Manchester, Berlin, Paris, Nice, London, New York: Passports and IDs Mysteriously Discovered in the Wake of Terror Attacks

This article reviews the "mysterious" phenomenon of IDs and Passports of terror suspects routinely discovered (often in the rubble) in the wake of a terrorist attack.
In most cases the alleged suspect was known to the authorities.
Is there a pattern? The ID papers of the suspect are often left behind, discovered by police in the wake of a terrorist attack.
According to government and media reports, the suspects are without exception linked to an Al Qaeda affiliated entity.
None of these terror suspects survived. Dead men do not talk.
In the case of the tragic events in Manchester, the bankcard of the alleged suicide bomber Salman Abedi was found in his pocket in the wake of the explosion.
Legitimacy of the official stories? The UK is both a "victim of terrorism" as well as a "State sponsor of terrorism". Without exception, the governments of Western countries which are victims of terror attacks, have supported, directly or indirectly, the Al Qaeda group of terrorist organizations including the Islamic State (ISIS), which are allegedly responsible for waging these terror attacks. Amply documented Al Qaeda is a creation of the CIA.
Below is a review of the circumstances and evidence pertaining to passports and IDs discovered in the wake of selected terror attacks, with links to Global Research articles and media reports (2001-2017). (This list is by no means exhaustive)

Manchester Attack as MI6 Blowback?

"A bankcard has been conveniently found in the pocket of the … Daesh has claimed responsibility for the Manchester attack, but without …"
No image of the alleged bankcard is available.
Ironically, the suspect Abedi was first identified by Washington rather than UK police and security. How did they know who was the culprit 3 hours after the explosion? According to Graham Vanbergen:
In the early hours of the morning of the 23rd May – approximately 02.35BST NDTV via the Washington Post stated quite categorically that:
"U.S. officials, speaking on the condition of anonymity, identified the assailant as Salman Abedi. They did not provide information about his age or nationality, and British officials declined to comment on the suspect's identity."
This was published at a time when British police and security services were refusing to make any statements as to who they thought the perpetrators were because at the time, they were dealing with the immediate aftermath of the event.

The Berlin Truck Terror Suspect and the Curious Matter of ID Papers Left Behind. By WhoWhatWhy. Global Research, December 22, 2016. Who What Why 21 ….:
The suspect's identity papers were found inside the truck used in Monday's attack on a Christmas market, which left 12 people dead, German security officials said.
The suspect was known to German security services as someone in contact with radical Islamist groups, and had been assessed as posing a risk, Interior Minister of North Rhine-Westphalia Ralf Jaeger told reporters.

Nice, 14th of July Massacre: Towards Martial Law? The Islamic State (ISIS-Daesh) Claims Responsibility?
By Peter Koenig, July 15, 2016
According to Peter Koenig in relation to the Nice terror attack:
During last night's celebration of the French National Holiday, around 11 PM, a speeding truck plowed into a crowd of thousands who were watching the fireworks along the Mediterranean Boulevard Anglais. The driver of the truck, was simultaneously and indiscriminately shooting into the crowd. He was able to run for 2 kilometers before being stopped by police, which instantly shot and killed him.
A horrendous terror attack, killing hordes of people, spreading pain, misery, fear and outrage in France, Europe – the world over.All indications signal the Big Script of yet another false flag; yet again in France.
The young truck-driver was identified as a 31-year-old Frenchman, resident of Nizza, with Tunisian origins. As in previous cases, 'coincidence' has it that his identity papers were found in the truck.
The young man is instantly killed by the police. Dead people cannot talk. A pattern well known by now.
Paris Charlie Hebdo Terror Attack, January 2015
Police found the ID of Said Kouachi at the Scene of the Charlie Hebdo Shooting. Does this Sound Familiar?
By Dr. Paul Craig Roberts, January 10, 2015
"According to news reports, police found the ID of Said Kouachi at the scene of the Charlie Hebdo shooting. Does this sound familiar? Remember, authorities claimed to have found the undamaged passport of one of the alleged 9/11 hijackers among the massive pulverized ruins of the twin towers."

