. The fact that they never faced the music, but instead slandered him, by using both the RCMP and the CBC, should elicit sympathy for him, not condemnation.
Don’t be so goddamn credulous. It’s sickening.
If it was a repayment of debt, why didnt Grewal say so? HE said a tax receipt was issued. Grewal is a nightmare. Harper sould fire him.
Lets be honest: if Gurmant were a wealthy white guy with a good grasp of English, would this have happened?
The CBC likes to falsely raise the spectre of racism at every possible opportunity in order to help its government masters, but its own behaviour in this won’t receive any scrutiny.
I have not ever been surprised by any of this. The dude has been assaulted by the most instant smear campaign ever orchastrated by a free press. How does is the cbc supposed to have ANY credibillity when right-of-center viewers have all beared witness to the depressing bias they have proven regarding this issue. Do I really need to talk about Jean Brault and that warm day in Saskachewan?
They broke and ran with ALL of the negative Grewel stories…
But never really did have a word to say about Good Mr. Iron Man’s tapes. or his (limp)”vindications…
p.s John Smith
What ARE you talking about?
This cheque looks strange to me.
A cheque (once cleared) is usually imprinted in the lower right hand corner (on the same line as the account # information) with a 10 digit number that basically indicates the amount of the cheque.
Have a look at one of your returned and cashed cheques. A cheque for $1234.00 would be imprinted below the signature line with the code: 0000123400.
This is test that auditor’s use (or at least used to use) when examining cashed cheques to ensure the bank had actually processed them.
Admittedly, this credit union may not do this however I understood that this was common practice.
Looking at the face of the cheque I’d say that it had not been cashed…
hmmm…
Martin has declared war. Parliament is not sitting. Is this legal? Is Martin in contempt of Parliament?
STEPHEN THORNE Fri Jul 15, 5:04 PM ET
OTTAWA (CP) – If Canadians were shocked that the head of their military called his enemy “detestable murderers and scumbags,” they better get used to it. Gen. Rick Hillier has never minced words, nor is he likely to start any time soon.
ADVERTISEMENT
His blunt assessment of terrorists in
Afghanistan and elsewhere this week has the wholehearted backing of the prime minister.
“General Hillier is not only a top soldier, he is a soldier who has served in Afghanistan,” Paul Martin said Friday in Nova Scotia.
“The point he is simply making is we are at war with terrorism and we’re not going to let them win.”
Grewal has conducted himself as only an innocent man could. It’s not the same as being politically savvy, but hey, at least he has behaved with dignity. Interesting how determined the Librano$ are to undermine him, with the help of the media, course. Obviously there is more to those tapes than meets the ear.
Knight: I believe your “P.S.” was for yoyo, not John Smith, no?
The CBC should be sued for slander at the very least shoddy reporting and biased in the extreme. It is the liberals who should be under investigation, not Grewal. If anyone is wondering where these accusations are coming from check out the Vancouver Sun.
GREWAL’S ACCUSERS BOTH LINKED TO UJJAL DOSANJH
and there is your answer.
It IS a royal P***-off that these accusers are linked to Dosanjh, but it is downright revolting that this sneaky little Dosanjh/Liberal con-job revenge plot should get a national prime-time airing on CBC, just because one of Dosanjh’s buddies gives a call to our government media network.
The CPC should take legal action against the CBC — turn the tables on the Liberal gang members for once. I don’t see how they can let this go. Someone repayed a personal debt to Grewal, with a cheque that was made out to him, and not the party, and then Milewski goes on National television and makes the false accusation that the money received was an unreported political contribution. And all this this based on the baseless allegation of a Dosanjh supporter.
There is too much in this story for the Conservatives to let it go. I really hope that they don’t. When the media doesn’t pick up on things, you have to stick it to them, with a sharp legal point.
No party in the Commons has exactly covered themselves in glory this year.
The Liberals are corrupt that is without question. Harper and the conservatives arn’t corrupt but they sure are stupid sometimes. half the political battle is with the media and public opionon and Harper & co. look like absolute rookie morons when it comes to dealing with the media. Like it or not Skill in handling CBC and CTV is probably the most important skill a politician needs, and is a skill that the Conservatives are sorely lacking. Harpers lack of success in Ontario has less to do with thier ability to run the country or thier “secret agenda” it has more to do with thier total ineptude to use the media to get their message out there. Yes the media is hostile to them… all the more reason they need to skillfully manage thier message. Grewal is a liability if he can’t learn how to present a message to the media… Secretly taping a conversations is not the way to do it…
I agree with EBD.
