Cadman, Take a Stand Against Corruption -- & -- Memory Lane on $$$ Interests and Political Power

* Contact David Kilgour and Chuck Cadman to Support a Conservative Non-confidence Motion -- No Charge / Toll Free Line 1-866-599-4999

Lines may be very busy but there is still five hours to go before the vote. This is a most corrupt, profligate with Canadians' tax $$$, cynical and vote-buying government to which Canadians have been exposed in most Canadians' lifetimes.

Get rid of the corruption. Vote out the Liberals.

Memory Lane: Reminders from 2004 when Belinda Stronach ran for leadership of the Conservative Party of Canada -- along with a few of my comments



‘FACT CHECK’ REALITY CHECK -- from a year ago on Frost Hits the Rhubarb Mar. 4, 04


To save readers time, I have excerpted my own post from a year ago.

$$$ May Not Bring You Love, but This is a Great Second Best

Andrew Stronach, the brother of Belinda, registered an online gambling outfit in Barbados that is owned by Magna Entertainment Corp., a subsidiary of Magna International.

See article below on Brian Tobin, ex Liberal Minister, who apparently wanted to lead the Liberals but was thwarted by JC or those who saw a new day dawning with Mr. Clean, Paul Martin. Ha!.

Does Ms. Stronach not represent a particular region -- called the Centre? But of course, that is too logical. The Center is the ONLY region, as long as Quebec gets to run the civil service and the government, Toronto remains the centre of the Centre and received opinion -- and nothing changes for the Canadian power elite -- whether Liberal / Red Tory / NDP of the champagne socialist variety. We would not want too many principled MPs in Ottawa, now, would we? Something might change; THEY MIGHT NOT UNDERSTAND HOW THINGS WORK! Really! NJC

A Newfie Has Made It to the Winners' Circle

Brian Tobin to run Magna's real-estate and gaming firm -- 'To be announced' Sean Gordon, Canwest, Mar. 3, 04

OTTAWA - Brian Tobin, the former Newfoundland premier and federal industry minister, has been tabbed to run the real-estate, gaming and horse-racing company controlled by Magna International chairman Frank Stronach, sources say. [Note that word gaming -- not gambling. NJC] . . . .


Magna Entertainment oversees a panoply of horse-racing and off-track betting interests

[. . . .] Mr. Tobin is one of many former politicians who have joined Magna advisory boards. Former Ontario premier Mike Harris sits alongside Mr. Stronach on the board of Magna International. Former Ontario premier Bill Davis sits on the M.I. Developments board. [Magna International Developments Board NJC]

Well, we can be pretty sure that if Belinda Stronach wins the leadership race, her campaign ads won't be harping on Paul Martin's various upper income and corporate tax breaks, or the shelter in Barbados. As the National Post pointed out today, Stronach's father has saved himself Canadian income tax on about 200 million dollars of salary in the past 10 years - by shifting his 'principal' place of residence, and paying himself through out-of-country branches of his company. Meanwhile, Belinda's brother is taking advantage of Paul's Barbados tax haven for an online gambling operation.

Nope, there won't be much mention of tax havens and CSL if Belinda wins. Yet another reason the Liberals are probably pulling for her in the March vote.

Note: That was written one year ago when Belinda wanted to lead the Conservative Party of Canada.

May 18, 2005, the Liberals now have Belinda and her connections.

Between $$$, the moneyed tribe, global 'business' interests and politics, the circle is unbroken.

Stronach avoids Caribbean connection questions CP, Feb. 28 2004

Documents leaked to The Canadian Press on Thursday show that Futuristic Entertainment Holdings Inc., an online gambling outfit registered in St. Michael, Barbados, was at one time owned by Magna Entertainment Corp., a division of Magna International. Its current status is unclear.

[. . . . ] "I'm no longer authorized to speak on behalf of Magna. I resigned Jan. 20. I was never an officer of Magna Entertainment, so you'll have to ask Magna and Magna Entertainment."

[. . . . ] Most Canadian companies must pay tax of roughly 40 per cent on their income.

Magna founder Frank Stronach - Belinda Stronach's father - and his son Andrew had a falling-out two years ago over ownership of betting software being developed through the company.
