The House: The Disruptor-in-chief goes to NATO
U.S.
President Donald Trump took his confrontational approach to diplomacy
to the NATO summit this week, where he sideswiped his fellow alliance
leaders with a litany of accusations, questionable demands on spending
levels and a sudden threat to pull out of the alliance entirely.
That has left national leaders — Canada's included — asking the same question they've been asking for almost two years now: what can be done to mitigate Trump's tactics?
Not much, says former Conservative defence minister Peter MacKay. His advice? "Keep calm and carry on."
MacKay told The House today that Canada needs to keep its focus on building its military capability, contributing to NATO missions and working toward other alliance goals. Beyond that, he said, there's little anyone outside the U.S. can do to rein in the president's behaviour.
"This is the new normal," MacKay said.
Trump has been pushing for the 29 allied nations that make up NATO to speed up their commitment to increasing defence spending to two per cent of GDP — a goal set in 2014 with a 10-year deadline.
Currently, most NATO nations aren't hitting that target. Trump emerged from the summit claiming he'd pressured the members into meeting his demands — although French President Emmanuel Macron quickly shot that claim down, pointing out that the summit communique only committed the allies to the two per cent target set before Trump was elected.

In the middle of the meetings, Trump shifted the goalposts suddenly and argued that the spending benchmark should be increased to four per cent of GDP. Behind closed doors, his rhetoric was apparently alarming enough for NATO Secretary General Jens Stoltenberg to call an emergency session of leaders.

Focus on the alliance, not Trump: retired general
It would be "impossible" for Trump to unilaterally pull out of NATO, Ben Hodges, a retired U.S. lieutenant general who led the NATO Allied Land Command, told The House.
But he can still do the alliance a lot of damage, he added.
"Cohesion of the members of the alliance is our centre of gravity," he said. "It's unfortunate when any leader pounds other members."
He added he thinks Trump has no understanding of how NATO works, although his advisers do.
Hodges said Trump has a valid point — that allies should be spending more on defence — but his fixation on the two per cent target is blinding him to the fact that NATO partners make other types of contributions.
Earlier this week, Trudeau announced that, beginning in the fall, Canada will assume command of a NATO training mission in Iraq for its first year, with a commitment of up to 250 troops and four helicopters.
Trump may not count that as a contribution to the GDP goal, Hodges said — but that just shows that spending isn't the only yardstick for measuring the alliance's success.
"This is not about satisfying the American president. This is about allies contributing to their share of the burden."
Matt DeCourcey, Parliamentary secretary to Foreign Affairs Minister Chrystia Freeland, told The House Canada will continue to remain a "committed contributor" to NATO.

NATO is arguably the most important international organization Canada takes part in, and is "as important now as it ever was," he said.
That emphasis on solidarity will be key heading into Monday's meeting between Trump and Russian President Vladimir Putin.
"The happiest guy on the planet right now is Vladimir Putin because he's watching the American president swing a wrecking ball towards the alliance," Hodges said.
"We're doing the job that Putin would normally have to do himself."

Unity vital between premiers as trade battle brews, Gallant says
Tensions between the provinces have been high in the past year — especially out west, where British Columbia and Alberta have been feuding over a thwarted expansion project for the Trans Mountain pipeline. Ottawa ended up buying the pipeline from Kinder Morgan for $4.5 billion.
Gallant, who is hosting next week's annual premiers meeting in New Brunswick, said he fully expects that topic to come up, along with the perennial irritant of interprovincial trade.
No matter what the dividing issues are this year, however, he said he's hoping all premiers keep an open mind.
"I think it's going to be very important as premiers to be as united as possible," he told CBC Radio's The House.
"There's a lot more that binds us together than divides us."
Remaining cohesive is key, given the trade war percolating between Canada and the U.S., Gallant said.
"Trade in all of its aspects will be top of mind next week."
Canada moved forward at the beginning of the month with $16 billion in tariffs against our southern neighbour — retaliation for U.S. tariffs on Canadian steel and aluminum imposed a month before.
Gallant is advocating a "quicker" approach to getting an interprovincial free trade agreement up and running and said he expects his counterparts will agree, given the sour atmosphere hanging over trade talks with the U.S.
International and interprovincial trade aren't the only topics that have been causing friction in the federation lately.
The federal government has been under fire recently for renewing the existing equalization formula for another five years despite strong objections from some provinces. The extension kicks in next year.
Equalization, which is based on a highly complex formula, is designed to help poorer provincial governments provide public services that are reasonably comparable to those in other provinces.
Saskatchewan has expressed its displeasure with the federal government's methods for calculating equalization payments and its government has suggested an alternative plan.
Premier Scott Moe made a formal request to add equalization to the meeting's agenda, Gallant said, but that schedule was solidified weeks ago.
He told guest host Katie Simpson he'd invited Moe to bring it up in the open portion of the meeting.
The premiers will be in St. Andrews, N.B., from July 18-20.

