CBC & Allan Gregg & the WaterWarCrimes
Those who watch CBC will recognize Allan Gregg as a regular political commentator on the CBC National News hosted by Peter Mansbridge.
The CBC has carried many stories warning Canadians about the American thirst for Canadian fresh water and the so-called danger of bulk water exports.
Although fully informed of the insider corruption related to the WaterWarCrimes, the CBC has never carried a news story that tells Canadians the attempt by these political insiders to take control of their most plentiful resource.
The CBC did broadcast a film, H20, by director Paul Gross, that portrayed the Americans as villians in a plot to take over Canada's water resources but ignored the real and undisputable evidence that a group of Canadian political insiders were players in a real life plan to acquire a bulk water export monopoly that would enrich themselves at the expense of both American and Canadain taxpayers. Gross's film was fiction, paid for by the government of Canada, and must be viewed an artful piece of Canadian political insider mind contol propaganda.
The Canadian political fiction, H2O, http://www.cbc.ca/h2o/, by director Paul Gross appears to be based on the facts behind this case.
The documentary film "Captured Rain", http://www.telefilm.gc.ca/data/production/prod_444.asp?lang=en&cat=tv&g=doc&y=2001, was based on many of the facts in this case.

Who Is Allan Gregg and What Is His Role In Canadian Politics
Allan Gregg
The following information on Allan Gregg is taken from Wikipedia where there is no reference to Gregg and the several years he sat as a member of the Board of Directors of W.C.W. Western Canada Water Enterprises Ltd., the key Canadian corporate player in the WaterWarCrimes......
"Gregg has long been involved in Canadian politics, but decided to travel south of the border to work with master Republican Party pollster Richard Wirthlin and learned much from him. He then returned to Canada in the late 1970's. He first came to national attention as the national campaign secretary of the Progressive Conservative Party of Canada successful effort in the 1979 federal election.
Soon after that campaign, Gregg founded Decima Research, a joint polling/public relations firm. The company became the Conservative party's polling firm, and Gregg played an important role in the 1984 election when the PC Party was led by Brian Mulroney. With the Conservative victory, Decima Research and Gregg entered the halls of power, and he was frequently at Prime Minister Mulroney's side. Decima and Gregg worked for the federal Tories, operated in many provincial elections, and expanded worldwide, participating in over forty-five elections on three continents.
Gregg was an unusual-looking figure in Canadian politics, and especially in the Tory party. He adopted a unique style including gold earrings, bright red shoes, long hair, and a great deal of leather clothing. He founded a record label, The Song Corp., and was co-manager of the Tragically Hip band. He also served a five year stint as president of the Toronto International Film Festival.
He rose to greater prominence in the 1988 election where he handled communications and polling for the PC Party. Long an advocate for negative campaigning, he directed the famed "bridge bombing" attack on Liberal leader John Turner that was designed to break the bridge linking anti-free trade voters to Turner. The offensive was a success, Turner's popularity dropped, and the Tories were re-elected. He also played an important role in the 1992 Canadian referendum where he crafted the message that the doom of Canada would be the certain result of a "No" vote.
1993 election Gregg was given even more responsibility in the 1993 federal election campaign. He was senior pollster as well as top strategist and communications manager.
The 1993 Conservative Federal campaign was an unmitigated disaster for all concerned, including Gregg. Other campaign leaders complained that his many duties meant he missed too many meetings. Gregg again pushed for negative tactics, crafting an attack ad that the public saw as attacking Liberal leader Jean Chrétien's facial deformity. Though this ad backfired, the Conservatives were reduced to two seats in the Canadian House of Commons from their previous 151 seats as a result of many factors, particularly the intense unpopularity of former Conservative Prime Minister Brian Mulroney. This was the worst defeat ever suffered for a governing party at the federal level.
While the Tory campaign was not going well, the television ad (which aired on only one evening) was a memorable element. Modern Canadian national political campaign coverage has had few noteworthy campaign moments, but much like the 1984 Mulroney Turner debate ("You had an option"), this advertising mistake was memorable. Attacking a physical defect was widely seen by Canadians as a low blow and as an American-style no-holds-barred campaign style that should not be imported. Several years later Gregg wrote about this in the pages of Saturday Night magazine, where his mea culpa rang hollow, as he continued to argue that "the ad tested well in the focus groups."
After the campaign, Gregg left public life for a time. He quit Decima, and sold his share of the company for millions of dollars. He cut his hair, and turned to a more reserved form of dress.
After a year off, he founded a new company, The Strategic Counsel, a market research and consulting firm, but one geared towards business rather than politics. He returned to the public eye as a columnist in Maclean's Magazine and a frequent pundit on the Canadian Broadcasting Corporation news for several years.
Gregg also has a weekly television show, Allan Gregg in Conversation with... on the public broadcaster TVOntario. It has a half-hour, in-depth interview format, in which the subject of the interview is usually an author discussing a current release. The books discussed are usually of a political or medical nature.
In 2001, he strongly denounced negative campaigning in a lecture at the School of Journalism and Communication at Carleton University, saying that it would destroy politics as we know it and "invite totally unaccountable forces" to "influence society without the countervailing force of representative democracy".[1]
Personal life Gregg has three children; Christian (b. 1975), Allanah (b. 1986), and Connor (b. 1988).

