A whisper of our past echoed as the movers departed, leaving us amidst the scattered remnants of our former life. The only solace in this abrupt displacement? The phone was thoughtfully activated in tune with our arrival. The seismic shift from Vancouver wasn't by choice but rather the shadowed aftermath of a high-risk drug undercover operation. My 'evil twin', Bobby 'Spade' Williams, had daringly pierced the veil of notorious Vancouver criminal rings.But with great success came the spectre of danger. Ottawa's relative obscurity became a sanctuary until justice had its day in court. However, a slight misstep by the DOJ Crown set in motion a chilling chain of events that would bring a known contract assassin into our once serene narrative. The underworld responded with fury as Garry chipped away at the icy facade of organized crime.This daunting chapter would not only reshape Garry's identity as a lawman but galvanize him to challenge the very system that fostered criminal growth in Canada. His narrative is not just a tale of police work; it paints a larger canvas detailing the sinister web spun by the Chinese Triad crime syndicates. Their empire, built on drug trafficking, used its vast wealth for pervasive influence, elite subjugation, and systemic bribery. Disturbingly, this clandestine operation wasn't unknown to the nation's helm - the Prime Minister and other luminaries. Their silence often masked as ignorance, echoed the tragedies endured by countless virtuous souls within RCMP and CSIS. Despite the oppressive shadows cast upon him, Garry emerged, taking on a pivotal role as the National Director of the Proceeds of Crime Division, RCMP.His tenacity and grit, ironically, were the very traits that deterred him from ascending to the highest echelons of the Force. This paradox epitomizes the structural and moral decay that plagued the RCMP—a descent further exemplified by the explosive revelations of the Phantom Secure operation, spotlighting the treachery of CCP spy Cameron Ortis.Garry's moving memoir uncovers the veiled transgressions of the past, charting the RCMP's metamorphosis into a fractured entity. The nation's image as a refuge for international crime magnates and the tragic fentanyl epidemic both owe their roots to the very warnings sounded by Garry and Brian McAdam, which were covered in Michel Juneau-Katsuya's Sidewinder report.was originally panned and then destroyed by management within CSIS, who were more interested in their careers than upsetting their political Masters from high up. That report was from a bygone era and its findings sidelined until recently. With both Under Cover and The Mosaic Effect, Canadians now have a better understanding of the damage done by ambitious politicians and power-hungry corporations.Today, Garry remains on the front lines, safeguarding financial terrains as Chief Compliance Officer for VersaBank. Drawing from his vast reservoir of expertise, he tirelessly implores the government to awaken to Canada's escalating crime vortex, advocating for a safer legacy for our progeny."

What if one of Canada’s quietest provinces had become a staging ground for a foreign power?What if the red cliffs and tranquil shores of Prince Edward Island masked something more troubling—something that reached from Charlottetown to Beijing?Canada Under Siege is an investigation into how the Chinese Communist Party may have quietly infiltrated Canada’s smallest province. At the heart of this inquiry is a fundamental question:How did a place known for simplicity and serenity become a strategic beachhead for elite capture, covert influence, and international subversion?Through a series of disturbing leads, veteran investigators Michel Juneau-Katsuya (CSIS) and Garry Clement (RCMP) follow the money, land deals, and political alignments that suggest Prince Edward Island may have become something more than a rural outpost—it may be a case study in how foreign influence embeds itself deep within democratic systems.Their investigation begins with Frank Zhou and Sherry Huang, Chinese Canadian entrepreneurs whose presence on PEI extends far beyond tourism brochures. What role did they play in influencing political leaders, including former premiers Robert Ghiz and Wade MacLauchlan? Did the Provincial Nominee Program—intended to promote immigration—become a tool for geopolitical leverage? Was Anne of China Inc. just a cultural venture, or a Trojan horse for soft power messaging disguised as economic partnership?The book asks: Why did so few challenge this convergence of political power and foreign capital? Why were public servants who raised concerns sidelined, silenced, or removed? Why did nobody act?Then there is the mystery of the Bliss and Wisdom Buddhist group, led by Zhen-Ru (Mary Jin). Promising to build a “Thousand Year Monastery” on the island, this Taiwan-based monastic group has acquired vast tracts of land through monastics and affiliated donors. Is this a closed religious community simply seeking peace—or something else entirely? Could its links to the Buddhist Association of China suggest a deeper form of ideological control under religious guise?Multiple sources, including the elusive Venerable Fan Yin, who quietly departed in 2017, hint at internal power struggles and shifting allegiances. But why has no one investigated who funds this expansion? Why is there so little public scrutiny?Across interviews with whistleblowers, activists, and security insiders, Canada Under Siege uncovers unanswered questions and disturbing patterns—from aborted RCMP probes to quiet land transfers, from surveillance of diaspora communities to stalled legislation like Bill C-70.Why did CSIS warnings go ignored?Why is there still no foreign agent registry in Canada?What happens when political convenience outweighs national security?The final chapters take the reader across the Pacific to Taipei, where one investigator pursues a final lead—one that may reshape how we understand influence, identity, and the global battle over Tibetan Buddhism and the succession of the Dalai Lama.This is not a book of questions but that of conclusions.Most importantly it is a dossier of questions—serious ones—about the fragility of democratic institutions, the nature of infiltration, and how a tiny province may have quietly become the front line of a much larger conflict. The people and politicians who embraced both Chinese investment and monastic virtue may find that the made a faustian bargain that will impact the island for generations.