Father of bullying victim Rehtaeh Parsons calls Ford's sex-ed repeal 'infuriating'
On Wednesday, the newly-elected Progressive Conservative government of Premier Doug Ford announced the sex-ed curriculum to be taught to children in the coming school year will be an older version — not the controversial updated program brought in by the previous government.
The curriculum will revert back to the version taught in 1998, excluding recently added topics such as same-sex marriage, masturbation, online bullying and sexting.
"It's infuriating to see them do this," Glen Canning told CBC Radio's The House on Friday, adding that teaching consent in schools might have made all the difference for his daughter, Rehtaeh Parsons.
In November 2011, the Nova Scotia teen attended a party where she said she was sexually assaulted.
An explicit photo was taken during the incident — one that would be spread among the kids at her school and lead to months of online bullying.
Seventeen-year-old Rehtaeh was taken off life support in April 2013 after attempting suicide.

Rehtaeh Parsons' death changed the conversation about sexual assault and consent

"I think I'd still have my daughter with me right now."
Canning said repealing the curriculum means children and teens in Ontario won't learn about topics that can help them feel safer in school — like consent, LGBT issues and sexual violence.
He accused Ford of scrapping the curriculum to appease his party's socially-conservative voters.
Ford's new education minister, Lisa Thompson, said the government is planning to consult with parents on a new curriculum to replace the one adopted in 2015.
But Canning said too many parents are failing to teach their kids the facts about sex, sexual exploitation and bullying now. If schools and parents fail to address these topics properly, he said, more teens will suffer the way his daughter did.
"What happened to my daughter was preventable ... it was preventable with a good sex education program."

Rehtaeh Parsons’ father: the 2015 sex ed curriculum could have saved my daughter
When
the Ontario government introduced its new sex-ed curriculum in 2015,
Glen Canning was living several provinces over in Nova Scotia, but
decided to take a look anyway.
He wound up reading the entire curriculum — all 239 pages — and when he finished, his thoughts immediately went to his daughter, Rehtaeh Parsons, who died from suicide two years earlier.

Pandering to far-right minority won't help kids
Doug Ford. (File photo)
The answer to that is easy. It has nothing to do with respecting parents, or teachers or even education and has everything to do with Doug Ford keeping his promise to the far-right evangelical sorts, like Charles McVety or Tanya Granic who, let’s not forget. supported Ford’s candidacy for Conservative leader. Political opportunism at its slimiest.
I’m appalled that Conservatives like Vic Fedeli and Caroline Mulroney, who I thought maybe were thinking people, have gone along with this. Like I said, slimy opportunism.
Where will children learn about consent, setting boundaries, proper names for body parts, who to tell if someone touches those body parts that shouldn’t, inclusivity, gender issues, etc.? Well, according to Conservatives, and anyone else who is against the new curriculum, it will be parents. I would like everyone to put up their hands if their parents told them all about consent, boundaries and the rest. I thought so.
The best thing I read all week was when Glen Canning said, "If every parent isn’t educating their children at home, none of our children are safe.”
Canning is the father of Rehteah Parsons, who took her own life after telling her parents she had been sexually assaulted by four teens at a party in 2011. She had been a victim of cyber bullying and a picture of the incident had been shared on the internet.
He believes that his daughter would be alive today if the updated sex education curriculum had been taught in her school.
Canning is right that the teaching of consent is imperative in public school. If children are not taught how to arm themselves with information to help protect them from predators, cyber bullying, sexting and internet privacy, we are just leaving our kids hanging out there to be victims. It’s a different world now.
Of course, people fell for the lies that were told about the new curriculum. I believe those lies were rooted in homophobia and wanting women to stay as more compliant partners. They told people that the words “anal sex” were part of the gay agenda. None of that was true.
According to what I have seen of the document, its approach to sexual education was appropriate for varying age groups and was only a small part of the whole thing. Much of it focused on health and physical education.
Ford says he will consult with parents in a way that the previous government did not. Hmm … I guess the fact the Liberals had consulted with teachers, experts and 4,000 parents of elementary students wasn’t enough? But hey, why should we pay attention to the truth?
I worry about the kids who are putting up with bullying or touching as they walk down the hallways, or the ones who are being sent threats on the internet. I worry about parents who feel inadequate to deal with all of this stuff. The new curriculum would have helped so many find the tools to help themselves and others.
Given that the new assistant to the education minister is Sam Oosterhoff -- a young, home-schooled MPP who talked of the “sin” of homosexuality on his Facebook page -- I wouldn’t hold my breath for the Cons to move into this century. Has anyone told them that same-sex marriage is legal in Canada now?
Unfortunately, we have a premier and new government catering to a vocal minority. And it’s not going to help anyone, especially not our kids.