The Paris Terror Attacks and 911: Similar "Evidence" Makes it Suspicious
By Timothy Alexander Guzman, November 20, 2015
The Islamic State (ISIS/ISIL) declared that it was responsible for the latest attacks in Paris as did Al-Qaeda who also claimed responsibility for 911. … However, there are similarities between the terror attacks in Paris and New York City on September 11th.
First, Syrian and Egyptian passports from two of the suicide bombers were found at the scene of the stadium attack in the northern part of the city. After both suspected terrorists detonated their explosive devices, their passports were still found.
This brings us back to the September 11th terror attacks where U.S. officials recovered a passport intact a few blocks from t
he World Trade Center which did belong to one of the hijackers,
Magic Passports Redux: Syrian Passport Allegedly Discovered on Paris Suicide Bomber
By 21st Century Wire, November 14, 2015
In the context of the enquiry about the Paris massacres, a Syrian passport (image right) was found next to one of the kamikaze bombers of Stade de France. After being pointed out as responsible for the attacks by President Hollande, 'the Islamic State' claimed that they had engineered the onslaught. The French executive, that had already stated tht they wanted to take action in Syria allegedly against ISIS, but actually against Bachar El Assad, who 'has to go', sees in this a significant clue that comfort their military expedition.

The 7/7 London Bombings and MI5's "Stepford Four" Operation: How the 2005 London Bombings Turned every Muslim into a "Terror Suspect"
By Karin Brothers, May 26, 2017
On Tuesday, July 12th, Lindsay's wife Samantha Lewthwaite had called police to report her husband Germaine ("Jamal") missing. Police searched their home immediately. The next day, on July 14th, police announced that they had Lindsay's ID and he was the fourth bomber. Lewthwaite was incredulous and refused to believe the accusation without DNA proof. The police identification was stunning because they had been claiming that all of the suspects looked Pakistani; there was no way anyone could mistake the big, black Lindsay for an Asian. What had police been looking at?

9/11 Contradictions: Mohamed Atta's Mitsubishi and His Luggage
By David Ray Griffin, May 09, 2008
9/11 Contradictions: Mohamed Atta's Mitsubishi and His Luggage … It also contained a Saudi passport, an international driver's license, …
"In the official version for 9/11 the FBI claimed that they found the unscathed passport of one of the pilots near one of the towers that were reduced to ashes by explosions whose heat melted even the steel columns in the buildings' structure. The fourth plane's crash near Shanksville also yielded a passport which, though scorched, still made it possible to read the person's first name and surname and to see his ID photo. This is all the more disturbing as nothing at all was left in the crater, no part of the plane or of the people travelling in it, only this partly scorched passport.
Confirmed by Dan Rather CBS News, "a passerby found the passport of one of the hijackers" on the street just hours after the 9/11 attacks. (Video at 1′.23″)
According to Who What Why:
The Visa of Satam al-Suqami: This identify document of one of the alleged 9/11 hijackers somehow survived unscathed a few blocks from the twin towers, though the plane itself was virtually obliterated.
Visa belonging to Satam al-Suqami
The Passports belonging to Ziad Jarrah and Saeed al-Ghamdi: The passports of two alleged hijackers of United Airlines Flight 93 supposedly survived the fiery crash in Pennsylvania that left the aircraft itself charred and widely scattered—with one passport entirely intact.
Remains of Ziad Jarrah's visa.
Passport of Saeed al-Ghamdi
Food for thought?
Can we believe the official narrative of HM government?
No questions asked. Can we believe the Western media?

This phenomenon is self evident. Just thought I'd show my age and do the 'old skool' thing.
Can't say how far this type of lie goes back, however, I can say the same was reported at Lockerbie (plane bombing) in Scotland in 1988.
It seems the old lies are the best ones.

Q: C# - Implementing a private class with two public interfaces, then casting to both of them? Bad idea? Is this considered a good idea? Type casting the same class to two different interfaces it implements. I think it's a good idea .. but am not sure.
public interface Abc
{
    int xyz { get; }
}

public interface Xyz
{
    int abc { get; }
}

internal class MyClass : Abc, Xyz
{

    public int xyz
    {
        get
        {
            return 0;
        }
    }

    public int abc
    {
        get
        {
            return 1;
        }
    }
}

        var myclass = new MyClass();

        var abc = myclass as Abc;
        var xyz = myclass as Xyz;

A: If it implements the interface, you will not need to cast it.
Use the properties from the interface.

A: I think this is one of the reasons, why interfaces got introduced. When using interface, in the end, you don't care about which concrete class implements it, as long as it implements this interface correctly.
Also, you don't need to cast. The assignment of class implementing interface and variable of this interface is implicit.