If no one sues the CBC, Globe and Mail or Star, they will all continue to support corruption.
The Liberals like to play ball, let’s play hardball.
The media like to play games, let’s play snakes and ladders.
I agree, sue them, I’ll contribute to the fund. In the meantime the CPC needs to learn how to play hard ball they need to go after the health minster big time. Strike while the iron is hot, fight fire with fire.
Considering Milewski’s experience with the Liberal government in the Peppergate scandal – you would think he would have a little more sympathy for a man undergoing a smear campaign. Why is he now acting like a PR man for the PMO?
“Why is he now acting like a PR man for the PMO?”
Maybe Jim Munson is leaving the Upper Chamber which means the Senate Journalist Seat will be open. Naw! It’s the francophone’s turn for the appointment.
Sierra said “Like it or not Skill in handling CBC and CTV is probably the most important skill a politician needs, and is a skill that the Conservatives are sorely lacking”
Sierra the MSM are liberals, they are corrupted. The CBC is very much afraid of having a conservative government and are activly smearing away doing their best to try to stop that from ever happening .
They will never help the Conservatives.
Why tie yourself in knots trying to find something equally shameful about the conservatives to match the liberal crimewave.
Mike Puffy and Mansbridge on the liberal payroll does not make a knock against the Conservatives in any way comparable to the filth the liberals are covered in.
WTF!
The most important skill a politician needs is the ability to see the right policy that benifits Canadians and be able to convince others with their argument. Not serve up dead socialist shit with politically correct toppings to appease the moonbat lefty freaks at the Communist Broadcasting Corporation.
I doubt I will see a better post in a long long time.
Thank you Kate.
Richfisher wrote, “The most important skill a politician needs is the ability to see the right policy that benifits Canadians and be able to convince others with their argument.”
Exactly!!! very well put…
The problem is the CPC while they have the right policy they royaly SUCK at “convince others with their arguement” part. Right now the NDP and the Greens are more persuasive in thier arguements.
Grewal Areas
Being a casual observer of Canadian politics, I casually present some thoughts on Gurmant Grewal and those around him. Here is a casual summary: Grewal, originally a Liberal, has not won friends with several members of the Liberal and New
> Right now the NDP and the Greens are more
>persuasive in their arguements.
Right. And that became apparent how, exactly?
Oh right, the liberal media talking heads. CBC said the Conservatives aren’t convincing in their arguments, so it must be true. CBC said the NDP and the Greens are convincing in their arguments. And of course, they would know…
The NDP and Greens are only convincing if your brain is full mush.
Face it, any party deemed to be the least bit right wing will be questionable as to press coverage. The left wing moonbat media does not want anything to do with conservative values, unless it is negative, and that’s a fact. So unless your a tree hugging socialist marxist moonbat, you can forget it.
Was out for most of the day so I’m late to the party. Very, very good news.
I agree with EBD.
Grewal should sue Terry Milewski immediately. Call a news conference Monday morning first thing and sue the crap out of him. And do not accept an out of court settlement. Then, during the discovery, try to uncover some proof about other shady goings ons. I love discoveries if I’m on the side asking the questions.
Grewal should also sue the CBC, CTV and several newspapers for slander at least. And don’t accept an out of court settlement with them either.
Finally, the CPC has a suit here as well. The CPC should take up all the time between now and this fall when the House sits again with this story. Keep it in the news by filing suit against the Liberal Party of Canada and some of the MSM. The lawyers will have fun with this if the CPC gives the go ahead. Just make sure to use Alberta lawyers.
Someone else mentioned hardball. I love hardball. I want to see the CPC get down and dirty on this one. Now is the time. If they mess this up I think I’ll go live on an island.
John is right, it is time for hardball.
Suppose someone owed Martin a couple of hundred dollars, and paid him back with a personal cheque signed to “Paul Martin”, with no mention of the Liberal Party anywhere on it.
Now imagine that the next day, because of that cheque, and based on the word of some bit-player on the executive of a Conservative riding association, some reporter accused Martin on prime-time national television of taking a campaign contribution and not issuing a recipt. Do you think the broadcaster and the reporter might be sued? (Hint: that’s a rhetorical question).
For the Conservatives, it’s starting to appear that all those years spent helplessly watching the Liberals institutionally consolidate their power with the takeover of previously public institutions has left the CPC with the political equivalent of battered-wfie syndrome. And the Liberals are starting to show that they KNOW it.