Ontario education minister flip-flops on sex-ed curriculum stance
Shawn Jeffords, The Canadian Press Published Monday, July 16, 2018 3:21PM EDT
TORONTO -- Ontario's education minister went back and forth Monday on
just what students will learn while her government scraps the province's
modernized sex-ed curriculum.
Ultimately, Lisa Thompson indicated that no decisions had been made on whether concepts like consent, cyber safety and gender identity will be taught in classrooms this fall.
The province's new Progressive Conservative government announced last week that it was reverting to a 1998 version of the curriculum while consultations are carried out to create a new document.
Thompson first told the legislature on Monday that not all parts of the
modernized sex-ed curriculum -- updated in 2015 by the Liberals --
would be scrapped.
"We know they need to learn about consent," she said at the legislature. "We know they need to learn about cyber safety, we know they need to learn about gender identity and appreciation. But we also know that the former Liberal government's consultation process was completely flawed."
A short time later, Thompson told reporters that only a portion of the curriculum will be rolled back, not the entire document.
"What we'll be looking at is the developing sexual relations," she said. "That's the part in the curriculum that we'll be taking a look at."
Late Monday afternoon, however, Thompson's office released a statement that appeared to contradict her comments from earlier in the day.
"We have made no decisions on what the new curriculum will look like. The final decision on the scope of the new curriculum will be based on what we hear from Ontario parents," the statement said.
"While these consultations occur, we are reverting to the full health and physical education curriculum that was last taught in 2014. This curriculum leaves ample space to discuss current social issues."
Premier Doug Ford repeatedly promised to repeal and replace the sex-ed curriculum during his run for the Tory leadership earlier this year and during the spring election, saying parents had not been adequately consulted.
Critics have said the 1998 version of the curriculum did not include many modern themes that children need to keep themselves safe online and did not address things like same-sex marriage.
The modernized curriculum included warnings about online bullying and sexting that were not in the previous version, and also discussed same-sex marriage, gender identity and masturbation.
NDP Leader Andrea Horwath said Monday's developments make it clear the Tory government does not know what it's doing on the sex-ed file.
"September is coming pretty quick," she said. "It's reprehensible and irresponsible that this government has left everything in such a disarray that educators in our province aren't even aware of what's going to happen come September."
Interim Liberal Leader John Fraser questioned why the government wanted to repeal a curriculum that has been taught in classrooms across the province for three years.
"It's irresponsible to cancel that curriculum," he said. "It's there to protect our children."
Jason Kunin, an English teacher in Toronto, said regardless of what the Tory government does with sex-ed, teachers will address modern issues in class.
"Whether you have it enshrined in the documents or not, you can't simply say we're going to pretend like these things don't exist and expect 60,000 teachers in Ontario to suddenly go along with pretending that it's 1998," said Kunin, who signed on to an online petition condemning the government's scrapping of the modernized health curriculum among other issues.
"You can repeal the curriculum but these conversations are still going to happen."

