Web have a new Mystery man behind the scenes at Calgary Coop Andrew Clarke is a former Senior Strategic Security Risk Advisor to the Governor of Bermuda and a former British Army Officer where he led concepts, design and delivery teams in the UK Ministry of Defence’s Strategic Command and Battlespace Management Division. He was the programme manager for the migration of the UK Ministry of Defence’s internet users to a single platform to deliver new capabilities to 250,000 end users. Andrew regularly advises organisations on cyber resilience and has participated on several expert panels addressing supply chain risk. You can’t make this up. Insiders, including Angela Thompson, have referenced him. Now here is yet ANOTHER person with no retail experience or expertise. I’ve reached out to Andrew for a face to face. Let’s see what happens. Andrew, I understand that you are involved with Calgary Coop. I hope you have done your due diligence, because it’s a dumpster fire. I was being interviewed for the CEO position in January to May 2025. I disengaged after asking the obvious tough questions about ex CEO Ken Keeler who was terminated in Sept 2024. I asked why they had not conducted a forensic audit? They could not and can’t now to set the record straight because the Board are implicated in the mismanaging, over payment and general neglect of fiduciary responsibilities. In June I facilitated the termination/resignation of long term Board Chair and ongoing board member Brad Krizan for 3 Code of Ethics violations based on written evidence that Brad provided me regarding; 1. $51 M in Goodwill and additional overpayment for Willow Park Wine and Spirits to Wayne Henuset. An obvious inside deal between Keeler and Wayne. 2. $305 M all in for Care Pharmacy. At lease a 20 times EBITDA multiple, that is going to be scrutinized forever. The vendor maintained the online rights and reaped a ridiculous windfall. 3. Moving from FCL to Suncor a reduction in gasoline margin to 7-8 CPL verses 12-14 CPL, and a resulting $160 M litigation that will not be won by Coop. Coop are giving an 8 CPL customer discount, more than their gross margin. After 6-8 CPL operating cost, you are losing $300,000 PER DAY. $630 M in non cash on the balance sheet based on all the Aquisitions and a $440 M derivative hedge coming due in 2027 that has had the opposite negative effect. There is a $700 M debt wall due in Q1/2027 that you can’t get over. You have no LOC with a bank and you are on COD ABW with your 2 major suppliers Suncor and Pattison Group-both CEO’s are good friends of mine. Its time for WHOMEVER is in charge-Sandy, you whomever to meet as Angela Thompson agreed to June 10th and then reneged. Evasion and dishonesty is what defines Calgary Coop’s “leadership”. I can be reached at (403) 870-9300 or [email protected]. I also contacted your law firm at Norton Rose and your legal regarding the defamation site that Coop initiated.
