Wake up Canada. The prevailing government continues to do this to you over and over and over... It's only ever about money (that is stolen from the tax payers) and power, that the try to keep so that they can steal your money. Then the lies are spewed forth. Gross!

We now need to look into all of the Trans Mountain pipeline and many others. Every single politician at this point is compromised until proven otherwise. This is extremely dangerous for our country and the USA! Every single one of them should be investigated!

Can U.S. extradite Canadian politicians who committed corruption against its citizens and corporations? In my investigative report on the Gordie Howe International Bridge Scandal, I interviewed a globally recognized legal Scholar, Dr. Gary Botting, Ph.D. Law & Ph.D. English. He is a former criminal defense lawyer and considered a leading authority on extradition law. "Absolutely," says Dr. Botting, provided the alleged fraud is demonstrably true. "The U.S. is prepared to move forward— they're ready to extradite," he asserts, referencing the case of Huawei executive Meng Wanzhou. Full report in the comment section.

U.S. Ambassador Pete Hoekstra maintains his position that Canada is not paying for the Gordie Howe Bridge, Canada only "financed" the construction. Hoekstra also says that the owners of the Ambassador Bridge donated to his past congressional campaigns. Hoekstra: Where have those (costs) been absorbed by the Canadian taxpayer? Faulkner: Well, the cost of the project was delivered by the Canadian taxpayer. Hoekstra: Really? Faulkner: Yes.

The scandal that puts Canadians in multigenerational debt: The Gordie Howe International Bridge project that will connect Detroit to Windsor was pitched as a billion dollar project in 2012 by the Harper government. The trouble is that the cost is now estimated to be around $7 billion dollars. However, studies suggest toll revenue will never be enough to recoup the cost, and with interest payments the bridge will likely require decades of taxpayer subsidies that could amount to $52 billion dollars. Here are the facts: 📌 There is an already existing bridge in the area called the Ambassador bridge which offered to build a second span for free. 📌 American government is not paying a dime for the project, and Canada is paying for all costs including the custom compound and the highway interchange on U.S. soil. 📌 In 2010 the government manufactured the DRIC report to justify the new bridge, it had gross miscalculations and inaccuracies in projecting the cross border traffic to increase over decades to come. 📌 Empirical data shows that cross border traffic has overall declined more than 50% in the area for last 2 decades, and there’s no reason for it to rebound. 📌 Studies demonstrate that even if the traffic stopped declining, and Gordie Howe were to charge 3 times more in toll than the ambassador bridge next door, and drivers were to prefer to chose paying more for some reason, taxpayers would still have to subsidize the bridge for at least 6 decades. 📌 The procurement process was shady as transparency and fairness letters were issued 1 day before the awarding. 📌 AECON dropped out of the bidding process the last business day, and then was allowed back in to join the winning consortium for reasons unknown. 📌 The construction giants that bid against each other in this project are actively working together on other multi billion dollar P3 projects across Canada while bidding against each other in other projects. 📌 Amarjeet Sohi was the infrastructure minister at the time whose brother’s trucking company that he did not disclose was already doing business with VINCI in the federally funded Regina bypass project. Navdeep Bains blocked AECON’s sale to China, and Sohi allowed AECON to join back into this dream project for some reason. Bains was also giving sole sourced contracts to Sohi’s brother’s trucking company. 📌 WDBA says they expect to finish off paying the bridge in 30 years by collecting toll revenue, and then start splitting the revenues with the state of Michigan. But given that toll revenue alone will not even be enough to pay the hundreds of millions of dollars in annual interest, the Michigan taxpayers might be asked to pay for the bridge to make up for the shortfalls in toll revenue. 📌 Canadian politicians both liberal and conservative have put Canadians in multigenerational debt by actively participating with nefarious construction giants. 📌 Allegations of bid-rigging are worrisome as corrupt companies like SNC-Lavalin participated in the bidding while they were under a 10-year ban by the World Bank for committing corruption in the poorest countries of the world. 📌ACS which the project was awarded to also have a history of corruption around the world. 📌 VINCI which partnered up with SNC on the GHIB project was already working with Sohi’s brother’s trucking company on the Regina bypass project. This is how an unnecessary bridge that was pitched as a billion dollar project ended up costing $7 billion dollars, and will require tens of billions of dollars in subsidies to make up for the shortfall in toll revenue. Only Amarjert Sohi and his nefarious nexus Including domestic and foreign construction giants will benefit at the cost of Canadian and U.S. taxpayers. I asked a legal scholar who’s considered to be the leading authority on extradition law if these Canadian politicians could be extradited to U.S. Check out the comment section to watch my full report.

