  • Dear Prime Minister, Stephen Harper
    1 BODY OF FORMAL LETTER JULY 2010 Dear Prime Minister, Stephen Harper, The only point of writing the Prime Minister of Canada ( with copies to the Leaders of the Opposition parties) is to demonstrate serious issues of concern to the general public, and the fact that violations of federal law and regulations, not the least of these being violations of federal mandates regarding scientific research and health standards (implications to listeria/salmonella outbreaks (incompetent researchers)/ swine flu vaccines and deadly emerging diseases) and perhaps most importantly concerning the Constitution the deliberate and malicious violation of the Charter of Rights and Freedoms. To any honest politician hoping to build a better Canada that alone should be enough, but the public must be involved to measure just how elected officials respond to such important issues especially when the issues criminal conspiracy and the obstruction of justice, and betrayal of the public trust can also be demonstrated. The matter of fake scholarships for incompetent Elite children so they may take positions and jobs from qualified but unconnected (politically and financially) middle and working class children: misuse of taxpayers' monies for Elite socialism .That is the overall importance to the public and basis of sending you all this material. The matter of the public inquiry of the former P.M Brian Mulroney, and Karl Heinz‐Schreiber letters and your choice of the University of Waterloo President David Johnston to set out the MANDATE for the inquiry is the basis and relevance of my letter to you. A MANDATE decides what any inquiry may or MAY NOT investigate, and if the person setting that mandate is not independent, but has a predisposition, bias ,or prejudice to misdirect the inquiry, which is not revealed (indeed expressed to be the complete opposite) then justice will not be served even if a false impression is made that it has.
