Canada's Elliot Abrams: Canadian taxpayers are paying a hardline pro-corporate, pro-Washington, former diplomat hundreds of thousands of dollars to coordinate the Liberal government’s bid to oust Venezuela’s government.
Meet the hired gun Ottawa is using to overthrow the Venezuelan government.
The brazenness of Ottawa's intervention in the South American country's affairs is remarkable. Recently Global Affairs Canada tendered
a contract for an
individual to coordinate its bid to oust President Nicolás Maduro. According to buyandsell.gc.ca, the Special Advisor on Venezuela needs to be able to:
Use your network of contacts to advocate for expanded support to pressure the illegitimate government to return constitutional order.
Use your network of civil society contacts on the ground in Venezuela to advance priority issues (as identified by civil society/Government of Canada).
Must have valid Government of Canada personnel TOP SECRET security clearance.
The "Proposed Contractor" is Allan Culham who has been Special Advisor on Venezuela since the fall of 2017. But, the government is required to post the $200,000 contract to coordinate Canada's effort to overthrow the Maduro government.
Culham is a former Canadian ambassador to Venezuela, El Salvador, Guatemala and the Organization of American States. During his time as ambassador to Venezuela from 2002 to 2005 Culham was
hostile to Hugo Chavez's government. According to a WikiLeaks publication of US diplomatic messages, "
Canadian Ambassador Culham expressed surprise at the tone of Chavez's statements during his weekly television and radio show 'Hello President' on February 15 [2004]. Culham observed that Chavez's rhetoric was as tough as he had ever heard him. 'He sounded like a bully,' said Culham, more intransigent and more aggressive."
Comment: The anti-smoking agenda is even more egregious considering tobacco can actually have many benefits for some people, and because all the diseases attributed to its use are actually due to a number of other, unrelated factors, such as pollution and diet (the kind that's pushed by governments):
- A comprehensive review of the many health benefits of smoking Tobacco
- The oldest people on Earth are all smokers!
- UK hospital asks snitches to trigger anti-smoking alarm if people smoke outside
- Pestilence, the Great Plague and the Tobacco Cure
