Ssixty-three year old seed grower who
was a leader of the 1995 native

Canadians more than that of Allan G.

Kamloops detachment.

BACKGROUND
Greg Krawchuk, the current Manitoba
President of the Canada Party contacted Glen
Kealey following a meeting sponsored by the
Canadian Institute for Political Integrity on
behalf of the Assembly of Independent
Canadians, in Winnipeg, Manitoba.
Mr. Krawchuk asked Kealey to run as
Leader of the CANADA PARTY at the next
convention to be held in Ottawa, in late July
1996.
Kealey suggested that if other members of
the Board of the CANADA PARTY agreed
with Krawchuk he should request that they
write to Kealey, on CANADA PARTY
letterhead and formalize their position.

appears on the right was received by Glen

Because of its relevancy to
the Kealey Paper's article on

of Glen Kealey — we have
reprinted most of Joyce
Nelson’s article "DT.
Rockefeller will see you
now” which appeared last
year, in the January-
February 1995. .-issue- of
‘Canadian Forum” magazine.
Within days of federal Finance
Minister Paul Martin’s mid-October
announcement that $9.4 billion will
have to be raised over the next two
- years, through either higher taxes or
; spending cuts, in order to meet his
deficit-reduction target date, the C.D.
Howe Institute urged Martin to cul
federal spending even deeper and
faster. The private think-tank called
for $14.8 billion in cuts over the next
two years by virtually eliminating all
federal spending on health care, while
cutting drastically into spending on
unemployment insurance, post-
secondary ¢ducation, welfare and old-
age security payments.
Ihe need for such radical
surgery was quickly endorsed by much
of the mainstream media, which called
the Institute’s diagnosis “realistic” and
“fine”, What the media neglected,
however, to add was that since 1976
the C.D. Howe Institute has been
closely connected to David
Rockefeller’s Trilateral Commission,
whose 300-plus members (primarily
presidents and CEO’s of global
corporations, bankers, politicians and
a few academics) comprise the most
powerful and elite organization for
world planning known to exist.

their fight with provinces and interest
froups over changing social programs.

of Executive Consultants Ltd... an
Ottawa lobbying firm owned by the
world’s biggest PR firm, New York-
based giant Burson-Marsteller—whose
Canadian chairman, Allan &. Gotlieb, is
the North American Deputy Char of the
rilateral Commission.
Come to think of it, no one has
informed the public that, according to
the Canadian Institute for Political
Infegrity’s Ottawa founder Glen
Kealey—credited by author Stevie
Cameron for successfully bringing fraud
charges against former Cabinet minister
Roch LaSalle—Paul Martin was hand-
picked to be finance minister by Liberal
Party adviser Mitchell Sharp, who joined
the Trilateral Commission in 1977 and
was Deputy Chair of the Commission
during the 1980's.
Obviously, it’s high time for
another look at the Trilateral
Commission and Burson-Marsteller, who
are well-hidden but key players in the
Resources Minister Lloyd Axworthy’s effort to PRIVATIZE CANADA’S
federal green paper proposing HEALTH CARE SYSTEM, a system
comprehensive “reforms” to Canada’s _ that has been called “one of the largest
social safety net, a curious poll made unopened oysters in the Canadian
headlines across the country. The poll, economy.” Burson-Marsteller; (B-M),

Ottawa, Toronto and Vancouver, and
the Trilateral Commission (TC) are
intent on fully prying open that oyster,
which is potentially worth billions to the
private health care sector - especially the
private insurance industry.
U.S. consumer advocate Ralph
Nader warned Canadians in a December
1992 OTTAWA speech that the goal of
ihe giant health care industries in the
U.S. is “to subvert if not destroy both the
compulsory pricing system for drugs and
elements of the universal health