"Whether you have it enshrined in the documents or not, you can't simply say we're going to pretend like these things don't exist and expect 60,000 teachers in Ontario to suddenly go along with pretending that it's 1998," said Kunin, who signed on to an online petition condemning the government's scrapping of the modernized health curriculum among other issues.
"You can repeal the curriculum but these conversations are still going to happen."

Amid backlash, Ford goes into damage control
Doug Ford’s Ontario is open for business.
And closing its mind to the world around us.
And closing its mind to the world around us.
Instead of a personal opt-out, they demanded a provincial blow out. In sex-ed as in politics, the squeaky wheels get the lubricant.
In Doug Ford’s Ontario, the tail wags the dog. The premier fears the wrath of so-cons scorned, and so he plays along.
Never mind that the updated curriculum was wildly distorted by opponents. No matter that sexually transmitted infections are climbing rapidly, especially in the U.S. where sex-ed courses are similarly under pressure from evangelical movements promoting abstinence: syphilis rates quadrupled from 2000 to 2016 while chlamydia has doubled; and gonorrhea has jumped 46 per cent since 2010.
Ford’s government has officially rescinded a sex-ed curriculum that taught students the importance of consent, of tolerating difference (notably in sexual orientation and gender identity), of defending against bullying, and, yes, the names of body parts to help safeguard children against sexual abuse (empowering them to speak with greater precision to police when needed).
Victims of sexual abuse or bullying, and their parents, have publicly condemned Ford’s decision, warning it endangers lives. Glen Canning, whose daughter Rehtaeh Parsons committed suicide after an explicit photo of her sexual assault was shared online, described the government as “infuriating.”
Odd that so many pro-life activists would risk the lives of teenagers, and their sexual health, by campaigning against a conventional curriculum that empowers students at various stages in their education to protect themselves clinically, physically, emotionally and socially.
Now, facing a growing backlash, the Tories are belatedly attempting damage control — albeit through obfuscation, not education.
Education Minister Lisa Thompson, who proudly announced last week that the new curriculum had been suspended, claimed petulantly this week people were jumping to conclusions about what’s in and what’s out: “We are reverting to the ... curriculum that was last taught in 2014. This curriculum leaves ample space to discuss current social issues.”
That’s called trying to have it both ways, through mixed messages for teachers, students and parents. Meanwhile, the new curriculum will remain suspended while the government carries out what Thomson calls “fulsome” parental consultations — likely through the miracle of online interactions.
But while the Ford government fights to preserve the innocence (and ignorance) of students now in school, what about that cohort of kids who were exposed to the modernized curriculum introduced in 2015? For three full years, these young minds have been inculcated (indoctrinated?) with what the Tories view as dirty words and filthy smut.
What is to be done? Will Ford conjure up a re-education curriculum to right the wrongs he believes were inflicted on Ontario’s schoolchildren? Will he create mandatory summer courses to deprogram kids before they act on the updated curriculum — Sex-ed Detox for Oversexed Pupils?
As the premier likes to say, “Help is on the way.”
Sex-ed: ’90s nostalgia takes a cynical turn
There are those among us who would like to believe that nothing of substance has changed since 1998 or 1978 or 1958. As a parent of three kids in the public school system, I’m calling B.S. on that one, writes Joel Rubinoff.
Are they repealing it? Are they not repealing it?
When it comes to the province's updated sex-ed curriculum, threatened with annihilation by the Tory government in favour of its archaic 1998 predecessor, the waters are suddenly very murky.
First, in deference to social conservatives — a code name for people who view modern society as a Caligula-styled cesspool — they promised they would jump into Doc Brown's time-tripping DeLorean from "Back to the Future" and return to the Chrétien era, when things like social media, sexting and same-sex marriage didn't exist.
Then on Monday, after outrage from educators and parents who don't want their kids held hostage by moral reactionaries from another century, they said they would include bastardized lessons about some of these topics.
Then they reaffirmed, contradictorily, that they will be "rolling back our sex-ed focus," which means what, I don't know.
If they do decide to set the dial back to 1998, I have to admit I'm curious how it will pan out.
After all, the '90s — with their Billy Ray Cyrus mullets and Kurt Cobain flannels — were a more innocent time, as sweetly nostalgic as the world Marty McFly encountered when he travelled back 30 years in the 1985 movie blockbuster.
It was an age before big screen superheroes ruled the multiplexes and adult films like "Shakespeare in Love" could still find a welcome berth at the box office.
An age when water cooler TV hits like "Seinfeld" and "Friends" ruled the network roost and even dorky sitcoms like "Dharma & Greg" could muster decent followings.
An age when Lindsay Lohan, wide-eyed and innocent, starred in Disney's "The Parent Trap," family band Hanson released the bubble gum smash "MMMBop" and — before the internet divided the world into à la carte niches — the world was feeding from the same cultural trough.