A: Yes it is a good idea, especially if your classes are fulfilling different roles.  Abc and Xyz may not be the best examples but something like ICanValidate, IHaveDefault, IHaveAnEngine, etc. may be better :)
Where such a design shines is when certain functionality is optional.  Take the ICanValidate example: somewhere in your persistence pipeline you safe cast your entity to ICanValidate.  If it returns null then you ignore it; however, if it returns the interface you can call entity.IsValid().
Just a note on casting.  Some answers have stated that you don't need to cast when an interface is implemented.  This is true for implicit implementation --- for explicit implimentation you will require casting.  But I guess that would be rather obvious :)

A: There is no question about good or bad to type casting,
For ex. List is implementing IList and IEnumerable.
when iteration is required on list IEnumerable is used,
and when list operation (like Add item ) need to be performed IList need to be used.
so it depends on functionality (from which interface) you need.
Also you do not need CASTING when interface is implemented by class.

A: First of all. If you want others to use your code you should really follow the Design Guidelines for Developing Class Libraries. It looks like you are using naming guidelines used in Java.
The only reason to make something internal is to prevent others from creating the class. It's still possible though using reflection. Other than that, theres no reason. If you do not want others to extend your class, simply make it sealed. But you should have a really good reason for that too.
Finally there is nothing wrong with your approach looking from a usage perspective. No code should care how the interface implementation looks like or how protected it is. Each user should only care in that it has an instance to an interface implementation.

Big data brings bright future to Canadian mill town
By Karen Graham Jun 18, 2018 in Technology
The Village of Canal Flats, located at the southern end of Columbia Lake in British Columbia, Canada is about to transition from being a mill town into a technology hub with the addition of the Columbia Lake Technology Centre.
On June 12, the co-founders of the Columbia Lake Technology Centre announced their plans to turn the site where the Canfor sawmill once stood into a high-tech data hub and training centre.
The Canfor sawmill shut down in November 2015, putting about 75 people out of work in the small community. Then, in 2017, Brian Fehr, the chairman and managing director of the multinational forestry-sector corporation BID Group, purchased the 405 hectares (1,001 acres) site as a personal investment.
Fehr co-founded BID Group in 1983, helping to establish the company as a premier design, manufacturing, construction and project management organization. The company also moved into the creation of automated systems for the industry.
Village of Canal Flats
Expanding on the technology
Local entrepreneur Brian Fry says the success of BID's technology brought about a reduction in the number of mills needed, as well as the number of jobs. Fehr saw an opportunity to create new jobs, reports CBC Canada.
Fry was the co-owner of the Kelowna-based RackForce, Canada's largest Enterprise Cloud Service Provider, providing its services nationally and globally. RackForce was acquired by Terago Networks for $33 million in March 2015.
Fry is also the co-founder of i4C in Trail, BC, Canada. Its mandate is the recruitment of early stage Industry 4.0-related companies that want to run their R&D, light fabrication, commercialization and/or distribution from a highly strategically located facility in North America.
#CanalFlatsBC welcomed the evolution of the former Canfor mill site, now called the Columbia Lake Technology Center.#ColumbiaLakeTechnologyCenter #canalflats #welivehereandloveit #ColumbiaValleyBC #itstimetounwind #CED #EcDev #Techjobs #WorkLifeBalance #datacenters #CLTC pic.twitter.com/LitAz6deke
— Columbia Valley CED (@CVCEDO) June 13, 2018
Both Fry and Fehr envision seeing data centres, greenhouses to take advantage of the heat produced by the centres, training facilities, technical training programs and more. And the size of the Canal Flats property will provide plenty of space to build large computer servers to process massive amounts of data.
Fry cites the rise in automated vehicles, artificial intelligence, and digital currency as fueling the need for large banks of servers today, adding that the site has "lots of power already available and a fiber optic network that will make the centre "as connected as anywhere in the world."
"The idea is to make it so exciting that people that wouldn't traditionally think of a rural area as a place to go will come here," says Fry. "They might have a long history in the technology industry but they actually need a place to go."
Canal Flats has a rich history
Canal Flats was originally named McGillivray's Portage by David Thompson, who just happened to pass through the area in 1808. But the town's name suits it, especially when you know the history behind the name.
Lock construction for canal at Canal Flats, British Columbia, 1888.
British Columbia Provincial Archives digital collections image C-04285
In the 1880s, English/Austrian entrepreneur William Adolf Baillie-Grohman had a grand scheme to divert water from the upper Kootenay River into the Columbia system, lowering the level of Kootenay Lake to reclaim the 48,000-acres of rich land in the Creston area.
He figured a canal would open up a north-south navigational system from Golden to Montana, in the United States. Trouble came in the form of pressure from the Canadian Pacific Railways. They were concerned about the Columbia River crossings, while settlers in Golden feared their lands would be flooded.
Baillie-Grohman had to settle with building his shipping canal between the headwaters of the Columbia River and the upper Kootenay River in the East Kootenay region of British Columbia. And in 1898, he declared the canal was finished, and apparently, open for business.
North Star on Columbia River, in British Columbia, ca 1902.

