The Number 1 best seller is updatedThis newly updated book features 2 new Chapters of content and insights infiltration of China, Russia and Iranian agents to undermine the very democracy we hold dear. Politicians and business elites including former Ambassadors to Canada, who may unwittingly have helped the criminal enterprises get a secure hold in the West.Soon after Wilful Blindness was published, I learned the book was having an impact in Beijing. I was contacted by Canadian intelligence and informed that Chinese espionage assets in Canada had been tasked with collecting information on me. Beijing wanted to know how the public was reacting to my book, and whether it could damage the Chinese Communist Party.It was shocking to hear this, but I wasn’t surprised that the United Front Work Department’s thin-skinned apparatchiks felt threatened by my granular reporting on their operations in Vancouver. I had named names and cited documents.I had even developed sources within local Chinese espionage networks. And I had drawn links between senior CCP official Bin Zhang, Markham underground casino suspect Wei Wei, and a Chinese front company that donated hundreds of thousands of dollars to Prime Minister Justin Trudeau’s family foundation. It can’t be overstated how significant this reporting was. I showed how this espionage operation extended to elite criminal suspects and their United Front comrades in Vancouver, including the flag-waving leaders of rallies against Hong Kong Canadians. This in turn was all connected to Triad suspects with deep ties to illegal casinos, violent loan-sharking networks,Chinese police forces and military, and the Vancouver Model of money laundering and economic infiltration. And I continued to dig. After my book came out, I learned that the keyfundraiser and Chinese community organizer for Justin Trudeau in Toronto was flagged in Fintrac suspicious transaction reports. The documents said this Markham man had, in just a few months, routed millions of dollars of wire transfers from Hong Kong for Chinese corruption suspects accused of big-time real estate money laundering in Canada. He was also tight with a top-tier CSIS..... Cooper has exposed the close ties between Chinese nationals who are dedicated to Beijing and have bought influence with all political parties in Canada. It's about time that former PM's cut their lucrative arrangements with the PRC and Cooper makes a compelling case as to how money through these networks has undermined our political process and policy engagement with the Peoples's Republic of China.Sam’s vigorous journalism on tracking and exposing money laundering has been crucial in the national push to reform and update Canada’s laws. This book pulls his work, and indeed the work of many professionals, into one explosive narrative. Canadian lore often pitches our country as a well-meaning good partner in the world. But as Sam’s report has shown, we are a node in global systems of corruption and crime, with the infiltration and implications only becoming worse over time. James Cohen, President of Transparency International Canada"A Gripping read that you won't want to put down" Benedict Rogers, Hong Kong Watch"This is a must-read book for concerned citizens who want to keep their democratic societies free"Solomon Yue, Vice-Chair and CEO, Republicans Overseas In 1982 three of the most powerful men in Asia met in Hong Kong. They would decide how Hong Kong would be handed over to the People's Republic of China and how Chinese business tycoons Henry Fok and Li Ka-Shing would help Deng Xiaoping realize the Chinese Communist Party's domestic and global ambitions. That meeting would not only change Vancouver but the world. Billions of dollars in Chinese investment would soon reach the shores of North America's Pacific coast. B.C. government casinos became a tool for global criminals to import deadly narcotics into Canada and launder billions of drug cash into Vancouver real estate. And it didn't happen by accident.A cast of accomplices - governments hungry for revenue, casino and real estate companies with ties to shady offshore wealth, professional facilitators including lawyers and bankers, an aimless RCMP that gave organized crime room to grow - all combined to cause this tragedy. There was greed, folly, corruption, conspiracy, and wilful blindness.Decades of bad policy allowed drug cartels, first and foremost the Big Circle Boys - powerful transnational narco-kingpins with ties to corrupt Chinese officials, real estate tycoons, and industrialists - to gain influence over significant portions of Canada's economy. Many looked the other way while B.C.'s primary industry, real estate, ballooned with dirty cash. But the unintended social consequences are now clear: a fentanyl overdose crisis raging in major cities throughout North America and life spans falling for the first time in modern Canada, and a runaway housing market that has devastated middle-class income earners.This story isn't just about real estate and fentanyl overdoses, though. Sam Cooper has uncovered evidence that shows the primary actors in so-called "Vancouver Model" money laundering have effectively made Canada's west coast a headquarters for corporate and industrial espionage by the CCP. And these ruthless entrepreneurs have used Vancouver and Canada to export their criminal model to other countries around the world including Australia and New Zealand. Meanwhile, Cooper finds that the RCMP's 2019 arrest of its top intelligence official, Cameron Ortis, raises many