What if the real threat to national security wasn’t outside our borders… but operating freely within them? In Under Cover, acclaimed former RCMP officer Garry Clement lifts the curtain on his decades-long journey from narcotics busts to the frontlines of transnational organized crime.

UNDER COVER: The True Story of One Man’s Fight Against Canada’s Criminal Collapse – Updated Edition
By Garry Clement
Former RCMP National Director of Proceeds of Crime | Chief Compliance Officer, VersaBank

“When your enemies wear suits and your allies go silent, you’re not in a system—you’re in a war.”

From a frigid November night in North Gower to the inner circles of Canada’s criminal underworld, Garry Clement’s story is not just a memoir—it’s a national reckoning. In this powerful updated edition of the bestselling Under Cover, Clement adds new, harrowing chapters to a life already shaped by danger, betrayal, and unflinching integrity.

As “Bobby Spade,” Garry infiltrated Vancouver’s deadliest drug syndicates. What followed wasn’t a hero’s welcome—it was exile, death threats, and systemic betrayal. When a Crown misstep led to a contract assassin being released, Clement’s life—and Canada’s justice system—was irrevocably changed.

In this new edition, Garry reveals never-before-published insights into:

• His role as Chief Anti-Money Laundering Officer at VersaBank, and what banks are missing.
• The ongoing failures of FINTRAC and federal regulators to stem the flow of illicit money.
• The RCMP’s internal decay—exposed further by the Phantom Secure scandal and the Cameron Ortis treason case.
• How organized crime, foreign influence, and political cowardice have infiltrated Canada’s democratic institutions.
• The damning truths buried in the Sidewinder report, silenced by CSIS and ignored by Ottawa.

With the precision of an investigator and the soul of a patriot, Garry Clement delivers a chilling message: Canada is wide open for corruption—and our leadership is asleep at the wheel.
