Polymath Majid Hoseini's view about Nepotism in Canada
Via email: majidhosseini@ut.ac.ir
Majid Hoseini is an assistant professor at the University of Tehran in Political Science. He appeared in the state media of the Islamic Republic of Iran. He used Canada's politics as an effective political system to avoid political corruption or nepotism due to the laws.
Hoseini does not know about Canadian politics because when he was using a reference to Canadian politics, he did not mention the source of his information. Canadian politics has three layers, municipal, provincial and federal governments. Each layer of the Canadian government has policies to prevent or avoid political corruption or nepotism.
He says in 1944 AD, a law was passed in a parliament in Canada to prevent nepotism when a politician is in office and post leaving the office. Once again, it is unclear which parliament he is talking about. He says that when a Prime Minister or President leaves office. It becomes clear that he does not know what he is talking about; Canada does not have a president but a Prime Minister.
When Canadian politicians leave their offices, no one controls them. And they are not responsible for their past mistakes or their past decisions. Often, politicians at three levels of government render resignation to cover up their mistakes.
He claims the system will confiscate all assets if a politician is elected to office and fails to disclose a conflict of interest. There is no such law.
After closely examining polymath Majid Hoseini's
comments, he discusses the federal accountability Act.
"The
bill aimed to increase the transparency of government spending and
establish clearer links between approved expenditures and their
outcomes. The bill was passed by the House of Commons on June 22,
2006, by the Senate on November 9, 2006, and was granted royal assent
on December 12, 2006."1
The
above act was introduced by the former prime minister of Canada,
Stephen Harper (Conservative Party), due to his election promise to
combat the Liberal Party's politicians' conflict of interest. Former
Prime Minister of Canada Paul Martin and his cabinet ministers had
countless conflicts of interest, but they did not lose assets.
He says if anyone gives two hundred dollars a gift, it belongs to the government.
When the First Prime Minister of Canada, Sir John Macdonald elected to the Prime Minister's Office, no one was allowed to give any form of gift to politicians; it was deemed a bribe.
He says that a politician cannot hire anyone. It is shorted sighted view of him. Canadian politicians always hire friends and family members, such as Premier of Ontario Doug Ford, who employs his nephew for multiculturalism.2
He claims that a minister leaving their cabinet position are not allowed to enter the private enterprise.
Former Prime Minister of Canada, Stephen Harper, works for Israel's spy tech security.3
He says politicians are not allowed to use their knowledge to do business. It does not apply to politicians. It applies to all sectors. It deems as a breach of trust and confidentiality.
Martha Stewart went to prison due to inside trading.
He says government employees are not allowed to work in private sectors.
It is false; government employees can work in private and public sectors.
About the lobby system:
Canada has a lobby system, and it is not what he says.
