I hadn’t wanted to post this entire conversation online. But it appears that OPP Det. Yvan Godin and his Kirkland Lake OPP Val-D’or Mafia cover up buddies aren’t going to learn their lesson until I do. Some of it is a little dry. It all builds up to the end when “Retired Teacher” states: “wish u would have waited…I had arranged with Xxxx’s nephew to go in to the detachment when he finished his course…he is with the OPP here in town…now u have probably gotten me in trouble for no reason…” after telling me that he was going to seek out his friends in the “mob in Val-D’or.” Have a great day all! 🙂 I would be happy to publish your formal, written apology anytime Yvan.

Retired Teacher

2/2, 6:35pm

Retired Teacher

2/2, 6:36pm

Retired Teacher

2/2, 6:37pm

Stephen Sinclair

2/2, 6:38pm

Retired Teacher

2/2, 6:39pm

Stephen Sinclair

2/2, 6:39pm

Retired Teacher

2/2, 6:40pm

Stephen Sinclair

I really don’t want you to make any changes at all XXX

he will know

2/2, 6:42pm

Retired Teacher

i can do that for u..all shifts are important to me…i do not really care what he knows..we have already discussed with Xxxxx that we want to p;ut a driver on from 12 to 10 and XXXXX is doing that now but there are rumors that she is finding it hard to do beer deliveries and may go back to Royal…so we would need someone to take that shift

2/2, 6:42pm

Stephen Sinclair

i care what he knows

very much

he is very good friends with police in this town

and other people too

2/2, 6:43pm

Retired Teacher

do not fret over that….has he threatened u in any way…i will not tolerate that

2/2, 6:43pm

Stephen Sinclair

he wouldn’t ever do that

i know that he’s not that stupid

2/2, 6:44pm

Retired Teacher

i am also friends with the cops…helped them out a lot when i had my store…

2/2, 6:44pm

Stephen Sinclair

i’m more worried about him planting drugs in my cab or something like that

and I could see the coops being in on it with him

2/2, 6:45pm

Retired Teacher

I am aware that he is tight with Len Tickner and am monitoring that as we speak…do not have my head buried in the sand

2/2, 6:45pm

Stephen Sinclair

yes XXX I appreciate that

but if i’m caught at the side of the road\

it won’t help much

2/2, 6:46pm

Retired Teacher

just make sure ur car is locked when u leave it…and we can check it before u take it out…

2/2, 6:47pm

Stephen Sinclair

i shouldn’t have to deal with this

its not worth it

i should be able to trust my dispatcher

and i’m terrified of him

and his friends

if they want to do me

2/2, 6:48pm

Retired Teacher

u tell me which direction u want to go with this…and i will support u without his knowledge…i have dealt with the shitheads dealing drugs before and can do it again…if i get proof that he is using us to deal…i will rat him out myself

2/2, 6:48pm

Stephen Sinclair

2/2, 6:52pm

Retired Teacher

2/2, 6:52pm

Stephen Sinclair

but really, in the end, I’m doing it for you too

you deserve to know

i was really just using that as an example XXX

there are an entire garden of tricks they could play on me

Greg would like to see me out of there

and I’m sure he wants me to quit

it would be much easier for him there each night if I wasn’t there

2/2, 6:53pm

Retired Teacher

2/2, 6:53pm

Retired Teacher

in between him having these conversations on the phone

i dont see their interaction

but then they go

but it’s not non stop

he’ll go some nights with little activity

then other nights

its crazy

2/2, 6:59pm

Retired Teacher

we are aware of that….he has no money but always orders food in ….his pay is always owed to us …we do not know how he can manage that…..we have doubted him for a while…

i have ways to deal with him and xxxx…u do not have to involve anyone…i can take care of it….have bigger guns than they have

2/2, 7:01pm

Stephen Sinclair

I know you can handle it XXX.

I wish I didn`t have to tell you this stuff.

