There is a LOT of connections and details in there... but the one I focused on was China Merchants Bank.
The other interesting connection is Jean-Paul Gauthier... guy from Montreal who worked for the World Bank for a long time and essentially convinces governments to create "Special Economic Zones", which often enable corruption.
1/ It isn't really accurate to say PWC has "little history with software". There are many different teams within the company, including technology. Those are separate from the accountants.
2/ I looked into this "Civil Resolution Tribunal" system that PWC built for British Columbia. It is a similar concept, but much smaller. It is essentially a custom-built portal that runs on Salesforce .com... this is an important detail.
1/ Doug Ford and Karla Ford still both have mortgages, even though they sold their house in August for $2.7M???
2/ Sylvia Jones’ husband has boatloads of investments, including the Broadway Village Plaza in Orangeville with a lease to ServiceOntario. I guess that’s how she got that $4000 Prada purse.
On the same day that Putin kills his political opponent, Doug Ford awards ANOTHER massive construction contract to Strabag (partially owned by Russian Oligarch Oleg Deripaska)
🤮🤮🤮🤮
Thread 🧵on Doug Ford's ties to the international student scandals at Ontario's colleges, which also intersects with the foreign influence scandals.
Let's dive into Doug Ford and St. Clair College...
1/ St. Clair College is based in Windsor with over 16,000 total students, including almost 5,300 international students. There is even a GEM residence exclusively for international students (more on that later).
2/ Many of the St. Clair College students not at the main Windsor campus attend Ace Acumen Academy, which is a private career college with a licensing arrangement for providing college certificates from St. Clair for International Students. Ace Acumen Academy has 3 GTA locations.