Sadly, the expensive business venture was a failure because the canal was only used three times. Actually, it as worse than that.
After Baillie-Grohman got permission from the provincial government to build his canal, he didn't bother dredging or preparing the approaches to the canal and its lock, and from the get-go, things did not go well.
The end of the canal came in 1902 when the vessel North Star used the canal. It took a month to move North Star through the sloughed-in canal. Among other problems, North Star was 130 feet long, 30 feet longer than the lock.The captain of the North Star solved that problem by dynamiting the lock.
However, Baillie-Grohman can be credited with building the first store and post office in the community as well as the first steam sawmill in the valley, the start of the lumber industry that put Canal Flats on the map.

Client Update: iApotheca on Next Gen Den!
Spark Centre client, iApotheca recently appeared on an episode of CBC's Next Gen Den, which is Dragons' Den for an online world. Shorter and made for mobile, Next Gen Den is a launching pad for young entrepreneurs, pitching startups and early-stage businesses to the next generation of Dragons. We talked to Spencer Turbitt, CEO & Co-Founder of iApotheca Healthcare to talk about his experience pitching his pharmacy software solution to the Dragon's.
iApotheca Healthcare is software for pharmacies and nursing homes. Right now it comes in three different sections of modules. The first is a Compliance Tool which helps reduce the risk pharmacies have in keeping and following all procedures and policies that the different regulatory boards in Canada put it place for them. It digitalizes these policies and procedures and it allows managers and owners of the pharmacies to see reports of who has and hasn't confirmed that they have read new policies online. This tool also allows you to share the information across many pharmacy locations. The second is Incident Tracking which allows you to create different categories of incidents such as a delivery or dispensing. The module can track these incidents on a monthly basis or a yearly basis and reduce them over time. It has shown to reduce incidents by approximately 50% through a series of tests. The Incident Tracking module also digitalizes the process of narcotic drug destruction. The third module is iApotheca Workflow Module which monitors things like delivery orders and medication changes for med pouches and blister packs. We also offer an accounting suite for pharmacies which will eliminate the pharmacies having to use a separate interface.
Why did you start iApotheca?
We started iApotheca because we were working on different software solutions for businesses and quickly realized we couldn't compete with the big guys like Salesforce and NetSuite. We decided to focus on a specific area that we knew. One of our partners and myself both have had family that was in pharmacy so we had a lot of information and background on it. Also, with all of the baby boomers continuing to retire over the next few years, the Government is putting more and more pressure on pharmacies by reducing drug costs which makes the pharmacies work hard for every dollar. They don't necessarily have the money to fund big software programs like a larger chain would. We wanted to give independent pharmacies the ability to have the same or even better software available to them.
How did you get on Next Gen Den?
We applied to be on Dragon's Den a year ago for a different idea and concept that we had. After applying online, we were called to do an interview in front of producers. We pitched to a producer who loved our idea and said he would recommend us for the Dragon's Den student special and was very confident that we had a great chance of appearing on the show. After that, we unfortunately didn't hear back. Fast forward to this year and we received a call from the Next Gen Den producers who were going through some old material and thought we would be great for the show as the new dragons were making riskier deals with newer companies. We told them that the original idea was a previous concept and that we are doing something new now that's getting traction. After pitching the idea of iApotheca Healthcare, they thought it would be perfect for the show and invited us to film an episode.
Tell me about your experience appearing on Next Gen Den?
When we arrived, they had everyone gather in one room outside of the studio with the other companies who are pitching. Everyone is assigned a producer who is there to keep you informed of what's going to happen, what to do and what to expect. About 15-20 minutes before your pitch, they take you to hair and make-up. Then from there they take you to film a clip of a few words about the company which ends up being a teaser before your pitch airs. When you walk in, you start speaking right away. A lot of people ask how many takes you have to do your pitch and you only do have one chance. If you make a fool of yourself or make your business look badly, they're going to use that because its funny and its for television. We were in there for over 20 minutes but they of course edit it down to fit it into the episode. We pitched for about 3 minutes and then a demo of the software and then the dragons ask questions.
What happens now? What's the future for iApotheca?
There's a due diligence process and we have to negotiate on some things with the Dragon's. We aren't sure what direction it's going to go in the future but the great news is that we have a lot more traction for iApotheca now after appearing on the show. We're about to go into a number of pharmacies and also have interest from large organizations with a large number of pharmacies who are interested in bringing iApotheca Healthcare on board so I'm looking forward to seeing where we are six months from now.
How do you think Spark Centre has helped you along the way?
The #1 way they have helped was their facilitation of the Ignite Durham competition. They taught us how to pitch and how to get up in front of an audience. We made it to the second round so we were able to do our three minute pitch in front of a larger audience of almost 200 people. One of the most important things was learning about the different areas of a pitch; the revenue, the monetization model, the features, problems, solution, everything was a huge help. Before Ignite, I didn't have any experience pitching to potential investors and it was a huge help for appearing on Dragon's Den and other investor pitches that we have done since. Learning that from the Spark Centre made it very easy and in a matter of a couple hours, I had a pitch ready for our appearance on the Den!
Do you have any advice for other entrepreneurs who want to appear on Next Gen Den or Dragon's Den?
The #1 advice I would give is know your numbers! If they're not simple enough for the Dragon's to understand what your revenue will be or if things don't add up, they won't spend the time trying to make them add up. If you don't lay everything out clearly, they're not going to be interested. You have to make it make sense!

