Notes:

An analysis of how the fraudulent history in bill S-219 was sold to Canada's parliament. Written in very academic terms, the language of social work.

The author was a social worker in Toronto in the SE Asian community for 10 years before becoming a PhD student at York. Former director of VWAT? She describes one of her specialties as "Cold War Epistemology", which appears to be academic code for the yellow flag stuff.
