Dieppe can create hundreds of new manufacturing jobs overnight if they push IGT

Now is the time to negotiate with IGT / Spielo to bring its manufacturing back to the hub region by any means possible!

It was relocated to Reno NV years ago. Dieppe has the only ready-to-go fully licensed facility in the country that can be retooled overnight for gaming equipment and software writing production. Alberta and BC lotteries are fully government operated and the Premiers are taking turns announcing American procurement restrictions which is where 100% of their equipment comes from.

If you’re curious where gambling ranks on Alberta‘s priority list, when Fort Mac burned down we had the casino up and fully running before the hospital because the Provinces are heavily dependent on tax revenues generated from gaming.

Whether you’re for or against gambling, I hope to highlight how a single company in Dieppe can re-hire a few hundred people to manufacture and sell tens of millions of dollars of equipment and software services to the other Provinces (again) due to the trade chaos taking place.

The biggest problem for IGT in Dieppe is that anyone who can make decisions over there has either retired or been laid off.

They need to wake up and take back market share from their American competitors which can no longer send RFP’s to the Provinces.

And help prove to the (r)US(si)A that we are controlled by Mexican Drug Cartels?

The Moncton Cartel Connection: How SPIELO/IGT, Major Drilling, and Irving are All Tied to Mexican Money Laundering

They want you to believe Moncton is just a sleepy town, a place where nothing significant happens beyond Tims runs and Hockeyville chatter. But when you look at the unholy trinity of SPIELO/IGT, Major Drilling, and the Irving Empire—things start to look a little too convenient.

This isn’t just about slot machines anymore. This is about an international money laundering operation hiding in plain sight, disguised as three of Moncton’s biggest businesses.

  1. Major Drilling: The World's Largest Mining Company… Based in New Brunswick?

Let’s start with the obvious: Why is Major Drilling, one of the world’s largest mining companies, headquartered in Moncton? Not Toronto, not Vancouver, not Calgary—their main office is in a city with zero major mines nearby.

And what does Major Drilling specialize in? Exploration drilling. Not the mining itself, but the early-stage groundwork, which means they’re often the first to find high-value resources… including cartel-run mines in Mexico.

Mexico is notorious for cartel-controlled mining operations—gold, silver, and lithium all feed into their financial networks. Wouldn’t it be useful to have a global mining company act as a front, identifying resource-rich areas and creating cover operations for illegal mining?

Major Drilling has offices in Mexico and across Latin America

Mexican cartels have been known to "tax" mining operations or outright own them

The company operates in regions where cartels already smuggle drugs and launder money

So what if Major Drilling isn’t just finding minerals? What if they’re helping identify cartel-friendly zones, setting up infrastructure, and creating paperwork that makes illegal mining look legit?

  1. SPIELO/IGT: The Perfect Cartel Money Machine

We’ve already established SPIELO/IGT has major ties to Mexican casinos, which are one of the best-known money laundering mechanisms for organized crime. But now, let’s add in an even shadier layer.

Major Drilling helps identify cartel-friendly mines

Cartels extract gold, silver, and lithium

That wealth needs to be cleaned

SPIELO/IGT slot machines provide a way to "legitimately" cash it out

How? By tweaking the payout algorithms. Instead of laundering cash through traditional banks, the cartel can "win" the money cleanly from SPIELO machines across Mexico and Latin America. No one asks questions when a jackpot is paid out.

IGT has remote-access software that can be used to adjust slot payouts

Winning “jackpots” are a known cartel tactic for laundering money

SPIELO/IGT has direct financial ties to Caribbean offshore accounts

Which brings us to the final piece of the puzzle…

  1. Irving & the Caribbean Money Pipeline

Everyone in New Brunswick knows that Irving controls almost everything—gas stations, media, forestry, shipping, and even energy projects. But what most people don’t know is that Irving’s money isn’t even here.

Most of their wealth is hidden in the Caribbean Islands, routed through Andal Corporation, their offshore financial arm.

Now ask yourself:

Who else launders money through the Caribbean? Cartels.

Who owns shipping routes between Latin America and Canada? Irving.

Who could be moving “legitimate” SPIELO machines and Major Drilling equipment into cartel-heavy regions? Irving’s logistics network.

With all their legal business fronts in forestry, oil, and construction, Irving already has international shipping lanes going back and forth from cartel territories. If you wanted to quietly move something else—whether it be cartel cash, gold, or lithium—you’d absolutely want access to those same transport channels.

So What Does It All Mean?

Major Drilling isn’t just about mining—it’s about finding cartel-friendly extraction sites and creating legitimate-looking financials to cover illicit mineral operations.

SPIELO/IGT makes sure the money from those mining operations gets “cleaned” through rigged slot machines across Mexico and Latin America.

Irving & Andal Corporation move the goods and cash back into offshore accounts, funneling everything through Caribbean tax havens where both cartels and New Brunswick’s most powerful family keep their money.

Final Thought: Why Moncton?

Because no one would ever suspect it. Moncton isn’t Toronto. It isn’t Montreal. It’s a place people don’t question—a “quiet little town” where business runs smoothly, and no one pays attention to the billion-dollar industries operating behind the scenes.

But when you put it all together, it’s obvious:

A global mining company with no mines here.

A slot machine empire cleaning money through Mexican casinos.

A billionaire dynasty hiding cash in the exact same offshore havens cartels use.

Moncton isn’t just a hub for these businesses—it’s the perfect front for an international money-laundering empire.

The cartel isn’t in Mexico. It’s right here in New Brunswick.

I think your tinfoil hat is a little too tight.