Allan Gregg and His Linkages to Government
The reader will now understand that Allan Gregg was very close to the Canadian Federal Conservative Party under Prime Minister Brain Mulroney and his successor Kim Campbell and the Social Credit regime of Premier Bill Bennet in British Columbia.
Mr. Gregg was a director of W.C.W. Western Canada Water Enterprises Ltd. a company that was given a grant and/or loan by the Conservative Party under what was called the Western Canadian Development fund and an illegal benefit worth $383,000 per year by the Social Credit Government of Bill Vander Zalm when it was exempted from water act charges payable under the Water Act.
In some very interesting co-incidences it turns out that the Ministry of the Attorney General employed a lawyer named Douglas Eastwood who was hired to act on the litigation brought by Aqausource Ltd prior to Mr. William Pearce taking over conduct of the case. Mr. Eastwood admitted that his sister, Ellen Eastwood, worked for Allan Gregg at his firm in Toronto called Strategic Counsel.
And, when Peter Donolo, the media relations advisor to Jean Chretien, left Mr. Chretien's office in 1999, he found himself a job over at Strategic Counsel with Allan Gregg. Mr. Donolo has since become Chief of Staff to Michael Ignatieff, the leader of the official opposition party in Ottawa and Mr. Gerry Lenoksi and employee of W.C.W. Western Canada Water Enterprises Ltd. when Allan Gregg was a director of that company has recently worked for Mr. Ignaitieff in Ottawa also.
Mr. Lenoski has contributed greatly to the understanding of the stratgey of W.C.W. Western Canada Water Enterprises Ltd. by the deposing of a sworn affidavit filed in legal proceedings brought by Aquasrouce Ltd. in the Supreme Court of British Columbia

According to documents in its files, W.C.W. Western Canada Water Enterprises Ltd. hired Fred Doucet, the former Chief of Staff of Brian Mulroney to lobby Canada's Federal Government to impose a moratorium on the export of bulk water with an explicit exemption for existing contracts which, if passed, would have given WCW a monopoly over bulk water exports from Canada. The Federal Environment Minister of the day was Lucien Bouchard whose ministry appears to have taken the intiial steps to develop the legislation which was never brought into law. Mr. Doucet was represented by Ottawa lawyer Robert Houston at the Mulroney Schrieber inquiry. Although the Attorney General for British Columbia has a long time senior lawyer in its employ named Gordon Houston. We have been advised by Mr. Robert Houston that he is not related to Gordon Houston.
After its failure to obtain a bulk water export monopoly courtesy of the Federal Government, W.C.W. Western Canada Water Enterprises Ltd. turned its thoughts to Victoria and the willing accomplices inside the Government of British Columbia.
