Did Radicals Aim To Overthrow Government? The Winnipeg Free Press, 27 January 1977, Front Page.
This article, “Did Radicals Aim To Overthrow Government?”, in the The Winnipeg Free Press of 27 January 1977, is careful to exclude most names of individuals and of the “radical” organization subject of Solicitor-General Jean-Pierre Goyer’s “letter” “warning” government departments of subversive activities. However, the reference to a $68,000 federal-government grant to the “radical group” by Central Mortgage and Housing Corporation, identifies the unnamed radical organization working to overthrow the government of Canada as Praxis Corporation, also then known as the “Research Institute for Social Change”.
One name the WFP does reveal is that of Walter Rudnicki, described by the WFP as “policy planning director of Central Mortgage and Housing Corp”. That raises my question, was Rudnicki responsible for the CMHC award to Praxis of the $68,000, its main operating budget?
The question is important because just prior to Rudnicki’s employment with the CMHC, he was an official in the Privy Council Office of Canada which conducts research to advise the Prime Minister.
Rudnicki’s official biography (a short one, to cover his personal and professional archives on file with the Archives, University of Manitoba in Winnipeg), describes his positions with the PCO and then the CMHC this way:
“Rudnicki also worked within government as Secretary of the Social Policy Committee, in the Privy Council Office (PCO), and as a senior policy advisor for Cabinet Minister Robert Andras (1968-1970). In 1969 he left the PCO and became the Executive Director of the Central Mortgage and Housing Corporation (CMHC) and advised the Minister on housing and urban development.”
Rudnicki will figure in an upcoming post on the Edmund Burke Society, founded in 1967 by three men, including University of Toronto student, F. Paul Fromm as an “anticommunist” group. Information that I currently have indicates that Walter Rudnicki exposed the Edmund Burke Society as a national police operation (a front) of the federal government of Canada. Therefore, this initial post will help to connect Rudnicki himself to the Trudeau federal government.
In this article in the 1977 Winnipeg Free Press, Jean-Pierre Goyer, Solicitor General in 1971, identifies Rudnicki as one of 21 “subversives” linked to the Communist Praxis Corporation, working to overthrow the government of Canada. Somehow, Rudnicki cleared himself, and returned to work for the federal government and its agencies.
Meanwhile, why did Solicitor-General Jean-Pierre Goyer decide to blow the whistle, naming some twenty-one individuals as likely “radicals” (subversives) involved in a plot at Praxis to overthrow the government of Canada? The question is important, because, as American anticommunist Alan Stang reveals in the April 1971 issue of American Opinion, Jean-Pierre Goyer himself was a communist. Said Stang:
Another thing you need if you are imposing a dictatorship is control of the police. In Canada, the Royal Canadian Mounted Police are controlled by the Solicitor-General. So Trudeau made Jean-Pierre Goyer the Solicitor-General — when Parliament was not in session and could not question him. Goyer, it goes without saying, was a regular contributor to Cité Libre. Isn’t everybody? He was once arrested for staging a sit-in outside the office of the Premier of Quebec. He has been involved in several pro-Communist fronts. And he has attended Communist meetings behind the Iron Curtain. Like his friend Trudeau, he is a revolutionary.
This is the man now running the national police of Canada.
In the same long article, in a section headed “The Poor War Revolution”, Stang also talks about Praxis. He says, “Praxis is what the Communists call an “agit-prop” outfit (agitation and propaganda), egging people on to Marxist revolution.”
The Poor People’s Conference run by Praxis had been financed by the federal government of Pierre Elliott Trudeau through funds contributed by Trudeau’s Minister of Health and Welfare John Munro, through such federal agencies as the National Council of Welfare.
Stang quotes from a speech by Alex Bandy to the Poor People’s Conference run by Jerry [Ferry] Hunnius via Praxis:
“… The way Munro tells it, the government is really, secretly, on our side. It’s everybody else who is against us and that’s why the government can’t help us. So, the master plan is to give us money to organize and demonstrate and win popular support, then the government will move ….” [Emphases added.]
Obviously, the de facto federal government of Pierre Elliott Trudeau was not at all hostile to Praxis Corporation.
Stang describes the kind of “social change” that Praxis “radicals” were working for:
… in March, 1970, Praxis had run another conference, on “industrial democracy,” at which Gerry Hunnius, who runs Praxis, said workers should “control the means and processes of production.” What that means, said Hunnius, is this: “It should be obvious that a fully operational system of workers’ self-management cannot operate within a Capitalist system …. ”
In October, 1970, Praxis had run still another Conference — this one on “Workers’ Control and Community Control” — at which a demand was made to destroy Capitalism by revolution. Capitalism would be replaced by “radical Socialism.” Confrontation is obsolete, the conferees were told. What they should do now is “infiltrate,” and, like “microbes,” destroy Canada from within.”