The problem, from a sex-ed point of view, is that Biff Tannen
— the megalomaniac bully from "Back to the Future Part II" — is now
running our province.
And teaching a sex-ed curriculum that stems from the days when humans were still making tools out of rocks, sexually speaking, is like replacing the cutting edge safety features on modern cars with clunky misfires from an earlier generation.
Consider my life in 1972: my dad blasting down the highway in a station wagon the size of a yacht, a plume of black exhaust behind him, with my baby sister in the front row, no car seat or seatbelt, squashed between my parents.
Hey, at least it wasn't a Ford Pinto, which had the unfortunate habit of bursting into flames during minor fender benders.
Now consider my public school classroom of the '70s, a Darwinian killing field where only the strong survived.
I wasn't a he-man — more the cowering squirt in the corner — but had the self-awareness to stay the hell out of the fray as kids who didn't conform to traditional gender stereotypes were targeted, bullied and called "fag" until they broke down or moved to another school.
Gender identity? Cyberbullying? These were things Mr. Spock might have grappled with on "Star Trek."
Consent? When no didn't really mean no, what would have been the point?
For those of us over 40, 1998 wasn't really that long ago — a drop in the bucket since the 1960s'
"Youthquake" overturned stuffy social mores of the '50s and begat the culture wars of today.
But progress doesn't occur in neatly parcelled-out increments.
And when the internet ramped up in the early 2000s, spawning an era of sexting, cyberbullying and ubiquitous online porn, it changed everything.
There are those among us who would like to believe these things never happened, that nothing of substance has changed since 1998 or 1978 or 1958.
As a parent of three kids in the public school system, I'm calling B.S. on that one.
The perils of social media, the importance of consent, LGBTQ+ rights.
Had the new curriculum been in place a decade ago, a lot of the drama experienced by my stepdaughter's peer group could have been happily avoided.
"The new sex-ed curriculum doesn't just benefit parents who aren't comfortable talking about it," adds my psychologist wife. "It also benefits parents like me who are very comfortable.''
A few weeks before school ended, our 10-year-old son, Max — who has autism — came home troubled by a class discussion about the changes wrought by puberty, a subject my wife had broached previously with zero response.
Kids in the class were uncomfortable. Some had laughed. Max seemed unsure how to react.
"Everyone at that age is uncomfortable and giggles," notes Alicia, insisting it's stuff they need to know. "They're grossed out. It's normal.
"But it led to us having a conversation that opened the door for our autistic child to actually be able to talk about what I think is vital. This was a good thing."
My own opinion is that sex education is no different — and should be treated no differently — than math, science or accounting.
Parents are pivotal, but are they best suited to teach their kids about modern sexual mores and other "difficult" topics?
Are they a substitute for trained teachers and — despite the bogus criticism — a scientifically valid, heavily publicly consulted sex-ed curriculum?
Ha, ha. What is this, "Planet of the Apes"?
"If parents were teaching this at home, then why in 2018 do we have kids who are homophobic and racist and sexist and misogynist?" Glen Canning, father of assault victim turned suicide Rehtaeh Parsons, told The Toronto Star.
"Why do we have that? We have that because they're not teaching kids at home."
"And if you taught them nothing, you have no idea where your child is learning this stuff."
So to corset-bound puritans who figure ignoring modern realities will make them go away, there is only one solution: re-create the gull-winged time machine from "Back to the Future" and have a good trip.
If you can take our Biff Tannen premier with you, so much the better.