That's why I was surprised to be, well, surprised by the Tiko, a Canadian 3D printer that will hit Kickstarter next week. The Tiko is a delta printer, which means its body is shaped like a triangle instead of a rectangle. It has a sleek, unibody design. And it will cost $179.
In case you haven't been playing along at home, that's peanuts in a market where lots of 3D printers will set you back $400 or more.
I saw the Tiko in action at the SXSW conference, where it was hard at work pumping out blue trinkets. CEO Matt Gajkowski said he designed the printer with mass production in mind, meaning every part can be made on standard equipment. That bodes well for crowdfunding backers, who often have to wait months for delayed 3D printer deliveries. The Tiko is slated to ship this fall.

TVS has thoroughly updated the RTR 160, but how does it compare against Honda's new X-Blade 160 and Bajaj's NS160?
The TVS Apache RTR 160 4V has just debuted with a number of impressive specifications. The Apache RTR 160 used to exist at the lower section of the 160 segment, but this update has made it a more premium machine. In this spec comparison, we're going to compare the TVS with the two other latest entrants in the 160cc segment – the Honda X-Blade 160 and the Bajaj Pulsar NS 160. Here is how the three compare on paper.
The RTR 160's overall styling is heavily inspired from the RTR 200; it features a similar tank, headlight, tail-light, instrumentation and even turn-indicators. The RTR 160 also features a similar 'shotgun' exhaust design. On the other hand, Honda has positioned the X-Blade to attract youngsters and millennials, and for this purpose, it has adopted a very aggressive design language. The basic silhouette is reminiscent of the Honda CB Hornet 160R, but the company's designers have given it sharper panels to increase its visual appeal. Like the X-Blade, the Bajaj Pulsar NS160 also shares the style of its bigger brother, the NS200, and that means handsome lines, an underslung exhaust and split grab rails. Honda's X-blade however, is the only bike in its segment to feature an all-LED headlight.
TVS didn't shy awake from making it evident that its newest bike, the Apache RTR 160 4V has segment-leading power figures. The 159.7cc oil-cooled motor makes an impressive 16.8hp on the fuel-injected model (16.5hp on the carburettor model) and 14.8Nm of torque (on both models). This gives it a power to weight ratio of 115.38hp/tonne on the carburetted rear drum variant and 114.28hp/tonne on the heavier, fuel injected/ rear disc variant. This is where Honda's new X-Blade 160 loses out the most; the Honda's 162.7cc motor only produces 13.9hp and 13.9Nm of torque, resulting in the lowest power to weight ratio (99.28hp/tonne) of the three. The 15.5hp/14.6Nm NS160 fares quite well in this comparison; it manages to come in closely behind the RTR 160 4V with a power to weight ratio of 109.15hp/tonne. Of the three, the Honda gets only two valves per cylinder, while both the TVS and Bajaj feature four valves per cylinder.
This is where all three motorcycles are quite similar; all three feature a conventional front fork and a monoshock at the rear. Handling braking duties on all three bikes is a disc up front and a drum at the rear, however, the RTR 160 can be optioned with a rear disc. All three motorcycles miss out on ABS. The similarities don't end there; all three bikes have an identical fuel tank capacity of 12 litres. They are also very close in terms of weight; the X-Blade is the lightest at 140kg, followed by the NS160 at 142kg. The Apache RTR 160 is the heaviest at 143kg/145kg/147kg decided by the variant of choice. The Apache has the highest ground clearance of 180mm, which is closely followed by the NS160 at 176mm. The X-Blade sits considerably lower at 160mm. In an unusual twist, if you opt for an RTR 160 with a rear drum brake, you'll get a slimmer 110/80-17 section tyre, whereas rear disc models come equipped with a 130/70-17 rear tyre.
All three motorcycles are priced closely, within a few thousands of each other. The most affordable one here is the Honda X-Blade 160 at Rs 78,500. The Apache RTR 160 4V will set you back Rs 81,490 (carb with front disc) or Rs 84,490 (carb with front and rear disc) or Rs 89,990 (fuel-injected with front and rear disc). The Bajaj Pulsar NS160 is priced very closely to the base variant of the Apache at Rs 81,626 (all prices ex-showroom Delhi). Which one of these bikes presents the best deal? Let us know what you think in the comments below.


