• Did Michael pay $2 million to take control of Flying "L" Ranch Ltd.?
  Michael petitioned the BC Supreme Court to compel the Company's other 50% shareholder/director to sell his shares and transfer his adjacent 80-acre property, DL199, to the company for $2 million, to be paid by Michael. Public records suggest he obtained that result: Michael is now the sole director, and DL199 is registered to the company.
• Critical Vet Procedures Donation Campaign - vet bill disclosures.
  On August 22, 2026 Michael posted three Instagram stories disclosing veterinary bills or payments totalling $6,944.32 including and $1,574.63 for the family's dog. These disclosures do not answer the basic fundraising question: How much was raised, how much was spent on exactly what, and what happened to any balance?

• Intimidation, Cyberbullying, and Surveillance?
  Updated to include Michael’s June 28-29, 2026, Sunshine Coast “Mission” and Claimed Surveillance of a “Hater”. Michael and Nicole Lares posted a sequence portraying Michael as travelling to the Sunshine Coast on a “mission” to monitor a person he described as a “hater”, reinforced by references to “taking out trash”, “surveillance work”, and “eyes on the self proclaimed biggest hater of the Flying L". Whether the posts documented actual travel and surveillance, or were intended to create that impression, remains unverified.
  
• Where is the US$53k Tilt Squeeze?
  After Michael received donations in excess of US$21,000 over a year-long fundraising campaign specifically for its US$53k purchase price, we have found no public photo, video, or other clear evidence showing the new tilt squeeze was at the ranch, in use, or in transit to the ranch, as of August 22, 2026.
  UPDATE: Michael reportedly told the manufacturer "to sell that chute to someone else."
  Where here did the US$21,000 donated money go?

• Podcasts.
  Check out these AI-created podcasts! The first episode examines the back-side of the emotional but publicly unverified family origin story of trauma, healing, and a fresh start became the foundation for a monetized online ecosystem built around rugged off-grid imagery, animal care, and visually compelling scenery. The second episode examines how the creator economy has outpaced public accountability to create a gap between the image followers see and the structure donors may actually be funding.
• Charity or Channel?
  Michael recently announced two new entities tied to the Flying “L” Ranch narrative, describing one as a “Canadian Charity” and the other as a “U.S. Non-Profit”. But those labels do not confer CRA charitable status. This article examines the public record and asks whether a genuine public-benefit charity is being created, or whether the Ranch’s existing private, for-profit ecosystem is being repackaged as a non-profit. The test is separation, not slogans.

"This is another great difference between our civilization and yours.
You admire the man who pushes his way to the top in any walk of life,
while we admire the man who abandons his ego."
