SHOOTING THE MESSENGER
Till Death Do Us Part
One of her last requests was that I make one more attempt at telling my
story; now, our story. I should not have been surprised that my firing dismissal
from the Canadian Public Service on bogus accusations of insubordination still bothered her considering the surroundings in which she
died.
At the heart of Shooting the Messenger – Till Death Do Us Part is the story of my discovery of a multi-year, multi-million dollar fraud at the then Department of Foreign Affairs (Global Affairs) and my subsequent firing for failing to report the theft of additional millions.
Without the help of a lawyer, which we could no longer afford, I appealed my dismissal all the way to the Supreme Court of Canada.
Till Death Do Us Part ends with my wife's passing on the afternoon of July 5, 2019, away from where she had hoped to die.
Shooting the Messenger would make, at the very least, a gripping docudrama. Inquiries from producers welcomed.