Furthermore, Stang links Hunnius to Pierre Elliott Trudeau:
It is interesting to note that in 1962, Gerry Hunnius, who runs Praxis, which ran the Conference Pierre paid for, was in Moscow at the World Congress for General Disarmament and Peace, sponsored by the Communist World Peace Council – which had sponsored Trudeau’s trip to Moscow ten years before. In 1963, Hunnius went to work as European representative of the Canadian Peace Research Institute, which the Canada Council supports with public funds — and two directors of which, at one time, were Trudeau and Pelletier. Another director, named in 1962, was Communist Jean-Louis Gagnon. [Emphases added.]
Which brings us full-circle to our equally Communist Solicitor-General, and back to my question, why would Jean-Pierre Goyer (appointed by Trudeau “when Parliament was not in session and could not question him” said Stang) “blow the whistle” on the radicals at Praxis? Goyer himself, like Pierre Elliott Trudeau and Jean-Louis Gagnon are penetrated Communists working “like microbes” to “destroy Canada” … for the Yugoslav system of Communist “worker control” or “industrial democracy”.
According to my original research, the Trudeau objective is excactly the Praxis objective: Yugoslav-style Communist “Worker Control”, aka “industrial democracy” of the kind practiced under Marshall Tito. That information comes from a reading of the 1972 manifesto of the Parti Québécois for a Communist state of Quebec — which I have translated into English — together with a 1972 Radio-Canada transcript and audio tape — which I have also translated into English — in which the manifesto is identified as calling for Yugoslav-style Communism for Quebec.

Furthermore, the Parti Québécois was set up by Lévesque (1967-1968) on orders of Trudeau and other embedded Reds under Soviet Agent Lester Bowles Pearson. That news emerges from a 1967 dispatch of American CIA agent Edward C. Bittner, then stationed in Ottawa; confirmed by Jean-François Lisée (a main PQ strategist and prolific author of state-funded political pot-boilers) in circa 1990 by interviews with parties mentioned in the dispatch. the Bittner dispatch, said Lisée, revealed the existence of a “secret committee” of “Liberals” most being cabinet ministers from Quebec in the Lester Pearson federal government. On the committee were Pierre Elliott Trudeau, Jean Marchand, Maurice Sauvé and others [translation]:
“the Committee encouraged René Lévesque and his sympathisers within and outside the Liberal Party of Québec to set up a distinct party, which would be soundly defeated in an electoral showdown.” [Emphasis added.]
“Electoral” meaning “referendum”. And thus we have the true source of our Quebec “independence” or “sovereignty” referendums.
Obviously, the “radicals'” plan to penetrate and destroy Canada “like microbes” had long been well under way at the federal level. Lester Bowles Pearson was in fact a Soviet agent, exposed in the U.S. McCarran hearings and to the FBI by defecting GRU Elizabeth Bentley (formerly with Soviet military intelligence).
Jean-François Lisée — a known Communist — is now the elected leader of the Communist PQ [7 October 2016], succeeding multimillionaire Pauline Marois, Lucien Bouchard, Bernard Landry, Jacques Parizeau and René Lévesque in their goal of making the province of Quebec into a Communist banana republic attached to the “rest of Canada” and to the “USA” by “trade agreements”.
I have read that the Canada Council was actually funded or majority funded from the outset by David Rockefeller (whose Chase Manhattan bank co-funded the 1917 Bolshevik Revolution), but I haven’t got the footnote handy right now. However, and cautiously, a few words on Praxis from the Lyndon Larouche group. “Former” Marxist Lyndon Larouche’s Executive Intelligence Review (EIR) of July 12, 1977, Vol. IV, No. 28 (ISSN 0146-9614), referring to EIR’s own research (“Praxis: The Institute for Policy Studies’ Canadian Extension”), has alleged:
A preliminary investigation of the actual nature of the Praxis Corp. network reveals it to be the centerpiece in a broad-based, largely Rockefeller-inspired, conspiracy directed at all phases of the Canadian policy making process. Information on Praxis and associated networks gathered in Canada and gridded against the extensively documented activities of the terrorist controllers at the U.S.-based Institute for Policy Studies (IPS) both in North America and in Europe show the Praxis Corp. to be an IPS-Canadian front organization.
The EIR concludes:
This identification, matched in turn against known official Rockefeller policy options for Canada, allows the efficient assemblage of the complete profile of Rockefeller and allied network agencies of subversion directed at Canadian national sovereignty.