Lecording to Holly Sklar, who edited the
book Trilateralism, the TC in the 1990's
is “more powerful than ever”. One
oarticular factor in the TC’s current
ver is that ever since Allan Gotlieb
(Canada’s ambassador the U.S. from
iSSl to 193838) joined both the Trilateral
(ommussion and global giant Burson-
Viarsteller in 1989, B-M has increasingly
functioned as a PR/lobbying arm of the
iC itself. This corporate cooperation
was especially apparent in the powertul
duo’s orchestration of NAFTA’s passage
(see Dec..93 Canadian Forum).
\ccording to the most recent figures
available, B-M (which has 62 offices in
29 countries) was paid nearly $18 muillion
for getting NAFTA signed, sealed and
delivered.
The Chretien government —
which has broken election promises
regarding NAFTA, Clayoquot Sound
and the lobbying industry — appointed
Trilateralist Roy MacLaren, the Liberal
Party’s most vociferous advocate of
NAFTA, as International Trade
Minister. Since NAFTA has crucial
implications for Canadians’ health care
system, it’s not surprising that the same
corporate superpowers are heavily
engaged in the whole health-care issue in
Canada, as they have been for years in
the U.S.
The late 1980’s populist push in
the U.S. for a_ single-payer/universal
system modelled on Canada’s health care
system prompted the U.S. Congress to
appoint in 1988 a Bipartisan
Commission on Comprehensive Health
Care, whose mandate was to suggest
“reforms” to American health care. © ~~ ° continuedon page 10

At the time, 35 million U.S. citizens had
no health insurance coverage at all.
The Commission, chaired by TC
member John D. Rockefeller IV,
released its report in 1990 (after the
signing of the Canada-U.S. Free Trade
Agreement) and urged employment-
based private insurance coverage. As
Senator Rockefeller explained to the
business community: “Employer-
mandated coverage is the last resort we
have against the establishment of a
national health program that neither
you nor I want.”
was elected U.S. president im 1992, he
quickly appointed TC member Donna
E. Shalala as U.S. Secretary of Health
and Human Services, along with 13
other TC members to key cabinet and
administrative posts. Perhaps not
surprisingly, the President’s Health
Care Task Force, chaired by Mrs.
Clinton, rejected any approach not
based on private insurance — a $300
billion industry in the U.S. According
to U.S. health care activist Townsend
Walker, of the Alabama Health
Education & Action League, “The
Clinton Administration’s so-called
‘reforms’, based on ‘managed
competition’, were intended nght from
the first to benefit the big insurance
companies, many of which are directly
linked to the Rockefeller Group of
financial holdings, including
Metropolitan Life, Equitable Life and
New York Life.”
Metropolitan Life, whose
Canadian operations are based in
Ottawa and Toronto, has been a
Burson-Marsteller client for more than
a decade. In 1993, at the height of the
lobbying turbulence surrounding both
health care and NAFTA in the U.S.,
B.-M’s insurance clients included Met
Life, Equitable Life, Aetna and State
Farm. Both Met Life and State Farm
continue to be B-M clients.
Now that health care
legislation is dead in the water in the
U.S., the primary beneficiaries of all
the chaos and turmoil have been the
pharmaceutical giants (11 of whom are
current B-M clients) and “the Big
Five” private insurers: Met Life,

health care behemoths who own and
operate huge chains of HMOs (health
maintenance organizations) ready to
provide every service on the medical
spectrum, for a price.
While the number of U.S.
citizens without health insurance
coverage has risen to 39 million, HMO
membership is already 50 million. The
HMO insurers, paid to provide
coverage for companies’ employees,
don’t have to cover all ilinesses or all
people but can pick and choose those
likely to need the least medical care as
a cost-saving measure. As a writer for
the Nation has observed, “The same
insurance industry that brought us
‘redlining’ by disease and ‘cherry
picking’ of healthy people in order to
increase profits, is now to be
catapulted into the role of ‘CARING’
PROVIDER.”
Learning from the “Debate”
According to O’Dwyer’s PR
Services, a U.S. company that closely
tracks the activity of PR/Aobbying
firms, as well as the fees paid to them,
Burson-Marsteller played the leading
role in the U.S. health care “debate” —
the most lucrative PR and lobbying
bonanza in history O'Dwyer *s editor
Ac ven rice aulc say > (iat during: the
years 1992 and ‘{993, “BIW earned
$81.2 Million just on its health care
PR billings” — at least three times
more than its closest competitor, Hill &
Knowlton. “B-M is a big outfit and
they are by far the leaders tn health
care lobbying.” XXXXxXXXXXXXxX
B-M has its own specialized
unit called Burson-Marsteller
Healthcare, which McCauley says
provides clients with “consumer and
professional marketing; issues/crisis
management government relations;
constituency relations; media training;
media relations; media design; and
advertising”. On behalf of its
numerous and powerful clients —
which in 1993 included the Health
Leadership Council (comprising more
than 55 corporations with a stake in
the health care industry) — B-M was
central to blocking the populist push
for a health care system modelled on
Canada’s.
As any Canadian viewer of
U.S. TV will recall, much of the U.S.
“debate” involved the trashing of
Canada’s health care system with
scare-tactic stories about lengthy
waiting times for emergency care, the
inability of Canadians fo choose our
own doctors, the seeming
unavailability of medical procedures
like bone marrow transplants, and
even the “illegality” of o r
Canadian seniors. Michael Rachhis,
M.D., and Carol Kushner, Canadian
authors of the 1994 book Strong
Medicine say this tactic was meant
“to keep Americans confused about
public insurance” and note that “both
the American Medical Association and
the insurance industry have spent

