Liberal Technocrats: Keeping it in the Family
In examining the structure of the oligarchy’s team of technocrats that emerged into power with Justin Trudeau’s appearance as an official political figure in 2013, one is struck by the fact that a large contingent is second and third generation technocratic managers of Canada’s deep state.
These are the children and grandchildren of the first generation of “professional technocrats” who exploded onto the scene of history as agents of both Walter Gordon, Vincent Massey and Pierre Elliot Trudeau. Several striking examples are listed below.
Thomas Pitfield.
Justin’s boyhood friend who co-founded Canada 2020, and whose Privy Council father Michael Pitfield was both the right hand man of both Pierre Trudeau and Paul Desmarais Sr. Michael Pitfield got his start working as the assistant to Rhodes Scholar Davie Fulton, and went on to become Clerk of the Privy Council Office as key member of Pierre Trudeau’s powerful cabal. After forming CSIS in 1984, Pitfield went on to become Vice-President of Power Corporation. It was through these positions that Michael acquired a job for his son first on the Powercorp sponsored Canada-Chinese Business Council.
Dominic Leblanc.
Leblanc is himself a Privy Councillor and also the son of Pierre Trudeau’s Cabinet Minister and later Governor General of Canada (1995-1999) Romeo Leblanc. Since 2015, Leblanc has played a number of roles in various cabinet positions ranging from minister of fisheries, minister of intergovernmental trade, northern affairs and international trade, minister of intergovernmental affairs, infrastructure and communities and Minister of Public Safety, Democratic Institutions and Intergovernmental Affairs. From 2018-2021, he was president of the Queen’s Privy Council for Canada.
General Andrew Leslie.
Leslie is the grandson of the anglophile General Andrew McNaughton who is renowned for his cold blooded policy of sending young Canadian men into inhumane work camps in the 1930s and treating young soldiers abroad like cannon fodder, sending thousands needlessly to their deaths in — in order to prolong the war for his British masters [1]. McNaughton also who worked with Ottawa Rhodes Scholars while serving as head of the IJC in thwarting W.A.C. Bennet’s vision and NAWAPA). McNaughton’s grandson served as Justin’s pro-R2P/world government military advisor, and from 2015-2017 acted as chief government whip.
Raymond Chretien.
The nephew of former Prime Minister Jean Chretien (Cabinet minister under both Pearson and Trudeau), Raymond is a former Canadian Ambassador to the United States, a director of the Canadian International Council under Bill Graham, and a member of the U.S.-based Trilateral Commission of David Rockefeller. Other prominent Canadians affiliated with Canada 2020 and CIC who serve on the Trilateral Commission include Bill Graham, John Manley, Andre Desmarais (2nd generation Canadian oligarch and President of Power Corporation), Allan Gotlieb, Larry Summers and journalist Jeffrey Simpson. Since 2004, he was a board member of the Pierre Trudeau Foundation, and Chairman of the board of the Centre for International Studies of the Université de Montréal (CÉRIUM).
Stephen Bronfman.
Bronfman is the grandson of Samuel Bronfman and son of Privy Councillor Charles Bronfman. Charles Bronfman’s money was instrumental in founding Canada 2020 in his function as founder of the Dominion-Historica Institute, then run by Thomas Axworthy. Stephen who was given the reins to his father’s large holding company Claridge Inc. dealing in food, media and real estate is a driving force behind Justin Trudeau’s commitment to legalize non-medical marijuana. He is also a director of the David Suzuki Foundation. Since Justin’s entry into the position of Prime Minister in 2015, Stephen has been the Chief Revenue Officer of the Liberal Party of Canada and a senior advisor to Prime Minister, Justin Trudeau.
Gerald Butts.
Another founding member of Canada 2020 is Trudau’s McGill university debate partner Gerald Butts, who had been granted the reins of Prince Philip’s genocidal World Wildlife Fund of Canada in 2008. Butts is a 2007 Bilderberg Group participant who is firmly committed to global depopulation. From 2015-2019 he was Principal Secretary to the Prime Minister of Canada. While he was forced to resign in the wake of the SNC Lavalin scandal of 2019, he remained active in the Malthusian deep state becoming chairman of the World Wildlife Fund for Nature’s Eurasia Group. According to his WWF biography: “Butts leads New Climate Group, a private consultancy that advises global financial firms, educational institutions, and philanthropists on strategic investments in climate mitigation and resilience and artificial intelligence.”