Join us for a walkabout happening at the KZNSA Gallery at 11am on Saturday 28 may. Participating photographers will be conducting interested parties around the exhibition. As usual, all are welcome and there is no charge.

TerrAscend Announces Management Changes | The Daily Marijuana Observer
https://cannabisexaminers.com/wp-content/uploads/2020/04/ceo-4202652_1920.jpg
TORONTO, April 14, 2020 /CNW/ – TerrAscend Corp. (CSE: TER; OTCQX: TRSSF) ("TerrAscend" or "the Company"), a leading North American cannabis operator, announced today that it has appointed Jason Ackerman as Chief Executive Officer ("CEO"). The Company will also relocate its financial operations to its U.S. headquarters in New York City. As part of the move, Toronto-based Adam Kozak will step down as Chief Financial Officer ("CFO"), and New York-based company comptroller, Dr. Stephen Baranowski, will assume the role of interim CFO at the end of April. This comes as TerrAscend continues to build out its U.S. based leadership and operations teams and focuses on its growing footprint and opportunity in the rapidly expanding U.S. market.
Mr. Ackerman joined the TerrAscend Board of Directors as Executive Chairman in November 2019 and was appointed interim CEO in January 2020. Prior to joining TerrAscend, Mr. Ackerman pioneered the development of the online grocery industry. In his 18 years at the helm of FreshDirect, he built the business from the ground up, organically growing the company to over $600 million in annual sales operating in seven states. He is well-versed in omnichannel retail strategy, as well as business operations, logistics and digital transformation. He is a Senior Advisor for the Boston Consulting Group and on the advisory board of The Naked Market and Hart Dairy.
"Since joining TerrAscend, Jason has brought a renewed focus on operational excellence," said Jason Wild, Chairman of TerrAscend. "Jason's deep retail, distribution and operations experience is second to none and his oversight of our operating divisions has aligned our team in pursuing financially prudent, high-growth opportunities. We are thrilled to have him transition into this leadership role permanently as we continue to build North America's leading cannabis company."
"I am energized by the opportunity to shed the interim label and continue to lead this organization as CEO. I believe TerrAscend has best-in-class assets and a talented team that uniquely positions us to capitalize on the opportunities ahead," said Jason Ackerman Chief Executive Officer. "I have a deep respect for all the work that has taken place to develop the current U.S. footprint, and I look forward to working closely with the Board, members of our management team, and all employees as we deliver exceptional results for our customers and shareholders."
Adam Kozak joined TerrAscend in 2018 and led the Company through several of its recent milestones, including the successful completion of TerrAscend's capital reorganization in partnership with Canopy Rivers and Canopy Growth that laid the foundation for allowing the Company to enter into the U.S. market and become a leading North American operator. Additionally, he structured three successful acquisitions, adding top-quality brands and best-in-class retail outlets to TerrAscend's portfolio, including Funky Farms, Ilera, and The Apothecarium.
Wild added, "On behalf of the whole team, we want to thank Adam Kozak for his many contributions during his tenure as CFO. Adam's work facilitated our successful U.S. expansion and has positioned TerrAscend to continue to execute on the significant growth opportunity ahead."
Adam Kozak added, "I am extremely proud of all that we have accomplished as a team at TerrAscend, and as we deepen our commitment to the U.S. market now is the right time to take the next step in further aligning our operations. Led by Jason Wild and Jason Ackerman, TerrAscend is a company with great vision. They are innovative, agile and are uniquely positioned to lead the U.S. market. I am committed to helping the company during this transition period and look forward to the team's continued success."
The Company has retained an external executive search firm to fill the NYC-based CFO position. To ensure a smooth transition, Adam Kozak will stay on with TerrAscend through the end of April. At that time, Dr. Baranowski will commence his role as interim CFO.
The Canadian Securities Exchange ("CSE") has neither approved nor disapproved the contents of this news release. Neither the CSE nor its Market Regulator (as that term is defined in the policies of the CSE) accepts responsibility for the adequacy or accuracy of this release.
About TerrAscend

