Jim Balsillie was chairman of RIM (makers of Blackberry cell phones), and currently holds the titles of co-CEO and director of the company.
He has made headlines over the last several years, not to mention tremendous popularity for trying to bring an NHL hockey team to the city of Hamilton Ontario twice.
Here is what the main stream media has not been covering. Jim and an international think tank called CIGI.
About CIGI (from their
website)
The Centre for International Governance Innovation (CIGI) is an international think tank, founded in 2001. CIGI's main purpose is to address international governance challenges through world-class research. CIGI strives to identify and generate ideas for global change by studying, advising and networking with scholars, practitioners and governments on the character and desired reforms to multilateral governance issues. Through conferences, workshops, publications, public events and technology, CIGI aims to raise capacity to effect change in public policy both in Canada and around the world. CIGI gratefully acknowledges the support of the Government of Canada and the Government of Ontario.
But an even more disturbing development was created in 2007. The Balsillie School of International Affairs.
The Balsillie School of International Affairs is an independent academic institution devoted to the study of international affairs and global governance. The school will assemble a critical mass of extraordinary experts to understand, explain and shape the ideas that will create effective global governance. More
HERE This school is teaching its students programs such as: International Economic Governance, Global and Human Security, International Law, Institutions and Diplomacy, and Shifting Global Order. In other words, a University for the future employee's of the new world order.
Jim Balsille is not alone in the project though. Other financial contributors include:
Scotiabank
TD Friends of the Environment Foundation
The University of Waterloo
Wilfrid Laurier University
an anonymous benefactor contributed a multi-million dollar donation in support of The African Initiative, a five-year CIGI program that will research, assess and develop policy solutions to address the socio-economic impacts of climate change on the African continent.

HERE The School also receive next to no media coverage, unless it is a useless report like this
CTV storyHaving a school devoted to global governance, funded by globalist organizations and governments, a front man that has large amounts of popularity in the area, and gets no media coverage = A very bad situation!
In a free country, with people who want to keep their national identity. A school for global governance just does not fit. The globalism that is being taught to the students of The Balsillie School of International Affairs will eradicate Canada's sovereignty through free trade, economics unions, eventually a governmental union called the North American Union, and then the world government.
We need to raise the awareness of educational institutions like this not only in Canada but around the world. Without them, the elite's will not be able to have trained and educated global governance "leaders" in the future.
