Glen Shortliffe
Another Water War Crimes Insider Dies From
Sudden Heart Attack - May 4, 2010
There must be something in the water !
Glen Shortliffe, another retired senior Canadian civil servant connected to the Water War Crimes "died unexpectedly of a heart attack at his home just a few blocks from the prime ministers residence" according to Canada's national propaganda outlet the Globe and Mail, page 13 May 22, 2010.
This death marked the 12th sudden death of a Water War Crimes insider since January 2006 when Justice James Taylor from an unexpected heart attack. Visit Nine Dead Judges Don't Lie at the Water War Crimes Web Site for particulars of the death of James Taylor.
Mr. Shortliffe was the Clerk Of The Privy Council, which is the Senior Civil Servant of Canada, from 1992 to 1994 which means that he would have approved the appointment of Water War Crimes insider Robert Edwards from position of Deputy Attorney General of British Columbia to a position of justice of the Supreme Court of British Columbia in February, 1993. Mr. Shortcliffe was close to the Kim Campbell gang that were involved in the Water War Crimes.
From 1988 to 1992, Mr. Shortliffe was Deputy Minister of Transport in charge of Canadian National Railways, in this position, he would probably have played a role in the appointment of British Columbia Attorney General, Brian Smith, to position of Chairman of Canadian National Railways in November, 1989, a few months after the Ministry of the Attorney General for British Columbia finally put in place the secret and illegal contract between the Government of British Columbia and W.C.W. Western Canada Water Enterprises Ltd. on September 25, 1989. The insider trade of 4.2 million shares and warrants in WCW took place four days later on September 29, 1989 and about 50% of those shares and warrants went to offshore accounts benefiting undisclosed insiders that the RCMP refused to investigate.
Due to his position as Deputy Minister of Transport it is probable that Glen Shortliffe was involved in the Airbus Affair where Canadian politicians and bureaucrats are alleged to have anticipated in a scheme of bribery and corruption when Canada's national air carrier, Air Canada, decided to purchase its new aircraft from the European provider, Airbus, instead of a traditional American supplier.
British Columbia lawyer, Jack Ebbels, who worked on the secret agreement, died of a sudden heart attack on February 25, 2010, a few weeks after his role was published here on this blog and at the Water War Crimes Web Site and former Deputy Attorney General Robert Edwards, died of a sudden heart attack on November 5, 2007, when his role in the Water War Crimes was exposed in court papers filed in October 2007, and British Columbia cabinet Minister Stan Hagen , a witness to many of the events due to his position as a member of Bill Vander Zalm and Gordon Campbell's cabinet, died of a sudden heart attack in January, 2009, when things began to heat up around Victoria.
Brain Smith, the former Attorney General of British Columbia, who is now a lawyer in Toronto should be very, very, careful.
It is also noteworthy that former Deputy Minister of Justice and Deputy Attorney General for Canada, John Sims was legal counsel with the Ministry of Transport prior to his becoming Deputy Minister of Justice (1988 to 1992) where he worked closely with the Attorney General for British Columbia, Brain Smith, who was given the position of Chairman of Canadian National Railways, in 1989, an appointment that would have been approved by the Deputy Minister of Transport. John Sims knows some secrets and he should also be very very careful.
Admittedly, Mr. Shortliffe was already ill from cancer, but the sudden, unexpected, death by heart attack suggests he may have been executed in order to silence him.
So far at least 27 witnesses to the Water War Crimes have dropped dead of suddenly developed terminal illnesses and died as the case has moved forward.

The Ottawa Citizen reports
"He was known as the ultimate problem-solver, the man you would turn to when all else has failed".
"Shortliffe is remembered as a great patriot and one of the best problem-solvers the public service has ever seen".
Former prime minister Brian Mulroney led the tributes, calling Shortliffe, whom he appointed clerk in 1992, an exceptional public servant with qualities few can match. Mulroney said he always admired Shortliffe's "frank" advice.
"What attracted me to him was that he had a brilliant mind that was exceptionally creative in finding solutions to complex problems. Glen became clerk at a very difficult and challenging time, but he performed in an exceptional manner," Mulroney said. "He had a remarkable career and made a genuinely impressive contribution to Canada. I thought he was the incarnation of a superb public servant."
Brian Mulroney, is generally regarded as less than honest among many discerning Canadians.
Derek Burney, Mulroney's former chief of staff, also remembered a remarkable colleague and friend.
Burney said. "If you had a problem that needed to be resolved, you turned to Glen. He was the man you went to when you had a problem that nobody seemed to have a solution to."
Shortliffe was a controversial figure who ruffled many feathers. He earned the nickname "the enforcer" for his role in taking on controversial subjects such as slashing the bureaucracy or reading the riot act to straying senior bureaucrats.
Shortliffe served in high-profile jobs, including stints at the Canadian International Development Agency, the Privy Council and Transport Canada, where he became deputy minister, and handled the privatization of Toronto's Pearson Airport.
In 1992, Mulroney elevated him to clerk of the Privy Council, where he remained until 1994, when he retired after serving two other prime ministers -- Kim Campbell and Jean Chrétien.
Mr. Shortcliffe got into some trouble in his later life due to "conflict-of-interest allegations in 2004 when his firm was paid about $295,000 in consulting fees by Hydro Ottawa while he was chair of the utility's board".

How Did Brian Smith, an Attorney General, Become Chairman of Canadian National Railways?
In October 1989, Brian Smith, shown far right in photographs below, announced he was leaving his position as Attorney General of British Columbia to take a position as Chairman of Canadian National Railways.
At the Water War Crimes web site we believe this appointment was a political reward to Mr. Smith because, as Attorney General of British Columbia, he agreed to use his position of trust and authority to deliver an illegal contract to W.C. W. Western Canada Water Enterprises Ltd. A copy of the contract has been filed in Canada's Federal Court in Action T-95-08. Rewards of this nature are contrary to section 125 (a) of the Criminal Code of Canada.
The three persons who would have been involved in this appointement of this nature are the Prime Minister, Brian Mulroney, the Clerk of the Privy Council, Paul Tellier, and the Deputy Minister of Transport, Glenn Shortliffe. We could have included the Minister of Transport, Benoit Bouchard, in our accusationbut in Canada the Deputy Ministers run the Department, subject to the Privy Council and the Prime Minister's Office.
Of course, everyone is innocent until proven guilty, so you can be the judge of whether or not Glenn Shortcliffe, Brian Mulroney, Paul Tellier or Brian Smith broke section 125 (a) of the Criminal Code of Canada.