Date: Sun, 10 Jun 2018 16:32:39 +0000 (UTC)
Subject: Thank You, Ottawa Centre / Merci Ottawa Centre
To: David Amos <motomaniac333@gmail.com>
Thank You
From the bottom of my heart, thank you. Together, we made history as
we turned Ottawa Centre orange with a combination of bold ideas and
local organizing.
This was a true team effort. In total, 1,200 volunteers participated
in our campaign. To everyone who knocked on a door, entered data, put
up a sign, donated a dollar, or convinced family and friends to
support us, my sincere thanks.
We are thrilled to see the election of so many NDP MPPs across
Ontario, but let’s be honest: the reality of a Doug Ford majority
government poses a real threat to the progressive gains made over the
past few years, whether on minimum wage, reproductive justice, or
climate change. Our best defence against Ford’s destructive agenda is
an organized community - and this is what we will continue to build in
Ottawa Centre.
I am humbled to be given the opportunity to serve as your MPP, and to
follow in the footsteps of torchbearers like Michael Cassidy, Evelyn
Gigantes, Ed Broadbent, and Paul Dewar. I’m excited to build on the
movement that we’ve started and to continue to fight together for the
Ontario that we deserve. For the many, not the few.
My very best,
Joel Harden
Merci
Du fonds de mon coeur, merci. Ensemble, nous avons marqué l'histoire
en changeant Ottawa Centre par une combinaison d'idées audacieuses et
d'organisation locale.
C'était un véritable travail d'équipe. Au total, 1 200 bénévoles ont
participé à notre campagne. À tous ceux qui ont cogné aux portes, qui
ont fait de la saisie de données, affichés une pancarte, faits un don,
ou convaincu leurs familles et amis de nous soutenir, je vous remercie
sincèrement.
Nous sommes ravis de voir l'élection de tant de députés NPD partout en
Ontario, mais soyons francs: la réalité d'un gouvernement majoritaire
mené par Doug Ford menace le progrès réalisé au cours des dernières
années, qu'il s’agisse du salaire minimum, des droits reproductifs, ou
du changement climatique. Notre meilleure défense contre le programme
destructif de Ford est une communauté bien mobilisée - et c'est ce que
nous continuerons de faire dans Ottawa Centre.
C'est avec humilité que je deviens votre député provincial et que je
suis les traces de porteurs de flambeau comme Michael Cassidy, Evelyn
Gigantes, Ed Broadbent, et Paul Dewar. C'est avec enthousiasme que
nous poursuivrons le travail amorcé par notre mouvement, pour lutter
ensemble pour l'Ontario qu'on mérite - une province pour le plus grand
nombre, et non pour quelques-uns seulement.
En toute sincérité,
Joel Harden

>> that is recognized her own alongside other social control devices that

>> decision support, training or development of guidelines. These forms
>> of intervention have developed in various practice settings now at the
>> mercy of the demands expressed by these practice settings, sometimes
>> following an obligation imposed by the legislature to introduce ethics
>> by regulating structure.
>>
>> We set as the starting point of our work the following hypothesis:
>> the institutionalization of ethics is a social phenomenon that reveals
>> - at the same time having to participate - a hesitant transformation
>> and poorly understood in our reports to the norm in different
>> workplaces. In this context, the various forms of intervention in
>> organizational ethics are as many answers to the requests for the
>> purposes that are far from always converge.
>>
>> The projects included in our research program aims therefore to
>> contribute a share to a better understanding of the

>> (line 1) and, secondly, the development and implementation of
>> organizational ethics in intervention practices that are based more
>> effective and (2 axis). These two axes control research where some

>> (codes, structures consulting, ethics committees)? What are the
>> obstacles to successful implementation of a regulatory structure by
>> ethics (culture and construction conditions of organizational
>> identity, etc.)? What is the impact of current practices of
>> intervention in organizational ethics (stiffness mismatch between the
>> organization and empowerment of workers conditions of implementation
>> of the learning achieved;? Decreases in behavioral controls etc.)?

