A whisper of our past echoed as the movers departed, leaving us amidst the scattered remnants of our former life. The only solace in this abrupt displacement? The phone was thoughtfully activated in tune with our arrival. The seismic shift from Vancouver wasn't by choice but rather the shadowed aftermath of a high-risk drug undercover operation. My 'evil twin', Bobby 'Spade' Williams, had daringly pierced the veil of notorious Vancouver criminal rings. But with great success came the spectre of danger. Ottawa's relative obscurity became a sanctuary until justice had its day in court. However, a slight misstep by the DOJ Crown set in motion a chilling chain of events that would bring a known contract assassin into our once serene narrative. The underworld responded with fury as Garry chipped away at the icy facade of organized crime. This daunting chapter would not only reshape Garry's identity as a lawman but galvanize him to challenge the very system that fostered criminal growth in Canada. His narrative is not just a tale of police work; it paints a larger canvas detailing the sinister web spun by the Chinese Triad crime syndicates. Their empire, built on drug trafficking, used its vast wealth for pervasive influence, elite subjugation, and systemic bribery. Disturbingly, this clandestine operation wasn't unknown to the nation's helm - the Prime Minister and other luminaries. Their silence often masked as ignorance, echoed the tragedies endured by countless virtuous souls within RCMP and CSIS. Despite the oppressive shadows cast upon him, Garry emerged, taking on a pivotal role as the National Director of the Proceeds of Crime Division, RCMP. His tenacity and grit, ironically, were the very traits that deterred him from ascending to the highest echelons of the Force. This paradox epitomizes the structural and moral decay that plagued the RCMP—a descent further exemplified by the explosive revelations of the Phantom Secure operation, spotlighting the treachery of CCP spy Cameron Ortis. Garry's moving memoir uncovers the veiled transgressions of the past, charting the RCMP's metamorphosis into a fractured entity. The nation's image as a refuge for international crime magnates and the tragic fentanyl epidemic both owe their roots to the very warnings sounded by Garry and Brian McAdam, which were covered in Michel Juneau-Katsuya's Sidewinder report. was originally panned and then destroyed by management within CSIS, who were more interested in their careers than upsetting their political Masters from high up. That report was from a bygone era and its findings sidelined until recently. With both Under Cover and The Mosaic Effect, Canadians now have a better understanding of the damage done by ambitious politicians and power-hungry corporations. Today, Garry remains on the front lines, safeguarding financial terrains as Chief Compliance Officer for VersaBank. Drawing from his vast reservoir of expertise, he tirelessly implores the government to awaken to Canada's escalating crime vortex, advocating for a safer legacy for our progeny. "