Issue 4 *
On June 7, 1994, Fairness &
Accuracy in Reporting (FAIR) took
out a page in the New York Times to
inform the public that the point-
counterpoint duo appearing regularly
on National Public Radio’s “Morning
Edition” to debate the health care
issue were actually both paid lobbyists
for the same side: Tom Downey, a
lobbyist for Met Life, and Vin Weber,
paid by the Alliance for Managed
Competition, the “Big Five” insurers
group that includes Met Life. FAIR
suggested this was “just one more sign
that commercial health interests have
succeeded in subverting the biggest
public policy debate in the last 50
years.
Now a similar, if more subtle,
discrediting process is under way here,
with Canadians as the target. The first
steps are to undermine the public’s
confidence in the Canadian system,
especially through deficit-mania, and
to cause confusion. As Canadian
health care activist and film-maker
Laura Sky explains, “In the business

- has defended such private clinics and has
questioned in the House of Commons
whether or not the federal government,
having eroded transfer payments, still
has the authority to uphold the Canada
Health Act. During the election
campaign, the Reform Party was advised
by PR pros from both Burson-Marstelier
and Hill and Knowlton, the top PR firms
in the world, who between them
represent 103 private health care clients.
In 1992, the Ontario government,
faced with shrinking health care budgets
like the rest of the provinces, decreed that
q the province’s 223 publicly funded
hospitals must find ways to cut costs and
become more “efficient™ — pushing
hospitals to merge, make radical changes
in the way health care is delivered, or
close. In May of 1994, the Metro Toronto
District Health Council, a provincial
sovernment advisory body, appointed a
nine-member committee to decide the fate
of Metro Toronto’s 44 hospitals — the
largest hospital restructuring project in
the world. The Hospital Restructuring

12,000 job cuts at the Crown

Hydro was a Burson-Marsteller client
in 1993, Wilson must have worked
closely with B-M in the process now
widely acknowledged as a major step
towards privatization. Maurice
Strong, head of Ontario Hydro, joined
the Trilateral Commission in 1976.
From 1990 to 1992, Strong worked

Since the Forum’s mandate ts

happened during a similar process for

Action Committee for the Status of

that the Commission had contracted
two Burson-Marsteller professionals to
advise it on the biotechnology industry
and on which interest groups to

this: the private insurers and the banks
together have their eye on the lucrative
bonanza locked up in Canada’s public
health insurance system. As Colleen
Fuller reminds ous, Insurance
companies, who call themselves avid
free traders, have been active at all
trade tables (the FTA, NAFTA and
GATT), pushing hard for worldwide
liberalized trade in financial services’.”
While the press typically treats them as
competitors, the banks and the
insurance companies are quietly
cooperating to pry open that Canadian
health care “oyster”.
At the same time, the
insurance companies have been
lobbying, under the leadership of
parent company and B-M’s
international adviser.
Throughout Ney’s tenure as
U.S. Ambassador to Canada (1989-
1992), the press neglected to identify
Ney’s connection to Burson-Marsteller,
or, for that matter, the B-M connection
between Ney and Gotlieb. Such silence
was. of course, useful for the passage of
NAFTA. Since 1993, a similar press
silence has surrounded Ney’s
involvement in Power Financial Corps.
Kenneth Kidd’s article “Life
Preserver” for Report on Business
(Oct.’94) informs us that Canada 1s
“one of the most saturated insurance
markets on the planet” wath $1.3 trillion
in life insurance already owned by
Canadians. “Confed’s
collapse merely prefaces a massive
shakeout in an industry plague by too
many operators chasing too few
customers.”

Moreover, by November the CDIC
answer to the dilemma is obvious: a
two-pronged strategy that (a) decreases
