Canada Project
Goal: To establish political power within the country and to eventually monopolize the natural
resources, specifically petroleum and coal.
Timeline of Events
1. Suncor Energy and Teck Resources $60 Billion and $20 Billion, Total: $80 Billion
a. Canada’s largest oil company and one of the major mining companies,
respectively.
b. Acquiring these two companies would ensure that we own a large share of the
resource market
c. Suncor Energy is worth $51 Billion and Teck Resources is worth $14.19
billion, we intend to buy out both companies.
2. The Prime Minister Candidate- (10/10) $50 million for campaign, $50 million pay-off
to candidate, Total: $100 mil
a. All Canadian prime ministers are also members of parliament, and the Prime
Minister of Canada sits and votes in the House of Commons just like the other
members. As leader of parliament’s largest political party, however, he/she
maintains tight control over all members of his/her parliamentary caucus (party
members) and directs and oversees the entire parliamentary process, including
deciding which bills are introduced and which laws are passed.
b. Our groomed candidate will run in the 2023 election, as the next election
(October 2019) is too soon for our plans
c. Our candidate will run for the Conservative Party of Canada because we
believe the people voting within this party believe in traditional culture and values
and will be the easiest swayed by our propaganda. We also believe these voters
will give the most support to big business, such as Suncor Energy or Teck
Resources.
2. Senate Candidates (8/10) $15mil per candidate, Total: $795 million
a. Once our Prime Minister candidate is elected, he will appoint members of the
Senate. We will have him select 53 people (more than half of Senate).
b. The purpose of a senator is to consider and revise legislation, investigate national
issues, and provide the regions of Canada an equal voice in Parliament. With this
in mind, these Candidates will be paid a good amount of money to insure
legislation is revised in our favor, any potential investigations of what we are
doing are dismissed, and that the ‘equal voice in Parliament’ is equal as long
as it is in our favor.
3. House of Commons (7/10)$7mil per member, $3mil bonus if elected, Total: $700 mil-
$1 billion
a. The House of Commons is the elected assembly of the Parliament of Canada. Its
301 Members are elected by popular vote at least once every five years to sit in
the House of Commons.
b. Much like our Prime Minister candidate, we will have 100 House of Commons
members voted in from both the Liberal and the Conservative parties.
c. The prime minister and his Cabinet receive their authority through the confidence
of the House, so we want a good amount of members in the House of Commons
to be in our favor.
4. Supreme Court (10/10) $75 million, $15 mil bonus for every law passed/over-turned
in our favor. Total: $75-$150 mil
a. The Supreme Court of Canada is Canada’s final court of appeal. It serves
Canadians by deciding legal issues of public importance, thereby contributing to
the development of all branches of law applicable within Canada
b. Judges are appointed by the Governor General of Canada on advice of the Prime
Minister. Our Prime Minister candidate would appoint a Supreme Court
Judge, a judge who would be paid by us and working with us.
c. Supreme Court Judges serve Canadians by deciding legal issues of public
importance, thereby contributing to the development of all branches of law
applicable within Canada. That being said, with a judge on the court in our
favor, we will be able to do what we want, whether legal or not, because the
judge will be in our corner.
Plan Conclusion:
● The ultimate purpose of acquiring the companies and coming into power is so that we can
basically do as we please with them. Any rules we break or unethical methods we use in
the businesses will now be overlooked, as we have the power within Canada. This will
allow us to get things like tax breaks, laws passed that will benefit us and in general,
make it easier for us to continue to make money. Once we have established power we can
look to continue to take over other natural resource companies within Canada in order to
create a monopoly.
Risks:
● Our candidate doesn’t get elected-- we can’t get the people behind our candidate
● One of the people we are paying to do our bidding speaks out against us
● Another country intervenes, specifically Russia or the United States
● The media doesn’t accept our bribe, then report on it.
● Other energy/mining companies are angered by us or catch on to what we are trying to do
● Being sued
● Having to pay off more people/having to pay out more
Questions:
● What can we spend the remaining money on?
● Is our budget practical?
● Is our manipulation and ‘fear factor’ enough to get the candidates we want elected?
● Will we be able to bribe all that are needing to be bribed?
● Are Canadians anti-Russian enough for our whole campaign to be based around this?
● Would we be able to outright buy two big energy companies?
● Is there a better/easier way to take over the companies?
● Once we are in power is there anybody who could overthrow us?
● Would we need an alliance with another country?
● Would it be smart to live in Canada while doing this or should we live elsewhere?
● Is it a good idea to bribe the media?
○ What would be a better way to control the media instead?
○ How do countries such as Russia, control the media?