2/2, 7:02pm

2/2, 7:13pm

Stephen Sinclair

you know XXX I am very impressed with what you`ve done with City

I`m incredibly impressed with the vehicles

and your ability to attract the drivers

Marcel or Kevin woudn`t have been able to do what you`ve done

2/2, 7:14pm

Retired Teacher

actually i will enjoy the challenge…need that kind of stuff to keep my heart beating…i will continue to improve the vehicles as long as i have the support of the drivers

i need people like u to support me and take care or ur cars so we can all make a good living….

i do not believe at critisizing people but getting them to get on board to make us the best…taxi driving is a great profession…we are not bums

u drivers do not really know me…but i have achieved much in my long life and did not hesitate to take on the challenge of running a stand without any experience…but i am inspired to make this work…

2/2, 7:19pm

Stephen Sinclair

you don`t really know this

but when I first came to City I owned my own cab

just like Steph

I washed it every day

I vacuumed it every day

I worked on the body to make it perfect

but I had a disagreement with Marcel

when I came to city they told me `no brokers

`so i put on a smile

and starting as a driver

and for a long time

i washed my car every day

and vacuumed it everyday

and it seemed to beother people

2/2, 7:20pm

Retired Teacher

i know that…was told….Xxxx had a bump with the van today and he was hesitant to tell us but whn he did…we just laughed it off…metal can be fixed…

2/2, 7:21pm

Stephen Sinclair

they tried to make up ways that I wasn`t really dont a good job

2/2, 7:21pm

Retired Teacher

i will embrace brokers….we want to grow…

2/2, 7:21pm

Stephen Sinclair

2/2, 7:21pm

Retired Teacher

i would love to have all brokers in the stand

2/2, 7:22pm

Stephen Sinclair

I have a perfect driving record and connections with a great insurance agent

but right at this moment

it`s not what I want to do

2/2, 7:22pm

Retired Teacher

if u want to put a car on let me know…i am a patient man

2/2, 7:23pm

Stephen Sinclair

thanks XXX, I will. Definitely something to think about.

2/2, 7:24pm

Retired Teacher

i have already told Step that he can us my account for parts for his van and he is now transferring his licence over to us cuz the insurance co. witll not take Dave…i am willing to help anyone who wants to help himself

have told dispatchers that brokers go in rotation just like our drivers…they better do as i say or else

i am like teddy roosevelt …walk softly but carry a big stick…lol

2/2, 7:26pm

Stephen Sinclair

I`m really happy with my schedule right now and just working as a driver. It`s all worked out pretty well, because my books are still selling and I really think they might have a shot. If not the ones I`ve already published my new ones

2/2, 7:27pm

Retired Teacher

thanks to our conversation i was able to get a good deal with Steph .

2/2, 7:27pm

2/2, 7:28pm

Retired Teacher

2/2, 7:31pm

Stephen Sinclair

XXX is a good driver. I don`t mind picking up the slack from the deliveries he refuses

2/2, 7:31pm

Retired Teacher

i know he has applied to coop but they do not want him…keeping that info in my back pocket for now

2/2, 7:32pm

Stephen Sinclair

he`s and dumb old crotcity man

but he does get quite a few personals

2/2, 7:32pm

Retired Teacher

i think he lacks social skills

2/2, 7:32pm

Stephen Sinclair

he should act better

but I have no problems with XXX

2/2, 7:32pm

Retired Teacher

2/2, 7:33pm

Stephen Sinclair

I do too

I make an effort to talk to him every day

2/2, 7:34pm

Retired Teacher

that is good..i know he gives u a bad time…but am trying to get him on my side…i am patient…

2/2, 7:34pm

Stephen Sinclair

he`s actually really good with me XXX

2/2, 7:40pm

Stephen Sinclair

February 8, 2012

2/8, 12:01am

Stephen Sinclair

Hi XXX, about 15 min ago he made a deal on the stand phone and told someone, “That he would hold onto two for him and that he was only going to charge him 15 each and that he’ll really bed happy with it.” Now there’s a guy here visiting him. I hate doing this XXX, but I don’t know what else to do. Also, Greg and XXXXX have this little game where they say to each other, “you’re fat” over the radio to each other. This could be really offensive to some our customers XXX, they shouldn’t have to listen to that.

Have a good night XXX, Steve

February 8, 2012

2/8, 7:43am

Retired Teacher

thanks Steve….just hang in there…

February 8, 2012

2/8, 8:07pm

Retired Teacher

thi steve..took care of the fat man thing…said i heard it on my scanner…am working on the other thing…

2/8, 8:09pm

Retired Teacher

royal is shutting down on friday..he called me today to ask for a job..will not happen..asked me to answer our phones City Royal for the next month..what would be the reason for that..said he would transfer his phones to ring at our place…think he is working a scam ….we think we have the cabo account secured…so do not need him..he is drunk most of the time…what are ur thoughts on this

2/8, 8:10pm

Retired Teacher

he must have some dispatchers we can take..do not want hueston or the broad with shadow…anyone else …to replace greg

think by dumping Greg we may solve part of the drug problem..

