  1. We’ll never hear about any Canadian connection if he does, not if we have to depend on MSM. But no doubt the US will make it enough of a big deal that Canadians will finally understand one of the major reasons why we didn’t go to Iraq, besides the Quebec election, and oh, our role as peacekeepers in perpetuity.

  2. “… a certain Canadian?”
    Name could be Maurice Strong, Louise Frechette, Jean Chretien…. Librano$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$
    Here is a date we must not miss: Mark your calendar: Schmooze with the Librano$$$$$$$$$$
    Louise Fr�chette, Deputy Secretary-General of the United Nations, will deliver the 2005 Keith Davey Lecture at Victoria University on Wednesday, November 9, at 4:30 p.m. in the Isabel Bader Theatre, 93 Charles Street West.
    >>>>>>> Notice a city/town/village/crossroads is not specified. Everyone knows it’s in New York City, right?

  3. Keith Davey – That’s enough to throw me off my Ben & Jerry’s this afternoon. Old Librano$ never die, they just get awards named after them.

  4. Total Fina Elf…follow the money right into the pocket of the major Canadian share holder. Now the bureaucratic rats are preparing to jump for it…should be interesting watching the cracks grow in Kofi’s armour.
    Anyone wonder if a company like Total Fina Elf had a business plan that foresaw $60-$80/bbl oil prices and focussed on huge underdeveloped Iraqi oil fields? “Money makes the world go around, the world go around….” – the UN version requires the song be sung with french accent.

  5. Over/back at Saddam/Maddass H.:
    Scary word coming up…… “dissolved”. Mad, indeed.>>>>>>>>
    Saddam�s family dissolves legal team
    AMMAN, Jordan (AP) � Saddam Hussein�s family said Monday it has dissolved his international legal team in a move seen as reorganizing Saddam�s legal counsel ahead of his upcoming trial>>>

  6. Never mind that such strong believers in free trade were supporting a ban on free trade, the UN messed up!
    If we hadn’t had sanctions, the Iraqi’s may have had more contact with the West, they might have absorbed more of our ideals, and they might have revolted and set up a democratic government.
    Of course this would first require that dictator Saddam not be so powerful because he had been propped up by America for decades, but he was.
    Oh well. LET’S TALK ABOUT THE UN!!

