The Penniless Pensioner Returns: Can He Save Canada: Chapter Two: Some Transparency

You are no doubt swept up in the jargon of the day which includes transparency and conflicts of interest.

My colleague and friend, Robert K. Stephen, will be assisting me in the writing of this treatise. No. He is not a ghost writer but a coach and an experienced author of several literary masterpieces (his words not mine) including “Life at Megacorp”, “Reggie the Egyptian Rescue Dog”, “Andrej the Orphaned Ukrainian Dog” and “Mutantism on the March”.

Ollie, Mookie & Dylan Global Publishing will be the publisher. My relations with Wuhan Wet Market Publishing, publisher of “The Penny Pensioner: Misaligned, Maligned but Marvelous” have been terminated. Close to 12 million copies of my last work were sold throughout the globe. I made a fair sum of money from my book but a large sum was skimmed off a firm of independent auditors I retained has advised me. The principals of Wuhan Wet Market Publishing were last seen facedown floating in the China Sea. Their criticism of the PRC Five Year Plan was not received with open arms by the party bureaucracy.

My new publisher Ollie, Mookie and Dylan Global Publishing is a partnership of the “owners” of three brave and magnificent dogs described in Bob’s book “Reggie the “Egyptian Rescue Dog”. The book was the screenplay for two Walt Disney animated films of the same name as the book. Bob, author of “Reggie the Egyptian Rescue Dog” and Fay owners of the late but brave and fearless Dylan the West Highland Terrier are filthy rich. D and E owners of the late Ollie and Mookie respectively made a very tidy sum from royalties from Bob’s book and the two Disney films based on it.

Dylan the West Highland Terrier also starred in an Academy Award film with Mel Gibson and Nicole Kidman. Dylan the Westie has sat on the Iranian Ayatollah’s lap and has had several audiences with the Pope. Bob and Fay are friends with Drake, former President Joe Biden and his wife Jill. Needless to say I am in excellent and caring hands.

Finally, I have no conflict of interest of any sort.
