4.9/5 (33789 ratings)

Description:Canada has frequently been depicted as a country of sober-sides. Its seventeen million people are suppose to be hard-working and solid citizens, but humourless, colourless, and trifle dull. This myth is debunked by Frank Rasky.Here is a rogues' gallery of Canadian scallywag's, nimble in the art of embezzling, swindling, spying and gold-digging, presented by Frank Rasky, Editor of "Liberty", Canada's largest monthly national magazine. Among these rogues, who usually perform with charm and a prankish imagination, are:*Count Alexander Navarro Fernandez, the royal impostor from Montreal, who bilked hundreds of business men and was interned by the Mounties in New Brunswick as a spy; the rascal is still masquerading under his forty-seven different noms de crime, especially as the illegitimate son of King Alfonso of Spain.*A nervy Torontonian, Ralph M. Wilby, who applied for a job as an accountant at "Liberty" Magazine, but neglected to mention that he'd embezzled $400,000 from his former employers, and never breathed a word about his peculations to his three wives.*Herbert James McAuliffe, the absent-minded farceur from North Bay and Windsor, Ontario, who attempted the get-rich-slow scheme of counterfeiting fifty-cent Canadian coins.*Cassie Chadwick, the gold-digging Lorelei Lee of Eastwood, Ontario, who hoaxed her elegant way into a loot of over a million dollars by claiming to be the illegitimate daughter of Andrew Carnegie.*The whiskey-swigging atom bomb spies who were netted thanks to the secret code clerk in Ottawa, Igor Gouzenko.*Ferdinand Waldo Demara, Jr., nicknamed "Ferdinand The Bull-Thrower", who bamboozled the entire Canadian Navy by masquerading as a surgeon.*And Edward ("Brother-Twelve") Wilson, the swindling swami of British Columbia, who played god and lover to his female disciples, then absconded with their gold offerings secreted in strawberry jam jars.We have made it easy for you to find a PDF Ebooks without any digging.