Caution Regarding Cannabis Operations in the United States
Investors should note that there are significant legal restrictions and regulations that govern the cannabis industry in the United States. Cannabis remains a Schedule I drug under the US Controlled Substances Act, making it illegal under federal law in the United States to, among other things, cultivate, distribute or possess cannabis in the United States. Financial transactions involving proceeds generated by, or intended to promote, cannabis-related business activities in the United States may form the basis for prosecution under applicable US federal money laundering legislation.
While the approach to enforcement of such laws by the federal government in the United States has trended toward non-enforcement against individuals and businesses that comply with medical or adult-use cannabis programs in states where such programs are legal, strict compliance with state laws with respect to cannabis will neither absolve TerrAscend of liability under US federal law, nor will it provide a defense to any federal proceeding which may be brought against TerrAscend. The enforcement of federal laws in the United States is a significant risk to the business of TerrAscend and any proceedings brought against TerrAscend thereunder may adversely affect TerrAscend's operations and financial performance.

History of DeRidder
The Story of Deridder Goes Something Like This
DeRidder was named for Ella de Ridder, the sister-in-law of a Dutch railroad financier. Her family originally came from the small town of Geldermalsen in the Netherlands where she was one of thirteen children. She ran away from home at an early age and was presumed dead by her family who only recently discovered that she had traveled to the United States. The town was named for her by her brother-in-law who brought the first railroad to Southwest Louisiana.
Prior to that, the little town was known as Schoval. The Dutch-financed train line to DeRidder came in 1902. It was the Pittsburgh and Gulf Railroad. It was later called the Kansas City Southern.
DeRidder Enterprise
The July 26, 1924 DeRidder Enterprise stated: "The first house in DeRidder was made of logs and covered with board shingles, split by hand from the logs of the forest. It was constructed in 1893 and was the old homestead house of Calvin Shirley, who was the original owner of the land upon which the first business house and residence of DeRidder were built. Mr. Shirley homesteaded the 160 acres (0.65 km2) which was later platted and became the original town-site of DeRidder."
Eva Stewart Frazar
According to Eva Stewart Frazar, whose family came to DeRidder near the turn of the century, "The largest pine in the world grew where DeRidder now stands - or so it is claimed by timber men who knew."
About the origin of the town, she says, "...the Kansas City railroad was built from Kansas City to Port Arthur - and came right through here about 1896. By 1898 the trains were running. The post-office was named Miersburg for the postmaster whose name was Miers. The railroad workers had used this spot for a camping place for the workmen - and people wanted to get near the railroad - so 160 acres (0.65 km2) of land was bought for the town site."
"Immediately following the purchase of the town site, a ramble of rough houses were hurriedly built out of rough lumber... By 1898 the town consisted of nearly 300 people and a number of shack homes and a sawmill. C. Landry and Mr. George Heard had a hotel. There were about 5 small stores, besides. West Brothers had a Rous Racket store on the east side of the track."
By this time DeRidder had a sawmill, and timber was the prime industry of the area. The Longleaf Pine was the primary tree used in the industry. In 1903, DeRidder was finally incorporated as a town.