If Harper doesn’t fight on this one, there’s no real fight left in the party. Grewal may not be the most sympathetic characater at this point because so many people see him as discredited. But like SPooky said, it’s the Liberals and the liberal talking heads who have spun that fiction. And it IS fiction. Monday’s broadcast was sure not journalism. It was more like the Liberal overlords singing through a rented bird. I have never seen a news segment with such a strange, very bad edge to it.
This is the same story that has played out over and over again. Anytime there is evidence of a Lie-beral scandal the MSM relentlessly attack the opposition.
In 2000 right after Shawinigate came to light, the big story was scary, anti-semitic Stockwell Day and his secret religious agenda, support for Israel and diabolical plans for two-tier health care. During an interview with him Wendy Mesley looked like she had just swallowed a bottle of Cod Liver Oil.
The only exception was Peppergate in which the offended parties were mostly left wing. At the time Milewski seemed like a hero when fired by the CBC. Not anymore, rather… Canada has her own Dan Rather now.
Great find, Kate, and very interesting. Is there a scan of the Dhanan $600 cheque?
Much of the image of weakness or silence from the CPC is our own fault.
Why are there no loud public demonstrations of discontent, anger and protest against the criminal injustices of the Libranos?
Peaceful Public demonstrations are the best way to publicize a just cause. If the CPC are smart enough to provide well worded printed info sheets to the marchers, their side of the story can be publicized at very little cost.
The media, no matter how weighted, are obligated to cover a march of any reasonable size. There is plenty of just cause for protests against the Libscams.
Every public sports event I go to there is cheering for both teams.
How unnatural is it that all political cheering in the public media is so one sided?
We are all so critical of Harper and the CPC about not getting the message out. Look at what they are up against. The MSM’s richest customer is the Libscammer government. 73s TG
I agree the CPC & Grewal should sue. Hell, Tim Murphy is suing, and suing columnists that used his TAPED CONVERSATIONS as a source!
This is just insane.
Sierra, enough with the relativism. The CPC and the Fiberals are NOT the same, Harper and Martin are NOT the same. Actually, if you listen to the Grewal tapes or read their transcripts it become very clear that Paul Martin DOES support this kind of political behaviour, so it’s rather rich that you want Martin and Harper to speak out against it! Grewal was absolutely right to tape his conversations to cover his a**. And if you think the type of behaviour exhibited by Dosanjh and Grewal are because they’re replicating India, you’re mistaken — they’re just not as slick and experienced as the big Librano machine. Perhaps an audit of Quebec ridings would demonstrate even worse behaviour and corruption.
Tony, Canadians aren’t the marching types, and you know what? It wouldn’t get the sort of coverage that you would want. The problem isn’t that the media vote Liberal, it’s that they are de facto members of the government. No, at this point we need lawyers. What happened on Monday was slander, innuendo, character assassination and it was so very, very bald. What John C. said about the asking side of things and the delights it brings.
I’d march with you, but there might only be four or five of us. Maybe I’m cynical, but in Alberta, getting people to march against the Liberals is about as easy as getting people to march against tapeworms.
I don’t mean to insult Liberals, I was just trying to be funny in a folksy, western way.
Based on the cryptic contextual cogency of richfisher’s 11:22 comment, I think the only proper acronym for an opposition party would be the WTF.
As in, the WTF party: For people who say, sincerely, WTF?
The media tend to ignore or minimize demonstrations they don’t agree with:

Politicians in Canada are puppets to organized Bureacuratic Corruption that controls everything. Canada has become the South America of North America. The media is a paid-off propaganga machine. There is no hope for this Country unless our higher Civil Servants are all overhaulled and told to find jobs in the private sector that has nothing to do with government or public service.
I hope everyone is explaining this to their children. I am, in great detail. I am explaining very carefully how the Libranos operate, and how the MSM operates just like another government department. I am explaining how the Libranos ignored their defeat in our Parliament. I am explaining how the GG is a pathetic joke. How Libranos use their ugly machine to put our money in envelopes. How the CBC is a Librano propaganda machine. All of it. I explain all of it. Every night at the dinner table. Perhaps this generation is lost. I am just one voter, but I have three that are less than a decade away from voting dine with me every night. I am doing everything I can to be sure that if my generation can’t stop them, then their generation will stop these hypocritical crooks from trashing our country further. That is, if it’s not too late.
The Libranos know how to shun a reporter that doesn’t tow the line. Career over.
There is another way to end a reporting career: to have the mask of objectivity fall off in public.
