Del Mastros: The Second Coming of CAHILL
Former MP Dean Del Mastro in handcuffs
Dean Del Mastro is Peterborough’s former MP, on bail after he was sentenced to a month in jail for election spending fraud. Before he was MP , he worked at Del Mastro Motors in Peterborough. Now he’s executive director of Deltro Solar – The National Post
The Cahill Energy-Clare Cowan revelations have established that our government has no reservation doing business with the riff and the raff of this world. There is no need to rehash the embarrassing Cahill episode suffice to post the link to agreements clandestinely initialled by four ministers of the Crown (Chris Sinckler, Denis Kellman, Darcy Boyce and Denis Lowe).
BU posted in October 2015 the following – Cahill Energy + Deltro Electric Inc = Poor Governance and there was little or response from the traditional media until now. The local media is a passive lot and there is hardly an appetite to uncover real news. The minister of finance Chris Sinckler has even had the gumption to deny knowledge of the coming of the Del Mastros and Deltro Electric. When will Barbadians (and traditional media) hold minister Sinckler accountable for his lack of respect for the office he holds?
By the way, what is the renewable energy plan for Barbados? There is the proposed Cahill Waste-to-Energy plant, Del Matros Solar Farm, EMERA’s Solar Farm…did we miss anyone? Is there an opportunity for local entrepreneurs to to cash in on the renewable energy bonanza?
There is no need to be prolix on this issue to convey the obvious point. The coming of the Del Mastros is another national embarrassment. There is a standard in the private sector the requirement to evaluate vendors based on various measures including reputational capital and strength of brand. Clearly government’s readiness to welcome Clare Cowan (Cahill Energy) and the Del Mastros (Del Electrics) of this world brings into question, judgement.
BU family member Vincent posted the following:
It is a dun deal……Del Mastro has bought the old Banks beer site and presently has 14 containers at the harbour awaiting clearance.

Want to know which government ministers signed onto the Deltro agreement, is it the same fantastic 4 who signed on to Cahill. Will we hear these two proven criminal Canadians complaining and critizing DBLP government ministers for being corrupt and of low intelligence as Cow-an/Cahill did. Who else from Canada is involved in this Deltro scam. Whatever happened to the Cow-an/Cahill scam.
Someone asked a very valid question on another blog yesterday, given the massive land mass of Canada, what are the Del Mastros doing on a small island such as Barbados. Canada has been suffering job losses for over 3 years, the dollar is hitting rock bottom, unemployment is extremely high among the young people. Why are those two not in Canada creating jobs for Canadians.
Who told them Barbados was an easy mark because of weak, shady government ministers who are not above letting in criminals as long as they are white and say they have millions, more importantly, who introduced them to DBLP monsters…oops, ministers.
How many other known criminals and Cow-an style con artists will be allowed into the island to pose as ‘business people’ creating jobs. Anyone who is business savvy can create jobs and there are many talented people in this regard who are local, why does DBLP need foreign criminals to create jobs in Barbados or to operate a solar plant, when the innovation was created in Barbados by black Barbadians. .

I am not sure who the author of this blog is, but within the first paragraph there is the accusation of Ministers signing agreements clandestinely. A little bell went off in my head and i decided to refresh myself on the meaning of the word clandestine, because that implication was seemingly wrong. I decided to look up the meaning again and I was right.
Clandestine: “…secret and concealed, often for illicit reasons;”
The agreement between the Ministers and advisors, was done in the full light of the press, the information has been public for a number of years, so it was not secret or concealed, and the intention was not for illicit purposes, or reasons, nor was it furtive. There was a reception to which members of the public were invited.
The use of certain words and phrases are intended to incite rather than inform. As a consequence the article must be s3en in the light in which it is used. Malicious!

So what……because they are criminals…..you say, why don’t you tell your masters to say that to all the young black men they are locking up in Barbados and labeling them criminals, yet you and them both see nothing wrong with doing business with white Canadian criminals, don’t tell me so what, tell that to the young people who are watching…..again, you are very corrupting.

Alvin……why are you unable to compartmentalize, you had a problem with Harper’s ultra conservative and exceedingly racist and some say shady government, but you have no problem with Deltro and the Del Mastros, one of whom made up part of Harper’s government and worked directly for him. You can’t have it both ways. Either the Harper government was comprised of crooks or saints, they can’t be both.
And besides, the Del Mastros were locked up under the Harper government, so there goes your theory that the governments in Canada does business with them. It’s only DBLP government would be both dumb and greedy enough to have that stench permeate the atmosphere on the island.

