Updated: Li Ka-shing Benefactor, CSL & CITIC -&- Follow the Yellow--Red--Brick Road #1 to #7

Two Updates follow and there is another new post below, entitled "More Skunks at the Garden Party":

Update 1: This occurred in 1986 ...

Canada Steamship Lines partnered with China in 1986 -- "There’s a stench here that smells more like nepotism than narcissus." -- "A business cooperation agreement was signed here today [1986] between CITIC (China International Trust and Investment Corporation and CSL (Canada Steamship Lines Inc.)." Brian McAdam & Judi McLeod, Friday, December 16, 2005


Update 2: This is how to network -- how it is done in Canada

I noticed an advertorial that is worth the price of the National Post today. There is a MASSIVE advertisement of Li Ka Shing's* vast generosity to Canadians:

Li Ka-shing Gift of Knowledge to St. Michael's Hospital

St. Michael's Hospital receives transformative $25 million gift to build one-of-a-kind institute

You might want to learn more about Li Ka-shing, benefactor to Canada, to various politicians, as well as learn more of his network both in China and in Canada.

May I suggest you start digging. As time permits, I shall post (that is, if I am able to even enter Blogger to post). I posted some information, News Junkie Canada (Feb. 24 or 25, 04, Mar. 1, 04) and, while some links have Gremlins (Spoor) and one source has been defunct for a while, there are others for the same information. I have posted new links since, perhaps in Aug, Sept. or early Oct. 2005 -- when hackers were very active. I shall look further. There are other links on Frost Hits the Rhubarb, as well.

* variously spelled Li Ka-shing, Li Kashing, Li Ka Shing I have noted. There are probably other names . . . if you are interested.

Table of Contents only: Follow the Yellow--Red--Brick Road #1 to #7 -- includes a brief idea of what are included

I have not had time to write an adequate introduction to all of this. Perhaps it is not necessary. If you skim all seven posts, you will get the idea. NJC



Follow the Yellow--Red--Brick Road #1

The Universities: Centers for Intellectual Exploration of Ideas and Free Speech . . . or are they? -- Global Governance and Paul Martin -- "A blueprint for world government " -- Paul Martin's vision for the globe

"an example of how the global governance crowd through NGO's and the UN are able to bypass the electorate"

Note that there is Gremlin Spoor: a link was missing

Defeat of Bills C-31, C-32 -- "the opposition parties joined forces and defeated Bills C-31 and C-32, the bills to split the Foreign Affairs Department and the International Trade Department." -- "things came out of the" Foreign Affairs Committee that caused the critic and the leadership to say they didn't want to support the bills. "-- "there are problems"

There is mention of Louise Frechette, Kofi Annan, the UN, and more.

Note: What follows is lengthy but I believe it has more impact now that some time has passed and an election is in the offing. It is time to consider this government's priorities. The place to start is with the Budget. Anything in green is important or has implications, in my estimation, while red is used to draw attention to others. I have commented liberally throughout, usually coloured blue, but not always.

Suggestion: Always note Gremlin Spoor in the original posts. I have found that when links become corrupted, it is usually worth looking further.

I believe that the first link developed a problem, too, so maybe people did not get the file nor the full impact of the PM & Team's plans.

The Budget 2005: Chapter 6 -- "Meeting our Global Responsibilities" -- the chapter with security information -- Note what is emphasized in chapter 6. -- This is the chapter with the details that should not be missed; emphasis is all. The following is from my commentary on the original document when I first posted.

This chapter includes several aspects before it gets to what we usually think of as protecting Canadians' security-- RCMP and CSIS -- "eye-catching blocks. Note what is highlighted" -- much more emphasis on the "global" than on the "national" and this chapter seems heavily weighted in emphasis toward trade and business.

Background: Tracing Threads and Networks

What follow are what I consider the main points of the post Media Hatchet Job in the Maritimes ... Global TV 'News' posted Dec. 6, 05

That one item is what started this quest to learn more, an investigation which grew and became more wide-ranging than that little news item on Global TV would have led me to expect.

Preserving Indigenous, Non-Official, or Second Languages -- "Commissioner Dyane Adam used a four-day government business trip to Beijing" . . .

This section will explore another government project--an academic project, possibly an academic job development and departmental expansion project--using tax money which benefits a few and which, in this case, may not help the natives, but will use the good-will of its participants.

Globalization and UN activism in Canada with Big Brother and the Enablers

This section touches upon the Kyoto Accord, women's issues and issues not discussed, media complicity in the closing down of debate and discussion . . . and why.

A quotation from that section:

What must change in Canada is the disenfranchisement--the exclusion from discussion--of the views of Canadians whose positions differ from those of the current government, the mainstream media located in Canada's centre, and those who live off the work and taxes of others. . . all those--erroneously--known as 'elites'. Government funding and perquisites do not an 'elite' make.

While I have considered Kyoto and women's issues as incomplete explorations of societal concerns, as well as mainstream media and government's complicity in narrowing debate, it is the UN's influence in all this in Canada that presently concerns me. . . .
