  • Honorary Patron of EUSI – Her Honour, Lois Mitchell, Lieutenant Governor of Alberta President's Enews President's Comment
    Honorary Patron of EUSI – Her Honour, Lois Mitchell, Lieutenant Governor of Alberta EDMONTON UNITED SERVICES INSTITUTE President’s Enews February 2019 The information in this newsletter is for informational purposes only. The Edmonton United Services assumes no liability for any inaccurate, delayed or incomplete information, or for any actions taken in reliance thereon. President’s Comment Friends and supporters of the EUSI, Kung Hai Fat Choy. This is the Cantonese New Year’s greeting which means hoping you all will have a prosperous year with money befall upon you. This year is the year of the pig and Chinese New Year’s Day is on February 5, 2019. At this time, two Canadian nationals are in custody in China, accused of engaging in espionage activities. Most will agree that this is a retaliatory action against Canada for holding the Chief Financial Officer of Huawei Mobile, Ms. Meng Wanzhau on a US request for extradition for fraud charges stemming from American sanctions against Iran. For those who do not understand the sensitive nature of the Iran sanction matter, a brief explanation as follows: Iran has reported a huge success in nuclear development allegedly “only for commercial energy consumption”. Iran has succeeded in launching its own satellite as early as 2005 without much fanfare. With the Iranian success in long range missile testing seven years ago, the threat of “space wars” looms. We know that research and development of weapon system of this magnitude requires a lot of money, which Iran obtains from trading oil. However, with a US sanction against Iran for failing to curtail its nuclear weapon expansion, financial transactions are secretive and probably illegal.