From reading their press release, it appears that Deltro is also using Barbados as their manufacturing hub to export these solar panels, if that is what they are really doing, throughout the Caribbean and the Americas, so they say. But given the state of the Canadian dollar, they could have stayed in Canada and done the same thing. How much money, outside of what they spent for buying a home and the factory site will Barbados actually see from that investment, the operative word is investment……their money will be banked in Canada or elsewhere.
Seems to me, with the Del Matros plans to convince credit union officials to allow them free access to funds via union members loans, they are actually planning to walk away with much more than the “26 million” they will reportedly spend. Since Barbados has all those solar startups, Deltro should be focusing on the Americas which has a population in the hundreds of millions, perfect for such a business.
Alvin is finding it way too easy to sit in Canada and sell Barbados, he did not like the Harper government for Canada, worked vigorously to rid Canada of them, his words, not mine, but don’t mind one of Harper’s convicted MP’s going into Barbados and pretend he is saving the island.

There is a degree of give and take to foreign investment that the country has to understand. Barbados desperately needs foreign investment. The vocal tree huggers don’t care if there is growth in the economy. They care less about unemployment. The only thing that matters is their narrow selfish interests. They prefer people starve while they talk debate sh*t over environmental impacts. Environmental concerns are important but these recycling hum bugs over exaggerate to the point where they chase away investors .
The foreign exchange laden investor then heads off to a neighboring country easily sets up business and employs dozens of people . All of a sudden the same tree huggers and pests who protested the presence of foreign investor’s enterprise are on the soap box hollering that the neighboring island is doing better than B’dos. We have witnessed this nonsense often.
The scales have to weighted. Understandably precautions must be at the forefront to safeguard against environmental degradation and the Stanford frauds who roam the third world. Barbados however has to get its act together ignore the doomsday tree huggers or we will continue to fall behind. GOB is left with no choice but to dismiss the environmental pests who lurk to pounce whenever a potential investor comes calling. The mass of the people want investment and work don’t let a tiny bunch of jackasses persist in chasing away investors from our island.

What you expect of governments, lawyers, politicians, entrepreneurs and so many other people is like going into a house of prostitution and expecting to find a virgin (male or female) Can’t happen!!
How many presidents of the United States have been pure and unsullied when they won their elections? How many of them had parents associates, or even family that were pure and unsullied? How many Popes were pure and unsullied? How many kings and empire builders were worthy of their crowns? How many leaders of African countries obtained their portfolios without skeletons in their closets? How many Caribbean leaders were innocent of making deals which they supposed were of the interest of their electors?
The colour of money that is used for the benefit of the people, is never white, it is multicoloured, and whether it comes from a white person or a black person, and it is obtained by fraud it is still the same. It is therefore of no importance to point out that the debtors are white. On the news today you would have heard about the Nigerian leader; a woman, who has been charged in her home country for using the Nigerian government’s money to purchase St. Lucian citizenship, in their investment for citizenship scheme. This was a Black woman. So you see, crockery has no particular colour, or even sex.
In law there are different sentences depending on the severity of the crime. Into which category does the “crime” of “election fraud” of the kind alluded to, does this fit?
When the ABC highway expansion was built, Vecco was actually in jail, in Albany New York.
Deltro is out on bail. Is there a similarity or is all crime the same? In this case John Kennedy should never have been President. His father was a bootlegger and whisky smuggler during prohibition.Two billionaire brothers have today given fifteen million dollars to the Ted Cruz election campaign. And these are people who are strong supporters of “Christian” values. Think Mormons. Think Salt Lake City. Think Utah,Think the Mormon Church and its influence. Do you think strings are not being pulled constantly there? You need something to really think about? Think of the Genocide of the indigenous Indians of the United states. Draw your own conclusions. Money, especially big money, talks. It has no colour.
Our country needs investment, and our people need work. Our country needs foreign investors to bring in foreign exchange, and it needs manufacturing, and if someone wants to set up a Solar Panel manufacturing plant; quite distinct from a Solar Water heating manufacturing, plant, the number of solar panel installers is irrelevant (this @ Its time). There IS a difference between the two

These included the proposed appointment of three new judges, six new judicial assessments, the removal from the computer system of discontinued cases that still registered as active and the abolition of preliminary inquiries.
In making the announcement at the start of the judicial year, Sir Marston revealed that a bill to abolish preliminary inquiries would first have to go before Parliament, but until then one magistrate would hear all preliminary inquiries.
The Chief Justice added that the recommendations to appoint the three prospective judges had been approved by Government and they would take up their positions as soon as they were appointed and undergo training.
“Once they are appointed, one of the three will be taken off the roster each month so they can use the time to write decisions,” Sir Marston stated at the time.”

