Canada Launders $1 Trillion - with Sam Cooper

True Patriot Love — Mon, 09 Mar 2026 21:28:39 +0000

Join TPL Media's Mike Wixson and Brian Isted as they sit down with Sam Cooper to discuss the current state of Canada.

Sam Cooper is a prominent Canadian investigative journalist, formerly with Global News and Postmedia, renowned for his exposés on the Chinese Communist Party’s (CCP) influence operations in Canada, particularly through alliances with triad-organized crime groups and extensive money laundering schemes.

His groundbreaking 2021 book, Wilful Blindness: How a Network of Narcos, Tycoons and CCP Agents Infiltrated the West, details the “Vancouver Model” of transnational crime, revealing how Chinese state actors, intelligence operatives, and tycoons linked to triads have exploited British Columbia’s casinos and real estate markets to launder billions in drug proceeds, including f***anyl, while infiltrating political and corporate networks to advance Beijing’s interests.

Cooper’s reporting, building on leaked intelligence like the 1990s Project Sidewinder, has spurred governmental inquiries such as the Cullen Commission, exposed alleged election interference and cash-for-access schemes involving Canadian officials, and drawn both acclaim from national security experts and backlash, including defamation suits from pro-Beijing figures, underscoring the risks of challenging these entrenched networks.