  7. So you think there is a Canadian in all this?
    A little tale of corruption & intrigue…
    It may pay you to spend a few minutes tracing the connections of Paul Desmarais and Power Corp. to the leading politicians, etc. of Canada.
    This association explains the Kyoto pact:
    JOHN RAE: leading strategist for Prime Minister Chretien’s election campaign. Was Executive Vice- President of Power Corp. and Paul Desmarais’ right- hand man. His brother is….
    BOB RAE: ex-NDP [Socialist] Premier of Ontario, who appointed….
    MAURICE STRONG (his god father)to the hairmanship of Ontario Hydro, which he proceeded to dramatically cut in both skilled human resources
    and generating capacity [to provide a future need for power from James Bay] Past CEO of Desmarais’ Power Corp., Strong received an appointment to the UN as senior environmental advisor to the UN Secretary-General and Chairman of the Earth Council. HE was responsible for the Kyoto accords.
    More on Moe Strong: http://www.afn.org/~govern/strong.html
    PAUL MARTIN: current federal Finance Minister. Rose through the ranks at Power Corp., mentored by Paul Desmarais. Bought Canada Steamship Lines
    from him. Ran against Chretien for Liberal Party leadership.
    JEAN CHRETIEN: Prime Minister. Daughter, France, is married to Andre Desmarais, son of Paul Desmarais, chairman of Power Corporation. Chretien’s “advisor, counsellor and strategist” for the past 30 years has been …
    MITCHELL SHARP, who brought Chretien into politics when he was Finance Minister. Sharp has been, since 1981, Vice-Chairman for North America of the corporate globalist Tri-Lateral Commission.
    DANIEL JOHNSON: Liberal [and Opposition] leader in Quebec Rose through the ranks of Power Corp. Key in delivering federal spending to Quebec based Power Corp. and other corporate welfare cases in the province
    BRIAN MULRONEY: ex-Conservative Prime Minister. Now a lawyer and lobbyist for Power Corporation which, together with Ontario Hydro and Hydro Quebec, has just formed the Hong Kong-based ASIA POWER CORP., to help China to develop its energy potential. Power Corp.’s legal interests in Asia will be handled by a Hong Kong branch of Mulroney’s Montreal law firm, Olgilvy, Renault.
    PIERRE TRUDEAU: past PM and former Power Corp. lawyer. Introduced into the company by his father who had business connections to Desmarais. PET signed over millions to Power Corp. under federal grant programs. Desmarais funded his election campaign.
    So…we have the CONSERVATIVE party [via Mulroney], the LIBERAL party [via Trudeau and Chretien], and the NDP [via Rae] all tightly connected to….Paul Desmarais and Power Corp. And we have the Prime Minister, the Finance Minister, and the Prime Minister’s key aide all tightly connected to….Paul Desmarais and
    Power Corp.
    We now see the Power Corp. key alumnus in the UN Kyoto deal which so coincidentally benefits the (largely unpublicized) business interests of
    Desmarais alumnus. Maurice Strong has now joined Brian Mulroney and Paul Desmarais in investing in the Asia Power Group’s $100 million venture capital in “small coal-fired power plants being built in the south of China”. They are also
    looking at “larger projects in northern China, as well as in Malaysia, the Philippines and India.” The Asian economies are expected to spend $1 trillion [US] on essential infrastructure, of which an estimated $400 billion [US] will be on power generation. Chinese and Asian labour costs are low – as low, in China, as $45 per month – and potential profits are enormous.
    The Nov/Dec. 1993 issue of Council on Foreign Relations’ publication FOREIGN RELATIONS contains an article, THE RISE OF CHINA, in which we are
    warned that China will begin to use more energy than the United States within a few decades, massively straining the world’s energy supplies. If you were a power company investment magnet where would you place your future fortunes? In a nation wracked with environmental paranoia or a
    developing, unregulated energy hungry industrial giant? China is gearing up to be the world’s dominant manufacturing power. Most of China’s energy comes from the burning of soft, high-sulphur, highly- polluting coal. In 1991 alone, 11 trillion cubic meters of waste gases and sixteen million tons of soot were emitted into the atmosphere over China – and it has only just begun its long process of increased energy generation! The sulphur in this coal causes acid rain. The burning of the coal releases carbon dioxide into the atmosphere, the most efficient “greenhouse gas” in the global warming process.
    There are indications that Strong , Desmarais and their crones (under ghost corporate affiliates) are behind the current rash of buying of low grade coal mines in depressed nations to fuel these projects. But this is yet to be fully substantiated. Who would invest so massively in low grade coal when it was targeted as Kyoto taboo commodity?
    Maybe someone who knew in advance they would be able to burn it with out regulation in China? Green house fears bottomed out the price of these coal purchases. If it can be used for power generating fuel, you stand to have a very
    inexpensive fuel source. China continues to burn coal in it’s power production unregulated by Kyoto.
    Now the real hook. You remember Maurice Strong? Desmarais’ familiar and corporate confidante, ex Power boss, major investor in 3rd world coal fired energy enterprise? Well Maurice ended up appointed to the UN as head advisor to the UN Secretary-General on environmental affairs Is this irony? He was campaigned for that position
    by Canada’s PM’s and diplomats. As such, he called a little multi national conference called Kyoto! Maurice and his friend Jean Chretien wrote and signed an agreement which effectively
    will destroy their pal Desmarais’ chief energy competitor (Alberta Nat Gas) and gave Power Corp investment in China coal/energy an enormous competitive advantage.
    Anyone who thinks this as mere coincidence is unaware of the networking of internatinal corporate elites. This revelation makes it clear the Kyoto earth summit was a vehicle used by corporate (Strong/Chretien) bag men to create a huge global shift in power generation profits. They were backed by one of the worlds most
    devious businessmen.
    Oh, and Paul Desmarais? In September, 1993, he joined the Tri-lateral Commission. He spearheaded the Tri-lat initiative of promoting a Kyoto-like conference over concerns for the planet from carbon emissions produced by the DEVELOPED NATIONS.
    And you thought it was all about saving the planet? For whom?

  8. Okay, so can we now lay the blame for Kyoto where it belongs, and quit pretending that scientists have invented climate change as a scam?
    btw, Power to the People, how is it that your email address is at powercorp.com?