frightening questions. Could Chinese transnational criminals and state actors targeting Canada's industrial and technological crown jewels have gained protection from the Mounties?Could China and Iran have insight into Canada's deepest national security secrets and influence on investigations? According to the evidence Cooper has found, Ortis had oversight of many investigations into transnational money laundering networks and insight into sensitive probes of suspects seeking to undermine Canada's democracy and infiltrate the United States.Wilful Blindness is a powerful narrative that follows the investigators who refused to go along with institutionalized negligence and corruption that enabled the Vancouver Model, with Cooper drawing on extensive interviews with the whistle-blowers; thousands of pages of government and court documents obtained through legal applications; and large caches of confidential material available exclusively to Cooper.The book culminates with a shocking revelation showing how deeply Canada has been compromised and what needs to happen to get the nation back on track with its "Five Eyes" allies."I'm astonished that some Hollywood production company hasn't already signed him for a big-screen treatment of this story. It's a huge story." - Terry Glavin, National Post

"The Mosaic Effect is probably the most thoroughly researched, accurate, and vastly important book that every Canadian should read. The Chinese playbook is credibly documented with support from authoritative sources. I would make this book mandatory reading in every intelligence agency in the Five Eyes, NATO, and the free world."Dr. Gregory Carpenter, Former National Security Agency Official and co-author of Reverse Deception: Organized Cyber Threat Counter-ExploitationWe live in two parallel worlds—one that exists in plain sight, governed by laws and borders, where the illusion of security prevails. The other, concealed in shadows, is the battleground of a silent war masterminded by the relentless Chinese Communist Party (CCP). Their audacious objective? To dismantle their primary adversary, the "United States of America," and assert global dominance by 2050. But the CCP's ambition extends far beyond America's borders; it's a global conquest where traditional warfare takes a back seat, replaced by covert operations masked beneath layers of legitimate organizations and respected figures.In this clandestine conflict, no shots are fired, and the chosen weapons are social chaos and economic manipulation. The vanguard of the CCP's covert assault is an enigmatic trio, known discreetly as the Trinity, acknowledged by the USA's intelligence elite—the CIA, DIA, DEA, and State Department. The Trinity represents an unholy alliance between PRC intelligence agencies, the influential Chinese business elite, and the notorious triads.This strategic infiltration began over three decades ago, gaining entry into the United States through its northern neighbour, Canada, exploiting immigration fraud as its gateway. The 49th parallel, which divides the USA and Canada—the world's longest undefended border—became the backdrop for the CCP's sinister machinations. The CCP methodically constructed a United Front network in Canada, subduing or directing individuals and groups to serve their agenda. This subversion has steadily corroded the political foundations of Canada, sounding alarm bells among undercover American intelligence agents who now view Canada as one of the United States' foremost security concerns.Meet Scott McGregor and Ina Mitchell, guardians of some of Canada's national secrets. McGregor who has worked in military intelligence, law enforcement and for the current Premier of British Columbia, advising on the convergences between transnational organized crime and national security threats; Mitchell an investigative journalist and documentary filmmaker, pull take readers on a journey like no others have ever dared to do. in their forthcoming book, "The Mosaic Effect," McGregor and Mitchell embark on an enthralling odyssey, providing unparalleled insights into the CCP's far-reaching influence and espionage in the Western world.The authors assembled a formidable team of intelligence collectors, including seasoned journalists, former agents, law enforcement experts, dedicated researchers, and incognito informants within the Chinese diaspora. With precision and dedication, they employ a fusion of modern investigative techniques and age-old tradecraft. Together, they assemble a captivating mosaic of intelligence, piecing together the intricate web of CCP influence that reaches into the highest echelons of global power."The Mosaic Effect" isn't just an exposé but an urgent cautionary tale. It invites you to peer into the covert realm manipulated by the CCP within the Western sphere. This isn't merely a story—it's a high-stakes narrative of intrigue and espionage that offers an intimate look into a dimension of global affairs concealed from public gaze. Welcome to a world of international espionage, intrigue, and the relentless pursuit of democratic values, all woven into a narrative that demands the attention of discerning readers immersed in global politics and the preservation of democracy.For those who are well-versed in global politics, espionage aficionados, and public policy writers, "The Mosaic Effect" is your exclusive passageway into this clandestine world—a must-read that grants you access to the intricacies of international power struggles and the relentless quest for freedom and democracy
