THE VIETNAM WAR - CANADA'S "SHADOW WAR"

The CBC "Doc Zone" have an upcoming documentary variously titled "Canada's Shadow War", "The 40th Anniversary of the Fall Of Saigon" and or "Canada's Secret War - Vietnam". This documentary will be shown on the "Doc Zone" program on Thursday March 26, 2015 at 9 pm. It is on the CBC channel #5.

Yours truly was honoured to have been picked by the filmakers to be interviewed and to assist in whatever way possible both prior to and during the filming in Elmira last year. Apparently there are both literary and biblical references to individuals who are treated shabbily at home while appropriately honoured by those at a distance. It is indeed strange to me how good my reputation is outside of Elmira. Apparently decades of local liars, professional and amateur, have done their best work behind the scenes, whispering.

I was chosen after a brief interview to determine my technical competence as well as my historical knowledge. These attributes unfortunately are not in demand by the numerous guilty parties here in Woolwich Township and especially in Elmira. Those guilty parties include all Woolwich Councils from 1989 to the present with one notable exception and that was the 2010-2014 Council. That Council despite the flameout of their Mayor supported the citizen volunteers on the Chemtura Public Advisory Committee (CPAC) rather than supporting Chemtura Canada (formerly Uniroyal Chemical).

There is a promotional video on-line for this upcoming documentary. I googled last night "CBC Doc Zone Canada's Shadow War". I then picked the one listing mentioning a PROMO. Sure enough there is a 1 1/2 minute promotional video showing interesting parts of the upcoming documentary. Yours truly is seen and heard discussing Uniroyal Chemical, Elmira, Agent Orange that was produced here and its' accompanying birth defects. Therefore as I'm in the promotional video on-line as well as recently already on television promoting this documentary; I am curious as to how much of my interview and later filming will be involved.

From the promotional video there will also be information regarding the Canadian - U.S. political situation at the time including draft dodgers given sanctuary here. Whether other Canadian corporate, financial benefactors of the Vietnam War will also be included I do not know.