2/8, 8:19pm

Stephen Sinclair

Hi XXX, wow, that`s something about Royal. I don`t know too much about the dispatchers at Royal. But there could be a few good ones there. A very good dispatcher, on the night shift, is Ron Kelley from Co-Op taxi. I don`t know if he would ever leave Marcel though, I doublt it. All of Co-ops dispatchers are excellent.

2/8, 8:22pm

Retired Teacher

ok thanks for th intel…anyway things are looking up…ordered 2 more Buicks from my dealer in Ottawa…they will be used for out of town if we get the Cabo account…do not want any guys stranded on the road

2/8, 8:22pm

Stephen Sinclair

wow right on XXX, sounds good. that`s a big account for sure smile emoticon

2/8, 8:23pm

Retired Teacher

Retired Teacher

2/8, 8:25pm

Stephen Sinclair

I`m a pretty light driver

2/8, 8:25pm

Retired Teacher

together we will build a great taxi company..that is my goal and u are part of it…glad u had a great card the other night…

2/8, 8:25pm

Stephen Sinclair

the weeknight business continues to surprise me

it has to be 50% higher than last year

and it`s kept going right through the winter

2/8, 8:26pm

Retired Teacher

it is growing but the money is not there…am looking into that

think we have a cartel in the stand..may have to clean house

2/8, 8:27pm

Stephen Sinclair

i don`t know what`s going on there XXX

I don`t know there guys, just the stuff I`ve told you about

i`ve never seen that kind of stuff at cab stands anywhere

2/8, 8:28pm

Retired Teacher

we will find out…have been talking to a cop that i can trust….

there will be something done…i am anti drug…for 150 percent

looking at cell phone tracking…but need a warrant..working on that as we speak…

my only fear is that Xxxxx may be involved…hope she is not as she is vital to the operation

2/8, 8:31pm

Stephen Sinclair

I really don`t think Xxxxx is XXX

and even though Xxxx was involved with things I saw

Greg was definitely running the show

2/8, 8:31pm

Retired Teacher

ur name willnever be involved..be assured of that..i consider u a good friend and will protect u at all costs..

I am not without sources and friends from my previous business in town

and I do not fear the biker connection…I have bigger guns..

2/8, 8:33pm

Stephen Sinclair

I`m not scared either. I know what you`re doing is right and that you can take of it smile emoticon

2/8, 8:35pm

Retired Teacher

i will take care of it…never fear…i am not afraid of greg or his buddies….

i will get a warrant for the cell phones and they will go down…my reputation is very dear to me..the guilty will be done in

2/8, 8:38pm

Stephen Sinclair

I feel bad for Greg. He could do better with his life.

2/8, 8:38pm

Retired Teacher

ok will go for supper now…keep the faith..can talk later if ur still online sucks to be him..he chose his path…

Steve please advise if u are coming in or not for ur other shifts …if not I will schedule another driver…for tonight we will only have one after 10…wish u would have told me u were not coming in tonight…u really left us in a lurch…we are trying to grow and cannot do that if we have few drivers on the road…

2/13, 6:02pm

Stephen Sinclair

Sorry XXX, but I regret to inform you that I cannot work at City anymore. I am refusing an unsafe work environment. I made reports with the Staff Sergeant, MPP and Premier today. I have talked to you about the reasons. I’m sorry. I wish you all the best.

2/13, 6:19pm

Retired Teacher

wish u would have waited…I had arranged with XXXX’s nephew to go in to the detachment when he finished his course…he is with the OPP here in town…now u have probably gotten me in trouble for no reason…

2/13, 6:27pm

Retired Teacher

2/13, 6:29pm

Stephen Sinclair

all the best XXX. Thanks for everything.

Sue me.

Please leave me alone.

Retired Teacher

cant get blood out of a stone

2/13, 6:37pm

Stephen Sinclair

Some way to talk to an employee who has refused working with a drug dealer after making numerous reports to you. You allow drug dealers to work at city. That is why I quit. You can make all the noise you want and insult me all you want. Why don’t you call me retard or get one of your Val Dor boys to put a contract on my head?
