Stanford Group"Politics is a game with him and that's what it was all about," Mr. Stanford's father, James, said in a recent interview. In Canada, Mr. Stanford claimed Pierre Beaudoin, head of
Bombardier Inc., suggested he open an office in Montreal for Stanford International Bank, a key part of his empire (Bombardier officials have played down Mr. Beaudoin's role). The Montreal office - which was shut down earlier this week and is in receivership - was also used to promote Mr. Stanford's public policy initiatives. It hosted a working lunch last year whose topic was the global role of the big emerging economies such as Brazil, India and China, according to Alain Lapointe, the head of the Montreal operations.
Joanne Thornton, a senior vice-president at the Stanford Washington Research Group in Washington, confirmed that she came up to Montreal to make a presentation at the luncheon last year.
