Hellyer - Former Deputy Prime Minister and Minister of Defence, is the driving force behind Canadian Bank Reformers, and for the last two decades he has been writing books, giving speeches, and travelling across the country in service of the cause of monetary reform. This is a central focus of many of his writings, including his most recent volume (published in 2014) The Money Mafia: A World in Crisis. Hellyer's concerns focus on two, relatively little known and seemingly wonkish matters, which are in reality critically important aspects of monetary policy that play a central role in shaping our economic landscape. These monetary issues contribute to the rapidly escalating economic inequality that we have witnessed throughout much of the world over the past half-century, and which has been documented in meticulous detail by economists such as Thomas Piketty (See: Thomas Piketty: Economics transfigured).
Hellyer ran for the leadership of the PC party in 1976 but alienated many Tories with what were perceived as too right-wing views (including an attack on "Red Tories") and lost his bid to Joe Clark. In 1982 he rejoined the Liberal party before forming the Canadian Action Party (CAP) in 1997, an economic nationalist party that rejected globalization and embraced monetary reform. Neither Hellyer nor any other subsequent leader or member was ever able to win a seat under this banner. Between 2000 and 2004 Hellyer attempted to negotiate a merger between CAP and the New Democratic Party, an initiative that failed to bear political fruit. There are few politicians whose political peregrinations have spanned such a wide gamut of far-right to far-left concerns as have Hellyer's.
December 15th 2016 | Full presentation and Q&A at OISE Auditorium, Toronto, Canada "The Bank of Canada – A Ray of Hope?" the Honourable Paul Hellyer lecture on the CETA constitutional challenge, how using the Bank of Canada can launch a new era of prosperity, why the U.S. voted against globalization and why Canada has nothing to fear from U.S. protectionism. 'They broke it, you can help fix it'
Canadian Bank Reformers: http://www.canadianbankreformers.ca/ NOTE: THE HONOURABLE PAUL HELLYER (Former minister of national defense, and acting prime minister) lecture explains how the Canadian prosperity train came off the rails, and exactly how to put it back on again.
Stop the Press! - Our government wants to ratify CETA. That will be the kiss of death for any worthwhile banking reform that would make Canada prosperous again, and prevent us from using the Bank of Canada creatively as we did from 1939 to 1974 with such amazing success. (CETA is both illegal and immoral because it unilaterally transfers power from parliament to international bankers and transnational corporations, and reverses a thousand years of progress in establishing government of by and for the people since the Magna Carta was signed).
** Paul Hellyer is the longest serving current member of the Privy Council of Canada, just ahead of Prince Philip **
