The Evidence

Here are links to Internet published research by Mr. Kempo Esq. that draws the reasonable inference tens of millions of Canadians have been victims of prosperity theft since the early 1990s by the Liberal Old Guard.

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------

The findings are summarized as follows:

- Canada's parliamentary system has been plagued by extreme nepotism and patronage since before Confederation; plus the Liberal Party cumulatively governed this nation for three-quarters of the 20th Century - which constitutes trans-generational one party rule; both combined created a complete consolidation of power hidden behind the image of a mature, functioning and enviable democracy.

- When Trudeau Sr. came to power he began an aggressive program of monopolizing the economy for the benefit of the wealthiest. By the mid-1980s there was nothing left for the richest to invest in so they began to export evermore hundreds of billions of dollars a year to other countries (known as outward foreign direct investment). 

- The ever increasing and never subsiding poverty and homelessness rates over the last three decades are anecdotal proof of prosperity theft. What constitutes indisputable direct evidence are 

1) the fact that when the economy doubled between the early 1990s and 2010 the middle class gained no ground whatsoever; and 

2) from 1986 to 2006 the amount being exported rose from just under $100 billion to quintuple that over that two decade period (StatsCan). Most recently, The Conference Board of Canada calculated the amount in 2013 was $778 billion and by 2017 had skyrocketed to a staggering $1.12 trillion. To put it in context, the latter year's GDP was $2.18 trillion; so half of all the capital generated by the economy was sent abroad (as was the case in 2015 and 2016).  It is reasonable to a) infer this trajectory over the last two years has continued and b) predict it will do so if the political status quo is left intact.  [10 page analysis: PDF, Web]

- The top .001% have devolved into capitalistic psychopathology; an acute mental condition of totally losing one's humanity as a direct result of having a) a blindingly grandiose sense of self-worth because of a personal fortune in the billions, b) exercising control over so many, including political leaders and their cabinets, who uncritically place them on a pedestal, plus c) a callous disregard -- depraved indifference -- and absolutely no shame, guilt or embarrassment whatsoever for what many millions in their plundering wake experience in terms of life-long deprivation, all-consuming suffering, violence, total career, opportunity and financial loss, drug addiction, incarceration and premature death, self-inflicted or otherwise. Plus, there's an element of collective psychosis when this class of citizen combine their resources to guarantee the attainment of even greater stratospheric wealth - where the tenets of "more, more, more" and "never enough" are paramount in their chronically dysfunctional analytical processes.
