AARC's corporate backers will have to withdraw quietly from this fiasco. With Paddy Meade's untimely demise at the Health Superboard, AARC will soon have to kiss their government stipend good-bye. The corporate community in Calgary will not tolerate another public shaming such as the one that resulted from Fifth Estate. A goodly sum of money is being diverted to lawyers by AARC of late, but so far, all for naught. The Wiz claimed they were suing everybody, but since the fundamental facts remained that he is a consummate fraud and con artist operating a cult that subjects initiates to a dangerous and entirely pseudoscientific regimen of rituals passed down from Synanon, he didn't have a leg to stand on. Lojek and pals took control of AARC's client records in an effort to stem the flow of evidence of AARC's criminal malpractise, and threatened CBC, but it was a bluff. The fact remains, the Wiz is a phys ed teacher/guidance counselor posing as a mental health practitioner. The entire program exists to create more members of the sect, increasing the Wiz's wealth and power. The clinical staff is composed of amateurs who have spent their entire adult lives in the sect, and the majority of "treatment", which consists of group behaviour coercion, is overseen by the peer counselors, who are entirely without qualification to provide mental health interventions. So, to sum up, there was no possible way for AARC to get into a court room standing on a slippery pile of shit, such as it is.
We have no idea how much money AARC garnered post-Fifth Estate. AARC's financial dealings have been misrepresented to the public since they were called Kids of the Canadian West. But there is no turning back the clock for AARC now.
By the by, the AARColyte posting here as Guest44431444 is not theWho, he is a former AARC staffer who concocted an ill-thought-out story in order to try to subvert the dissemination of real information about his cult. The Who has bigger problems on his plate today.