The thing that has to be evaluated and a great mount of thought given to is the value of the US dollar which for all intents and purposes is the Barbados dollar. It will be very difficult to compete with other countries. Barbados will not be able to compete in this business with countries such as Brazil. The Barbados dollar has increased by just about 300% in recent years over the Brazilian real. A worker in Brasil makes a state
regulated wage of 770 real a month. That is about 233 US or 460 Barbados a month Check out http://energy.sourceguides.com/businesses/byP/solar/byB/manufacturers/byGeo/byC/Brazil/Brazil.shtml

Political transparency is an optical illusion. Quebec spent $45million on the Charbonneau commission into corruption in the construction industry. While several mayors resigned during proceedings, and others are facing criminal charges, and it was found that corruption was far more pervasive and serious that initially thought (commissioners opinion, anybody who knew anything appreciated the depth of corruption); the final report was a farce. You see, prior to beginning, they appointed 3 Comissioners, one of whom was known to be in the final stages of terminal cancer. So when it came time to produce the report they were only 2. And the primary function of one, Reneaud Lachance, was to ensure that any reference to the Liberal provincial party or any provincial level politician was removed from the Report. Any of his objections were automatic, because there was no third or deciding vote?
Should Dean DM win his appeal, and the courts find his cousin ‘not guilty’ neither will have a criminal record?
The ‘transparency hat’ says the economics do not fully add up. The only ‘raw material’ Bim is basic in is sunshine?
HoHoHo….a merry Christmas to all (excuse my political incorrectness)

No Northern….after living in the US, one would be crazy to have a high opinion of either North American country. Re Conrad Black, let me replace the US with England and they did not want him there either, not to even pose with their useless title. At the time of the scandal he was living in the US. The metropolises have a ‘farce’ as you call it of a corruption investigation but more often than not someone pays a penalty, the Del Mastros is a fine example, albeit on a small scale.
Where have you, cause I have never, heard of any investigation into corruption in Barbados, so why encourage DBLP to import corruption, even if Del Mastros as you predict may win their trial, why would they suddenly turn honest in Barbados where there is no one to keep them in check and corruption is encouraged. And if they don’t win on appeal, then what…..Barbados will be saddled with 2 convicted criminals. The same Mulroney got away with all types of offshore enterprises on the island, but in those days there was no social media or anyone with the nerve to question the activities of foreign criminals.
I have seen Asians charged with corruption in Canada and no you do not have to live there to do anything as long as you are not caught, if you are, you are dealt with. Bajans have to be diligent, there are enough local business criminals on the island to destroy it with corruption for another 3 generations, I don’t believe they need any other countries criminals added to the landscape, particularly when they can’t get rid of them, right now, one is convicted and one has to stand trial, there is the potential for criminality, who cares about what may or may not happen to their cases, they committed the crime, it’s their problem.

What was the nature of the criminality you accuse the Delmastros of?
In Canada persons of all ethnicities have been charged with criminal offences, as long as there is corroborating evidence. Similarly in Barbados. Didn’t the Speaker of the house appear before the High Court, and forced to repay the money to the client? Wasn’t the Minister of Education brought before the court for a traffic offence, fined and had to pay the fine forthwith? Are there not cases of Lawyers being disbARRED, MADE TO PAY BACK MONEY TO CLIENTS,sentenced to jail, and served time in jail? Do you want to see every and any one who is ACCUSED of a criminal act, without the evidence, without having been found guilty, punished? What type of person are you?

Alvin…..don’t be an ass, one Del Mastros has already been convicted, he is appealing in the hopes that the Canadian court has made some procedural error that would allow him to slither out of the conviction, again, he has already been convicted, a vacating of his conviction would see the cousin slithering out of his trial, it may or may not happen, it’s not rocket science.
How would you like to see DBLP send all the convicted young black males up to Canada, regardless of their crimes, misdemeanor or felony….bet you would be the first to write the premier asking for their deportation. Why don’t you petition for all the black males with convictions to be allowed landed status.
Alvin your speaker of the house Michael Carrington, should have been charged with theft, he ignored the high court and did not deem it respectable enough to acknowledge the proceedings and that’s the reason why the disabled gentleman got a judgement, why don’t you try that in Canada, you are always trying to twist crimanal activities to favor the criminals you like. I am still waiting for you to continue justifying injecting vulnerable children on the island with the poison that is the HPV Vaccine.