EXPOSED: Canadian Federal Corruption in the Historic P3 Regina Bypass Project in Saskatchewan High-level corruption within the Public-Private Partnership (P3) project of the Regina Bypass Project. The project, costing taxpayers $2 billion, is now under scrutiny for potentially being the largest documented case of corruption in Canadian P3 history. Bob Rai, a Canadian aggregate supplier, armed with leaked documents, secret recordings, and other evidence, alleges that the Saskatchewan government and federal officials were involved in corrupt practices in the Regina Bypass project. Evidence suggests that the Saskatchewan government silently provided aggregate for free, only for VINCI-RBDB to sell it back to the government at retail prices, summing up to a staggering half a billion dollars. A significant focus of the investigation into the Regina Bypass scandal is the alleged involvement of Amarjeet Sohi, Justin Trudeau's former infrastructure minister with a background of terrorism-related charges in India. Accusations center around Sohi's purported facilitation of Whiterock Ventures Inc. (WRV), a trucking company linked to his brother and election donors. "He came to the trucking company from Ottawa. He did not list his travel and expense it to the federal government," Rai claims, suggesting that Sohi's visits were deliberately kept off the official records. "The reason that he came is because he is personally involved in the loot of taxpayers' money." Further intensifying the allegations, Rai points out potential nepotism and favoritism in the project. "We have somebody that is completely uneducated, can barely speak broken English, overseeing a multibillion-dollar project. So when Amarjeet Sohi became the infrastructure minister, his head was full of dollar signs, all he wanted to do was make projects compromised by using his authority and his power as the Infrastructure Minister of Canada." Another layer of complexity involves the executive committee member for Vinci-RBDB, Gordon Pasini, a Canadian whose name appeared in the Panama Papers. The investigation into the Regina Bypass project has uncovered several alarming contractual anomalies, each raising significant concerns about the project's transparency and execution.

Corruption: The Real Reason Trump Won’t Allow the Gordie Howe Bridge to Open? U.S. President Donald Trump announced yesterday that he will not permit the opening of the new international bridge spanning the Michigan River. The P3 project is several years late and has seen billions of dollars in cost overruns. It not only has the hallmarks of bid rigging, collusion, and antitrust breaches, but also involved the Canadian government allowing some of the most notoriously corrupt construction giants to participate in the procurement process, such as SNC-Lavalin, VINCI, and ACS Infrastructure. On top of all that, the procurement and the early stages of the project were overseen by Canadian politicians with direct ties to Sikh extremists, namely affiliates of the World Sikh Organization (WSO), whose executives have a long history of proximity to violence and terrorism. In this video report, I summarize my initial report from February 11, 2024, where I interviewed industry expert and whistleblower Bob Rai, who provided me with evidence he compiled over more than a decade, and Dr. Gary Botting, a double-PhD, former criminal defence lawyer, and leading expert on extradition law. Dr. Botting complimented Mr. Rai’s research skills, saying it warrants an investigation by authorities, and outlined that the U.S. does have standing to prosecute and extradite those involved in the project if it deems the allegations to be prima facie. The cost of the project, which is being absorbed entirely by Canadian taxpayers, is about $7 billion, but according to a 2018 study by Toronto professor Eric Miller, it could take the bridge more than 61 years to pay off its debt, with total taxpayer subsidies ranging from $14 billion to $52 billion over the life of the project. Amarjeet Sohi, a former suspected Khalistani terrorist who was jailed in India, and who has faced credible allegations of corruption involving his family and election donors’ firm in another P3 project, was the infrastructure minister who oversaw most of the procurement process, including key stages such as the selection of the preferred bidder for the Gordie Howe International Bridge Project. Sohi hired a WSO executive’s son, as an assistant at the time, while the other son was hired as director of operations by Defence Minister Harjit Sajjan, whose father was also a WSO executive. Navdeep Bains, another minister whose decision-making had influence over the project, was himself a WSO executive. The question arises how much influence the WSO, an extremist organization with a history of condoning violence, may have had over Canadian politics and, in turn, over the project.

🚨What exactly did Canada get in return? After giving up major negotiating leverage, including 50% of the Gordie Howe Bridge net revenues, Canada is facing another round of tariff threats. To be clear, Canada will pay down debt incurred to build the bridge using money left over after sharing revenue with the U.S. Canada invested $6.4 billion to build the bridge, the US $0. Concessions are supposed to secure results. We need a strategy that puts Canadian workers and businesses first. #cdnpoli

The notoriously corrupt construction giant SNC-Lavalin had been banned by the World Bank when the Canadian government allowed it to bid on the Gordie Howe International Bridge project. The cost ballooned repeatedly from early estimates of about $1 billion to roughly $7 billion, and according to a 2018 study by Toronto professor Eric Miller, Canadian taxpayers could face between $14 billion and $52 billion in subsidies over the life of the project, since toll revenue may not be sufficient to cover the debt and interest on the bridge. Firms that worked together on other projects, like the notorious Eglinton LRT, ended up bidding against each other on the Gordie Howe project, which raises hallmarks of bid rigging and collusion. The result was the Bridging North America consortium, comprised of Spanish giant ACS Infrastructure and Canadian giant Aecon, winning the bid despite the fact that Aecon had mysteriously dropped out at the last minute, only to be allowed to rejoin after the contract was awarded. According to researcher Bob Rai with a strong background in the industry, this raises questions about how ACS Infrastructure secured the bid after losing its partner at the last minute. Will the U.S. probe the procurement process?

