A gangster who controls the prime minister...is it fiction or reality? 🫣

If you are familiar with my Hernandez series, you already know it centers on a former Mexican cartel boss who comes to Canada with intentions of being a 'legit' businessman. Despite all that, he continues to demonstrate the same violent methods he used in the cartel, not to mention finding a way to control the police, the government, and, of course, the prime minister.

When I originally added these details to my series very early on, it kind of gave me a moment of pause. Although I had no doubts there was corruption in Canada, would it really go that far up the chain?

Then this year, I read some articles by Canadian journalist, Sam Cooper, and I discovered that perhaps, I wasn't so off track after all. I highly recommend his Substack (The Bureau) or his book, Wilful Blindness.