I did not know you wanted an answer to the HPV question.
All vaccines are also combined with an adjuvant to increase the efficacy of the vaccine; depending on the type of vaccine. These may be chemical e.g Aluminum salts ( used with the HPV vaccine) or other combinations. I suspect thAT MOST PEOPLE WHO HAVE a reaction to the vaccine (HPV) either have an allergic reaction to the adjuvant or another component. Repeated testing on thousands of subjects during the click trials, and after millions of doses distributed worldwide, the percentage of adverse effects have not been sufficient to either trigger a recall or a cessation of the program.
I would prefer to treat the reactions to the vaccine than have to treat a woman with cervical cancer due to the Human Pappiloma Virus. Barbados has a very high incidence of HPV, and also Cervical cancer. As a Microbiologist I have no hesitation in advising women to have their children accept the vaccine both doses. I happened to be at the Munk Centre of the U.of T. when the developer of the vaccine disclosed his research, the results of the clinical Trials and the efficacy of the vaccine.
It is still being given in Toronto
The vaccine was thoroughly tested in order to meet Health Canada’s standards for safety and efficacy. Clinical trials for Gardasil involved around 33,000 people worldwide. Safety information was collected on individuals who received the HPV vaccine. These studies were large enough to detect reactions occurring as infrequently as one in several thousand. The reported reactions to this vaccine are typical reactions seen with most vaccines. These typical reactions include redness, soreness and swelling at the injection site. Gardasil is safe and effective, and it continues to be the HPV vaccine used in Ontario’s publicly funded Grade 8 program.
I remember the same types of reactions when we, in Barbados all received the small pox vaccine. I am still here many decades later.

You see a scam in everything. Was the Polio Vaccine a Scam? Actually there were two polio vaccines. Were they both scams? Would you have been more prepared to see people still in Iron Lungs, and or crippled, than taking the vaccines? Was the Small Pox Vaccine a SCAM? Was the Vaccine against Mumps, Rubella and Measles, a Scam?
One of my compatriots; Dr. Suzanne Workman,(Microbiologist) Working with Dr. Patsy Prussia (Pathologist), at UWI Cave Hill, did a study, and wrote her Thesis, on Human Papilloma Virus (HPV) on women in Barbados. I am familiar with their work. The prevalence of Cervical cancer due to HPV is high in Barbados, and one of the highest in the world.
Do you know what is involved in the preparation development and testing of vaccines before they are approved for administration to people? Do you know how many years it takes before these things are certified? , with minimal ( not statistically significant) adverse effects. Find out!!!
No one will be taking it on MY say so. Check out the research, the clinical trials and the doses that have been administered world wide. Not my say so. The excerpt I “pasted” above is from a report n HPV vaccine in Canada.
You are a Bajan, so you should heed the words of the old people: “Prevention better than cure”.
As I said before Cervical Cancer is better prevented, than to be tried to be cured. Vaccination with HPV vaccine, early in life, Prevents the spread of Cervical cancer later in life.

If that were strictly true, (that cervical cancer is a lifestyle disease,, usually with someone who has had sexual intercourse with a multiplicity of partners, then there would be a higher incidence and prevalence of Cervical Cancer among prostitutes. Cervical cancer due to HPV IS SEPARATE AND DISTINCT FROM CERVICAL CANCER DUE TO SQUAMOUS CELL CARCINOMA; those not detected early by a Pap smear and treated, THAT HAS INVADED DOWN THROUGH THE Basal layer. Lifestyle will account for these types of cancer of the cervix.
The vaccine is intended to protect those who start sexual proclivity at a very early age. And they start at a very early age in Barbados. Don’t forget it was once thought that AIDs was a disease of Homosexuals, only. We know different now don’t we.
Well Well cervical cancer is no respecter of political parties, and politics has no place in a discussion of this kind. Giving the vaccine, testing for HIV etc is not at the behest of any politician.

According to the Peterborough Examiner, based in Ontario, Canada, dated December 17, 2015, Dean said in an interview: “The company is buying piece of land in St. Michael, one of the 11 parishes of Barbados, in the Southwest part of the island, to build the plant. The real estate deal closes January 15. The money invested into the plant will be all private – they’re getting no subsidies from either the Government of Canada or Barbados.” Meanwhile on page 3 of Barbados TODAY dated December 16 it states: “The solar firm executive told BT while the company received some tax concessions and some import concessions . . .” I believe BT’s version, knowing how this Government operates. What I would like to know is whether they are getting the land at the same price as Cahill Energy – 6c per acre! I wouldn’t doubt it! Note that they have a date for the closure of the land deal! All of this was another covert op!
