The Oil-for-Food Scandal – The Canadian Connection
Paul Desmarais (senior) and Paul Martin (Junior)
"Its all about the oil" was the chant issued by a vast army of protesters around the world.
Yes, it may have been "all about the oil" – but it didn't involve Americans, who did not own any of the oil in Iraq, but rather a horde of rich global fat cats who wanted to make millions in a so-called U.N. humanitarian program.
One of those who made out like a bandit is a rich Canadian whose bank made millions and whose Paris-based holding companies include the originally French-Belgian oil company TotalFina Elf, which cut lucrative deals with Saddam's Iraq and is currently operating in war-torn Sudan. NewsMax
