Dentons endorsed the Isle of Man tax evasion system. https://t.co/oSTIbobyNq
Dentons created from merger of SNR Denton, Fraser Milner Casgrain and Salans and later merged with Chinese law firm Dacheng in 2015.
Interesting to note this senior partner of Dentons worked with Jack Ma. (Ant, Alibaba etc. ) https://t.co/n5KLiof1Ck
2014 Harper was dealing with China when Ma said he intends to sell almost a quarter of a million Canadian lobsters, ten times what it moved the year prior. https://t.co/CZ7jT3PBSV
After he left office Stephen Harper like Jean Chrestien and James Moore ended up working at Dentons.

The company calls the relationship with Harper a "strategic affiliation," noting that Harper remains chairman and CEO of his own consulting agency.
Harper worked out of the Dentons office in Calgary. https://t.co/Xpmo1WswKj

At Brookfield there are concerns insiders wield such power that the companies below them could face risks similar to those of “pyramid control companies”, according to a draft investor disclosure that Brookfield filed with the Securities.https://t.co/0lZYaOMfS1
Brookfield Asset Management and Doha connected with Brookfield Property Partners (BPY). Through a sovereign wealth fund, Doha holds $1.8bn worth of BPY and Qatar can force Brookfield Asset Management to buy them back for $1.8bn over the next 6 years. https://t.co/m3bCvbj4i6
In 2018 Brookfield's Senior Manager James Flatt's base salary was $795,334 with $5,385,958 in shares making his total compensation $6,181,292. Giving shares to CEOs is a horrible tax loophole. Reduces taxes 50%. They should be paid in cash. https://t.co/YeNr8HosUv
Brookfield Asset Management unveiled sweeping changes to its "unusual" ownership structure that for decades has given a secretive group of self-styled partners the right to wield huge influence over the US$500-billion investment firm. https://t.co/h8BjL4tSqI

Covid recovery money is going to the oligarchy.

Ottawa and the provinces have put very little on the table to help clean-tech companies directly during Covid 19 while targeting fossil-fuel producers with more than $16 billion in aid.

Coast to coast people have demanded treaties be honored. We demanded climate action, divestment and land back but Canada is not listening. This video shows 10 years of rallies in Waterloo Ontario. City & regional council declared a climate emergency. 🚨

The Bank of China (BOC), SNC-Lavalin and WE Charity were recipients of taxpayer-funded the Covid 19 Canadian Emergency Wage Subsidy (CEWS)

We need to talk about the 'expert' witness statement evidence led by Ms Bell in her successful case before the Tavistock. THREAD

You can see who gave evidence in her support from these extracts from the Tavistock's Skeleton Argument.


Helpful for you to bear in mind that her solicitor was a man called Paul Conrathe, who has a long association with the religious right in the US (I have talked about him a number of times but this is as good a starting point as any).


I am not going to address here other criticisms that might be made of the form in which that evidence was given or the timing of its service before the court. I am just going to address, in alphabetical order, the individuals whose evidence Mr Conrathe led on Ms Bell's behalf.

The first witness, alphabetically, was Associate Professor of Sociology at the University of Oxford, Michael Biggs.

Mr Biggs was exposed for posting transphobic statements online under a fake twitter handle: @MrHenryWimbush according to this report.