Terry has a dilemma: career damage by the Libranos, or career damage by being losing the appearance of being objective.
He’s already suffering one of those fates in my house. He could redeem himself if he has the guts to run with this information and face the Libranos. I’m not going to hold my breath, however.
My fellow patriotic Canadians:
We are at war. Nonviolent, civil war. With those who have hijacked our great nation beginning in the fall of 1993. We must break free of the confinement and torture imposed on us by the hopelessly corrupt, undemocratic, selfish, uncaring Liberal Party of Canada who has kidnapped each and every one of us and continues to hold us ransom for our own money.
We have, through no fault of our own, not quite realized this fact until recently, when our gradually but steadily building suspicions of this quasi-slavery reality quickly became knowledge beyond a reasonable doubt. We have all the evidence compiled since the Liberals seized our country and confiscated an ever-increasing amount of our property.
We now are reasonably, justifiably certain that the current state regime has quietly, sysetmatically exerted increasing control over all private and public institutions and agencies of the state. Arms’ length relationship? A Liberal lie. Independence of the media and judiciary? Ditto. Proof for the intelligent, reasonable person: media is strictly controlled by the CRTC. Judges are appointed by the political leader who calls all the shots and who alone deems, as he sees fit, what will be.
I declare now is the time for the people and their real representative, the Conservative Party of Canada, to FIGHT BACK. FIGHT FIRE WITH FIRE. USE THE ENEMY’S FILTHY TACTICS AGAINST THEM. SUE, SUE, SUE! FORCE THE MEDIA TO REPORT ON THE TRUTH! BE RELENTLESS! THERE IS ONLY ONE TRUE GOAL: VICTORY! LIBERTY IS PRECIOUS AND BELONGS TO ALL OF US GOOD, LAW-ABIDING CITIZENS.
AFTER ALL, THIS IS OUR COUNTRY! IT DOES NOT BELONG TO THE LIBERAL PARTY OF CANADA! THEY STOLE IT FROM US!
IF WE DON’T FIGHT FOR OUR LIBERTY, WE WILL NEVER HAVE IT AGAIN!
WE MUST USE EVERY LEGAL, NONVIOLENT MEANS AT OUR DISPOSAL TO DEFEAT THE DIRTY ROTTEN SCOUNDRELS!
WE MUST DO THIS TOTALLY UNITED IN OUR GOAL. WE MUST EXERCISE OUR TRUE PATRIOT LOVE AND STAND ON GUARD FOR THEE! THE TIME IS NOW! EVERYONE COME JOIN THE FIGHT FOR LIBERTY AND DEMOCRACY AND FOR THE FUTURE OF THIS GREAT NATION, CANADA!
CORRUPTION, OUT, DAMNED CORRUPTION! BE THEE GONE, DICTATORSHIP! PURGE THEE, KLEPTOCRACY!
ONWARD, SOLDIERS OF THE PEACEFUL LIBERATION OF CANADA, THE TRUE NORTH STRONG AND FREE!
THIS IS OUR COUNTRY!

How can the CPC be more pursuasive in thier arguments? Their arguments and positions are well thought out. What they lack is a method to get that message to the public without said message being bastardized and spun. In case you haven’t noticed we have no politically centrist media (never mind right leaning, except for the western standard) in this country. The orchestrated character assassination of Gurmant Grewal bears this out. Right from my community newspapers and local radio and TV onto the national scene. All with a unified voice. Not with a trace of doubt.
Look at the fat plum that hangs here at SDA. I have my doubts that publication of this information will get any further than this.
I am long past the point of believing that the media in this country are simply reflecting their own biases in their reporting.
Their lack of curiosity regarding Grewals innocence or motives and affiliations of his accusers is willful and demonstratable. This is not arbitrary or accidental. And what I find scary, is that they don’t seem to care how obvious it is becoming. There are no challengers to these shapers of public opinion.
Instead of protesting to Terry Milewski, you should be writng directly to Liza Frulla. (Who you might ask?) She’s the Minister responsible for the CBC.
Do you think she’s even aware of this? …Not a chance.
I cry for my country.
I think another course to follow is to complain to the CBC ombudsman. I suspect the email addy is ombudsman@cbc.ca
Another point I want to make – those who comment that “Grewals behavior is strange” are basing that conclusion solely on the same media reports that are misrepresenting the facts. I’d withhold judgement on that quarter as well.
Strange…he acted with conviction, in my opinion.

Grewal, strange? Absolutely not if you leave aside the fact that he regularly tapes conversations, and that he once counselled a dictator.
