Sergetalks Blog ~ The Official Blog of Serge LeClerc

It was the 1960s, and I was about eighteen when a group of men approached me. The spokesperson was named Ian.

“I work with a man in California named Dr. Timothy Leary,” he said. “Dr. Leary has come up with the chemical formula for manufacturing ‘acid’—LSD. I know how to do that, and I want to set up some laboratories in Canada.

“You have plenty of contacts and a really good enterprise going,” he continued. “You’re the man, Serge. We know all about you. You control a large part of Toronto—all the West End and a good part of the East End. Between your alcohol and fencing all your stolen goods, you have an impressive distribution network. What if I give you another product?” (more…)

But he puts even more responsibility on churches. “Go find a Christian church that will be Christian,” he said. He talked about a community that had asked him to speak. LeClerc “We, our generation, give our kids and grandkids more than we ever had. They don’t pay rent. They don’t buy their stuff. They have the highest disposable income of any group. And they have become a target market for advertisers, starting at 11. We don’t do anything about it. We raise our kids and our grandkids on TV. Kids have televisions and computers in their rooms. We took our kids’ minds and gave them away. Something is wrong when we let technology abscond with the the role of parents. Take a stand. Do something,” Serge LeClerc, MLA, author, motivational speaker and former drug lord told Foam Lake’s adults following a potluck supper on January 8.

The end result, LeClerc said, is that our kids are making some seriously wrong, life-threatening choices. (more…)

“The secret of life,” Serge LeClerc said in Foam Lake recently, “is not the choice you make. It’s the choices you do not make.”

LeClerc would know. It was a choice that he did not make – to stay at school one Friday afternoon – that led to a brutally abusive training centre, crime, drug addiction, and, eventually, life as one of Canada’s major drug lords. Another choice he rejected allowed him to turn his life around.

LeClerc, now a Saskatchewan MLA, is the son of a Cree mother who was raped at 14. Unable to read or write, living in Toronto, she worked two dishwashing jobs with Sunday off. . “She was a very strong Christian who gave me a set of guidelines and an ethical certainty that I could follow. My identify was framed by the kids in the inner city who didn’t want to fight me because I was a talented boxer. I had talent, and I had mother’s faith.” (more…)

Ethyl alcohol’ or ‘ethanol’ is the principle ‘chemical’ within an alcohol drink that causes the impact upon the body and brain to produce the feeling of being ‘drunk’, and which causes the damage to the brain of a developing foetus within the mother’s womb. It is this chemical/poison which the European throughout thousands of years began to develop a resistance to which has limited the damage to their bodies, and to their off-spring who now occupy North America. Nonetheless, the damage we see today to a person’s body as the result of chronic drinking is startling but would be far greater if those bodies did not develop some ‘adaption factor’ through genetic strengthening of the body by inter-generational usage.

On this note, insert the Aboriginal body which never consumed alcohol until the European came to North America. They had no immune system build up to the ethanol; much as they had no immune system familiarity to the ‘Small Pox’ or ‘Flu’ virus which proceeded to decimate the First nation population in epidemic like fashion within short order. They of course, after exposure to the virus’s, did build a resistance to them within their immune system similar to the European who brought it with them. Unfortunately, the same can not be said to the alcohol epidemic now running plague like throughout the First Nations of North America as thousands of years will be needed to build the same resistance to the poison within alcohol – and the damage to the Aboriginal body is horrendous.
