Data Scientist with two PhDs (Math & CompSci), extensive experience in vendor products performance evaluation, 20+ years of working with GC, developer of Open Canada Deaths Tracker App, seeks the truth, sharing occasionally poetry and music coming from the heart.
What makes this newsletter unique compared to many others on substack.com is the fact that the author of this newsletter is still employed with GC, meaning that he has to be very careful with what he writes to make sure that he does not violate his employer’s Code of Value and Ethics, in particular the clause quoted below:
5.2. Public Criticism of the CBSA and/or the Government of Canada:
We refrain from making public criticisms of the CBSA and/or the Government of Canada including posting critical comments on social media fora.
As one can imagine, it is exactly because of this clause, which is the condition of employment for most Government employees, that many of them prefer to remain silent in relationship to everything the Government is doing. This is also the reason why the subculture and information bubble within which Government employees operate is very different from that outside of the Government - People there are very nice and friendly, but they may not see the world the way other people do, getting most of their news either directly from government and legacy main stream media.
This is why, because of the data evidence that he has observed and his personal experience living in USSR, Dmitry knows that he must not remain silent in order to help his country and his employer to protect the fundamental rights of all Canadians for life and security. He uses his analytical skills and the democratic foundations of our country to bring more transparency and accountability to all levels of government, while guarding them from political and private industry interferences.
You can read full Dmitry’s testimonial from his “Police Hero Award” Nomination Letter for Detective Helen Grus. You can also check some of his poetry and music below.

Who ?
(Anthem for the new generation)
By Dmitry Gorodnichy
Who can tell me the truth?
Who can show me the way?
Who can bring from the darkness
A ray of hope and brighten my day?
Who can help ease my mind,
Face with a smile ups and downs?
Who can remain calm and kind
Despite heavy storms that are raging around?
Who can I hear the music
That I compose every night?
Who has wisdom and courage
To say what is wrong and to do what is right?
Who?
Another day’s gone, gone forever.
A beautiful present wrapped in autumn leaves
Was given to me and once again left unopened. -
No one was saved, no one was set free.
I saw in my dreams there is a land far from here,
Where people are governed not by money but love.
Who can show me the way how to get there
To this happy land I've been dreaming of?
I'm ready to start a new journey.
And leave all the comfort and worries behind.
Hey, who is there willing to join me
In search of the answers that are so hard to find?
Who?
Who could give me a hug?
Who can look straight into my eyes,
Not from the holes in a mask,
Not from the screen of an electronic device?
Who can go with me for a walk
To watch the sunset and the stars shining bright?
Who can hold my hand and allow me to talk
So I can let out everything that is burning inside?
Love is stronger than fear
Trust has more value than gold.
Who can bring it back, have the good news to share ?
Who can think for themselves, not what they’ve been told?
Who?
Who can speak up for the others
Who have no voice anywhere,
Who suffer in silence,
Losing hope, falling into despair?
Who won't allow this to happen?
Who can discern evil from good?
Who will lead by example
Helping the helpless like everyone should?
Who is ready to stand up
And let the healing begin?
Who will defy propaganda?
Will open the windows and let the fresh air in?
Who?
Maybe it’s you?

The story behind the song
In April 2023, I have finished the poem I’ve been working on for several months.
It’s about everything I’ve been feeling about over the past few years….

Why I+V+I=M ?
Originally, it stood for Intelligent Vision Interfaces Machines. which I invented and helped to develop when I worked at the National Research Council of Canada, using my training in AI, Computer Vision and Machine Learning. See nouse.ca to learn more. This is also why I have the www.IVIM.ca portal, which was created back in 2007 and which is now repurposed to support various community projects - to help people help each other.
Then, it stood for Independently Verified Information Machines, which I started developing with my colleagues in the fall of 2021 as part of our data science training in effort to make better use of the growing amount of various Open Data, including on the topics that were of highest interest to everyone. See open-canada.github.io/App/vitals to learn more.
Now, it simply stands for the visual illusion IVI = M, which I can rephrase as following: “Sometimes what you see (or what you are told) is different from what it actually is”. In other words: Think for yourself, Distinguish News gathering from Propaganda, remain true to your values and who you are.
Since March 2023, this newsletter is renamed to “Who (can tell me the truth)?” inline with the poem and the song that I have composed from “everything that is burning inside”.
