Hi folks

In Brant County/Brantford area Walton International Group  (linked to investors from Singapore) has purchased 4,400 acres of prime farmland in land banking schemes. Not clear if it's for property, natural gas, water or aggregate.

Do a search on the newly released data base by the International Consortium of Investigative Journalists regarding off shore accounts and Walton International Group has plenty of references:  https://offshoreleaks.icij.org/

Interesting to note that Walton Industries and their parent company, Interborder Holdings Limited are both located in Calgary but have offices in Singapore, Germany and Hong Kong. The EVP of Interborder Holdings Ltd. is CBC political commentator Rick Anderson who is a political strategist. He went from being a an active Liberal member, then he joined the Reform Party and later he worked with Premier Mike Harris in Ontario.


ICIJ allows members of the public to provide more details on cased. I basically provided them with the above info. 

I encourage all of you to do searches on firms you think might be linked to these off shore account schemes and feel free to give comment when you can.
