BRONFMAN CONNECTION – Brookfield's does not actually appear to be connected to Trudeau simply because Stephen Bronfman is the heir to Seagrams and this line of the Bronfmans were specifically closed out from that business and surrendered their shares in the late 1960s.

1993 Edper in trouble due to “meltdown in Canadian commercial property market” > on its own holds 5% of the total value of the Toronto Stock Exchange > sold off Royal Trust, Canada's second biggest trust bank

“Mr Cockwell also brought a knowledge of the pyramidal control mechanisms used by South African conglomerates, and thereby the formula for Edper's magical success. Securities and tax laws preclude such structures in many companies, but not in Canada. The limitations of Canada's federal and provincial disclosure requirements, combined with a timid taxation structure, enabled Cockwell to build Edper.

The result is an empire which is tied together in a Gordian knot of intercorporate control mechanisms. When you cut through its maze of 32 public companies, hundreds of private companies and various holding companies, it is an empire which is essentially focused on real estate, natural resources, financial services and consumer products. And the only person who fully understands it all, it seems, is Jack Cockwell.

In a nutshell, Edper aims to control companies, not own them.”

1954: Edper Holdings established as a trust for brothers Edward and Peter Bronfman (outcast nephews of Sam Bronfman, son of Allan Bronfman; shut out from Seagrams in 1952).

1959-1995: Edper Investments Ltd. Established [later Edper Enterprises]; serves as investment vehicle for the brothers until 1995 when they divested themselves of all holdings of Edper.

1995: The Pagurian Corporation approves changing its name to The Edper Group Limited.

1996: amalgamated with Hees International Bancorp Inc into The Edper Group Limited.

1997: The Edper Group Ltd and Brascan Ltd amalgamated to form EdperBrascan Corporation

2000: EdperBrascan Corporation changed its name to Brascan Corporation

2005: Brascan Corporation changes its name to Brookfield Asset Managment Inc.

• The Pagurian Corporation was controlled by a group led by Jack Cockwell, any accountant hired by the Bronfmans in the 1960s who later headed Hees International/Bancorp, Edper Equities, and Edper Investments. Cockwell moved to Canada from South Africa in 1966. *

*Trevor Eyton was a corporate lawyer who headed Brascan Ltd following Edper's acquisiton. He was also a Canadian Senator from 1991 (appointed by Brian Mulroney) until 2009 when he reached the mandatory retirement age of 75 years. *

> Brian Mulroney has eleven grandchildren, including two sets of twins. The twins were page boys and train bearers in Meghan Markle and Duke Harry's wedding.

SOME LINKS ON THE SEAGRAMS SIDE OF THINGS:

https://www.vanityfair.com/culture/2010/11/bronfman-201011 (The Heiresses and the Cult)

Sara first to join NXIVM in 2002

Keith Raneire founded Executive Success Programs in 1998 with Nancy Salzman (a neuro-linguistic programming trainer NLP = “controversial behavioral-modification regimen”)

[In 1990 he had founded a multi-level marketing company, Consumers' Buyline, then the ESP with Salzman. CB was shut down in 1993 after being investigated by regulators in 20 states and sued by NY's attorney general on the grounds it was a “pyramid scheme”.]

By 2002 ESP was seen mostly as “a successful corporate self-help program”; people reported amazing results. Alumni include Sheila Johnson (a co-founder of Black Entertainment Television); Antonion Novello (former U.S. surgeon general); Richard Branson [Necker Island connection]; Emiliano Salina (venture capitalist and son of Carlos Salinas, former president of Mexico; still a “prominent member of NXIVM” as of the article's publication)

> Clare was a harder sell; she was committed to an equestrian career and wasn't “searching for purpose” in her life the way that Sara was.

> Edgar Bronfman took his first intensive session with NXIVM in early 2003, allegedly “because 'he saw amazing changes' in his daughters.” There was eventually a falling out between him and the organization.

Kristen Keeffe “another top Raneire lieutenant, who today often represents Sara and Clare in court”

Toni Natalie NXIVM filed motion after motion against her in court (via Keeffe) and hired “the controversial Israeli-born private investigator Juval Aviv to monitor her home and look into her private life and business activities. Several times, she says, she was visited by F.B.I agents, most recently this past Februrary [2010].”

“As Raniere’s losses soared, he would tell people that Sara and Clare’s father was responsible. According to Bouchey, he said that Edgar Bronfman “had figured out a plot with the commodities clearing firm” to steal Raniere’s money. From January 2005 to late 2007, according to court filings, Raniere, trading through First Principles, a company registered in Nancy Salzman’s name, would lose close to $70 million—and the Bronfmans would cover $65.6 million of it. Between them, they would also spend close to $1 million to buy and refurbish Salzman’s house in Halfmoon; Clare would pay $2.3 million for a 234-acre horse farm outside Albany that nxivm would use; and Sara would buy a $6.5 million apartment in the Trump International Hotel & Tower in Manhattan that Salzman would use. They would also “lend” about $1.7 million to buy nxivm’s headquarters.”

This is a pretty lengthy article. Several years old, obviously, but I hadn't read it yet.

Juval Aviv is mentioned in this article, too, named as a "controversial Israel-born private investigator" NXIVM hired to monitor/investigate a woman named Toni Natalie, his ex.

“Investigative journalist Chet Hardin was one of the pioneer journalists who helped uncover the deeply disturbing secrets of NXIVM and laid it out on the public record.”
