Tell me how a named company incorporated in - let's say Ontario - is any different from a numbered company when it comes to concealing beneficial ownership? Registration of company officers is part of the accessible corporate record, but you won't see the shareholding ownership until you have access to the company's own books which aren't available to everyone. The law basically states:
That's the same for any private company registered in ON, whether numbered or named.
These laws are generally harmonized across Canadian jurisdictions. We don't control Delaware any more than we control Switzerland.

They should not be travelling together anyway.
If folks want to be mad at anybody for worrying more about the security of the President, it's the USSS. In motorcades, there is an entire set of procedures, alternates, etc. for 'the package' (limo, security cars, etc.), not the rest of the crowd. There might be other people involved who have their own protected status, but they will not be as high as the President's. People who regularly travel or work with the President, or any other high security Internationally Protected Person, either knows this or should know it. Nobody should be cannon fodder, but anyone who thinks they have the same security value as their principal is mistaken.

The instance being discussed is American backsliding on the requirement to have beneficial ownership information provided to the US Government.

5+ percent yields, for the global reserve currency? with the massive deficits the USA is running, with the massive federal debt?
The USA may have just entered debt spiral territory
Treasury Auction Yield Hits Highest in 25 Years | Committee for a Responsible Federal Budget
2026-08-14-A $25 billion 30-year Treasury auction this week ended with yields at 5.216% – the highest since
I don't know what is driving this up, coordinated sell job, weaker demand as people sour on the US treasuries, or if AI is sucking up all the capital in the room, but either way, the chickens are starting to come home to roost.

He’s not just the president. He’s a world renowned Naval Architect. The bestest.
Luv the golden palm tree. Imagine all the gold (or uranium) bars needed in the bilge just to stop it from turning turtle.

I read that Natalie was originally to be left on the decoy plane.
"Donald Trump's 'nappy nurse' had 'meltdown' after being put on different plane to POTUS"
Trump's 'nappy nurse' had 'meltdown' after being put on different plane to POTUS
Trump admitted that he secretly swapped planes as he left a NATO summit in Turkey last month by hiding in a catering truck - and it's now been claimed he wasn't alone on the second plane
Not sure if that was a Secret Service decision.

Those resignations are much likely to be a result of latest jobs, growth, and popularity numbers. People are just as likely to be bailing to avoid the mid-term shitshow, and havng to serve a complete lame duck for two more years. Another contributing factor could be that they actually know how bad his mental and physical state is....

Welcome to the new tyranny...
I've got faith in the power to the States to resist some of the craziness imposed by the Feds though...
Historian Timothy Snyder has spent much of his career studying how democracies unravel. And right now, he believes the U.S. is living through a pivotal moment.
“For me, it’s pretty clear that what has happened in the United States or what is happening is an authoritarian regime change,” Snyder told Katie Couric in the latest episode of her podcast, Next Question. "We have people in power who are doing things which are unprecedented on a national scale."
Snyder later pointed to aggressive gerrymandering, the erosion of voting rights, and the potential for voter intimidation in November as signs of that broader shift. He argued that what distinguishes the current moment from previous periods of authoritarianism in American history is its national scope and its focus on political opposition.
That’s why Snyder, the author of On Tyranny: Twenty Lessons from the Twentieth Century, believes Americans need to think beyond any single election, even as November approaches.
“I see it as a turning point for the history of the United States,” he says, arguing that Americans need to recognize that “the stakes of the election are the republic itself.”
Snyder’s answer is more complicated than simply saying voters aren’t paying attention. He argues that some Americans may recognize the country’s authoritarian drift and welcome it.
“A lot of Americans don’t want democracy, and a lot of Americans don’t like freedom,” Snyder says. “A lot of Americans would like to be told what to do.”
But Snyder sees another, much larger group as potentially persuadable: Americans who believe the political and economic systems are fundamentally unfair but don’t necessarily see strengthening democracy as the solution.
“It’s not that people don’t know something is wrong. They do,” he says. The challenge, he argues, is connecting that dissatisfaction to the idea that the country needs “a more just and a more democratic society.”

Does America recognize what’s happening?
