EBOOK
About
Michael Zareski's Independent is about a dedicated civil servant who rises to the top
of the Nova Scotia corrupt patronage riddled political system ruled by Premier John
Buchanan and the outcome of his efforts to stymie and expose one of the Canada's
most corrupt governments
In June 1990, Zareski a former Deputy Minister of Government Services was invited to
testify at a Public Accounts Committee and in response to questions from the opposition
Liberal Party members told the truth about pervasive patronage practice within the
Buchanan government. In the weeks and months that followed he continued to expose a
litany of further corruption scandals leading to an RCMP investigation and the unexpected
resignation of Buchanan to accept a seat in the Canadian Senate from his friend Prime
Minister Brian Mulroney.
The story exposes behind the scenes details on the modus operandi of political power
brokers not previously reported on by the media and the conspiracy of retaliation from
the government and other to discredit and vilify one who dared to speak truth to power.
Zareski was a problem to the system that has successfully been able to program the
population to believe that government has their best interests at heart and if you stand
up against that programming, you become an outsider.
For his efforts to bring political reform to government, Zareski lost everything including his
career, finance, family, and friends and spent the next ten years in a remote community
in northern Cape Breton living hand to mouth coming to terms with his spiritual journey
and confirming that by trusting his internal guidance; staying calm and peaceful under all
circumstances; and doing what is in front of him, that the way forward to the purpose
and meaning of his life will be revealed