So the Liberals idea of privatizing Canada's airport is selling it from Canadian taxpayers to Canadian taxpayers. > Canada Strong Fund - which doesn't exist yet and funded with $25B in deficit. > Canadian Pension funds - which is Canadians' money needing ROI. > Indigenous Communities - for no reason, who will get loans backed by taxpayers. This will all drive airpor feeds up by nature and there will still be $10B+ needs to be paid off by taxpayers. It's clear that Steven MacKinnon, Minister of Transport of Canada, had no idea what he is talking about.

Can the U.S. Extradite Canadian Politicians for Corruption? Insights from the Leading Expert on Extradition Law In this exclusive extended interview, Dr. Gary Botting (PhD in Law, PhD in English), a 30-year former Criminal Defence Lawyer and author of the leading textbook on Extradition Law, provides expert insights on transnational government corruption, the U.S.-Canada extradition process, and the shortcomings of modern journalism. Dr. Botting explains the escalating nature of corruption in an allegory: "It's like a snowball—you start rolling it down the hill, it's all big fun, but all of a sudden, it becomes an avalanche. And there is a car down below, and the avalanche hits the car, knocks it into a train, and the train goes off the tracks and rolls into a house… Where does it start and where does it end? But the point is, look at the kids throwing the snowballs, I guess, first, and work your way down until something significant—where there is intention to defraud, intention to act corruptly, to siphon off federal funds so the little businessman doesn't get the advantage of that, but only the huge megalithic corporations. That's where this problem begins and ends, I think. The investigation into whether the megalithic corporation—tied to corporate greed and connected to Canada’s cabinet—is actually functioning in a way that is detrimental to Canadians and, ultimately, to Americans as well." Dr. Botting criticizes the mainstream media for failing to dig deep enough into corruption: "Having been an investigative reporter myself, it's a lost art, I think, unfortunately. I write novels, legal texts, and that's challenging enough, but what needs to happen is the writing of an exposé to show exactly what has happened here in the case of the [Gordie Howe International] Bridge and the [Regina] Bypass, and how corruption is alive and well in Canada." Sections of this interview were released last year for the Gordie Howe International Bridge Scandal report. To mark it's anniversary, we are releasing the extended version of this interview with valuable insights from Dr. Botting. Follow and support Media Bezirgan for more quality journalism.

Reporter: The President threatened to block the new Gordie Howe Bridge, which would connect Detroit to Canada. This is a bridge that was fully paid for by Canada. It used American labor to construct it. It used American steel to construct that bridge. The president in 2017 was actually in favor of this bridge. Why has the president changed his mind as it relates to this bridge? Leavitt: The fact that Canada will control what crosses the Gordie Howe Bridge and owns the land on both sides is unacceptable to the president. It's also unacceptable that more of this bridge isn't being built with more American made materials. The US should own half of the bridge.

Foreign Interference: Has a Terrorist Organization Infiltrated Canada’s Government? "The World Sikh Organization not only controls the Unity Party government in Canada – it is also an asset for CSIS,” highlights former Sikh Bob Rai, who left the religion due to its hijacking by extremist, terrorism-supporting organizations. "They never spoke for me, and I do not support their extremist and terrorist ideologies," says Mr. Rai, challenging the WSO's claim that it speaks on behalf of Sikhs in Canada. Through his insider knowledge, Mr. Rai reveals a potential conflict of interest concerning the WSO’s founding president, Gian Singh Sandhu, his daughter, BC Supreme Court Judge Palbinder Shergill, and the Air India Inquiry of 2006.

Rail is more than a means of transportation in Canada. It’s part of our story. For the first time in four decades, VIA Rail passenger cars that were once made in the United States, will be built in Canada, with Canadian materials, and by Canadian workers.

Our Prime Minister lied to all Canadians about the Gordie Howe Bridge. So did his Finance Minister. So did his Chief Whip, Mark Gerretsen. All three told Canadians the same story: the $6.4 billion debt would be paid off first. Then the US would get 50% of what was left over. That was a lie. The agreement, published on Canada’s own bridge authority website, says the US gets 50% of gross revenue minus operating costs only. Debt is not deducted. Interest is not deducted. Principal is not deducted. Canada absorbs roughly $500 million per year in debt service and depreciation. The US takes 50% of the revenue anyway. The only reason Canadians know is because the US government exposed the lie publicly. Three senior Liberals told Canadians the same false story. The Americans corrected the record. Not the Canadian Prime Minister. Not the Canadian Minister of Finance. Not the Canadian Chief Whip. The Americans. That is the country we live in now.

Carney was just asked if he lied by saying Gordie Howe bridge profits would only be split with US after accounting for construction debt, which is not what the agreement actually states In 3 min answer he says it's "a good deal" and that he could've explained it better #cdnpoli