>> "The sponsors include two Toronto law firms connected to the KPMG
>> case. Osler, which began hosting events as far back as 2010, took on
>> KPMG as a client in 2013, defending it against the Canada Revenue
>> Agency's court action. Another Bay Street firm, Dentons, has sponsored
>> tailgate parties for each of the last five years and in court
>> documents is said to have provided legal advice as KPMG set up its
>> offshore scheme.
>>
>> A former Department of Justice lawyer, who now works for an accounting
>> firm, said the presence of government officials at these receptions
>> is a good thing and allows more informal networking than the
>> conference's daytime panels.
>>
>> "If you go to those cocktails, it's not about to talk about files.
>> I've never seen that happen," said the lawyer, who spoke on the
>> condition of anonymity.
>>
>> "It's about meeting maybe somebody that you talked to on the phone but
>> you've never seen. It's just about fostering… good working
>> relationships."
>>
>> Robin Benger, an independent documentary producer who directed The
>> Great Canadian Tax Dodge for TVOntario, investigated the tax industry
>> for more than three years and attended a 2013 Canadian Tax Foundation
>> conference. After listening to speeches by both government and
>> industry tax officials, he said, he vividly recalls the Osler
>> reception at the Royal Conservatory of Music in Toronto.
>>
>> "CRA top people" attended the party, he said. "They were being plied
>> with drinks and getting on roaringly with all the tax lawyers and
>> accountants."
>>
>> Benger says he was "stunned" by the relationship he observed between
>> the tax law companies, the accountants and the CRA. He argues the
>> "rule makers" were too close to "rule twisters."
>>
>> Osler and Dentons both declined to comment to CBC News.
>>
>> Benger also recalled seeing KPMG's head of tax, Elio Luongo, speaking
>> privately to CRA Commissioner Treusch after Treusch gave a speech to
>> the delegates on the last day of the 2013 convention.
>>
>> In a statement, the CRA said that its officials acted with integrity
>> at all times. "CRA officials who attended the receptions did not
>> intervene in the decisionmaking on the KPMG file," the statement
>> reads.
>>
>> For his part, Treusch said he has not had any conversations about the
>> KPMG case with any officials from the firm.
>>
>> "I have never discussed the KPMG litigation, including any
>> negotiations that may have occurred in relation to that litigation,
>> with any representative of KPMG at any time."

>> Great Canadian Tax Dodge on its way
>> November 27, 2014
>>
>> Cogent/Benger’s latest film, The Great Canadian Tax Dodge, has its
>> first broadcast on TVOntario at 9pm on February 4th, 2015.
>>
>> It is the product of a three-year investigation by director/producer
>> Robin Benger into the extent of tax avoidance by Canadian entities in
>> Canada and abroad, mostly via offshore tax havens in the Caribbean. “I
>> was astonished at the systematic pervasiveness of tax avoidance by
>> most mainstream Canadian companies on a multi-billion-dollar scale
>> with the apparent neglect of several generations of Canadian finance
>> ministers.”
>>
>> The documentary follows the story of a fair-tax campaigner in Ottawa
>> as he struggles to create a national movement; it looks at the views
>> of “the Wayne Gretzky of tax lawyers”, who asserts that legal tax
>> avoidance is a good thing; it examines legal cases that arguably lay
>> the blame on the courts for allowing companies to deprive Canadians of
>> millions of dollars of taxable revenue; and it reports on the seminal
>> Canadian influence in the setting up and running of the Cayman Islands
>> as a tax haven, and how tiny offshore jurisdictions like the Caymans
>> have become the agents of investment in major Canadian economic
>> sectors.
>>
>> Among those interviewed are John Christensen, James Henry and Dennis
>> Howlett from the Tax Justice movement; Antony Travers, one of the
>> masterminds behind the Caymans Islands financial system; Al Meghji,
>> Canada’s most successful tax law trial lawyer; Michael Wilson, former
>> Minister of Finance; and David Dodge, former Governor of the Bank of
>> Canada.
>>
>> “This revealing and brilliant film explains the strategies used by tax
>> avoiders and demonstrates the damage they cause. It contrasts the
>> scammers who promote tax avoidance schemes and tax havens with the
>> outnumbered and out-financed but public-spirited campaigners who are
>> leading the fight against them. For the sake of our democracies,
>> hopefully, it will spur governments to take action against rogue
>> states that act as tax havens and against tax avoiders and the
>> professional organizations and individuals that facilitate them.”
