Hot on the heels of the announcement earlier this month that the European Union will be launching it's own chapter of the CFR, a five-star audience of politicians, pundits and top drawer corporate executives will be mustering at a gala fundraiser for the new Canadian International Council, a foreign policy research think-tank that will be a forum for some of the country's best brains. The keynote speaker is due to receive the council's first "Globalist of the Year" reward.

It gets worse. I should have checked this before - Jim Balsillie is/was a member of the Trilateral Commission, one of the major American globalist thinktanks associated with the CFR. This a consolidation of Canadian globalist thinktanks - the Canadian Institute of International Affairs is going to be merged into this new body, alongside the UofT's Munk Institute, and the Waterloo-based Centre for International Governance Innovation, which Balsillie (who's bankrolling this new operation) founded in 2002.

And today, a press release hit the wires that Research in Motion is now Canada's most valuable company, ahead of the Royal Bank AND that they are now expanding sales into China. Balsillie headed the firm until March of this year when he resigned over $250 million in options 'accounting errors'. So it seems we're talking about some of the biggest money in Canada.
