I do have Guy's email address, though I think it's the one available to all on his profile. I just emailed him and hopefully he'll answer. If what I have is a different one, I'll pass it on if Guy gives me the go-ahead.

Although I work in Istanbul, I've always enjoyed reading Guy's posts on the various Latin American forums. He's smart, funny and helpful -- wish we had more people like him around. It's great to hear about his promotion but I do miss him. Things must be rather hectic for him right now, I suppose.

Congratulations, Guy, wherever you are! Don't be a stranger forever!

I`m sorry, but it's disappointing and inexcusable (to me anyway) for him to have not made that same announcement (or was that not just another ad for his franchise company??) in the very forum where obviously he was getting mega business for the school in Mexico City owned by his wife, and where many people trusted him. Further, there appears to have been several clients left up the creek without a paddle...That is plain crap if it is true. Busy would be the furthest thing from a viable excuse when people are spending money to get certified and now have lost that money because he moved on suddenly. If he truly cared about people here he would have announced his departure HERE too, instead of saying he was going on vacation and disappearing in the night. Crying or Very sad

Guy didn't mention it on this forum, but I did see him post the announcement in the teacher's forum..I think.

Well, wherever he is, I wish him the best. I hope his future is as bright as his messages always were on this forum.

He doesn't seem the type to pull a fast one without a darn good reason, so if that is the case, I'm sure there's a lot more to the story.
But that is his own business and none of ours.

Best of luck Guy.

The link someone posted here was in his profile on the training forum, a few days after his last post here, and visible only when you click on his name...it wasn't an announcement to the forum. My point was that he should have let his clients, those in the midst of taking his online course and who have sent him money, know that they are out of luck. It very much concerns them right now with both a time and monetary investment.

I received some private emails after posting, from a few that have been left hanging. I wish Guy luck too in his future endeavors, but urge him to take care of unfinished business even if just with a simple email to these people. I hope those people who have money invested will be receiving their certificates, don't you? There's enough lack of trust out there, especially where Mexico is concerned. Come on Guy, step up to the plate and show these people that you are the nice person they thought you were when they sent you their money.

Another shonky canadian rip-off artist whose silver tongue has beguiled many, (sigh)

When will we learn, it's the canadians, not the gringos that we need to look out for.








Don't get upset Maple-leafers, many of you are very nice people. It's just that the bad apples are pretty high-profile.

Mike, that is the VERY reason I want to see this made right. I am a Canadian living and working hard in Mexico (is there any other way, really?) and it is bloody embarrassing to watch these continuing scenarios unfold. Embarassed In fact I am really choked this time. I am thinking of trading in my lovely maple leaf emblazoned passport for a Mexican one!

Let's not bury the "guy" until we hear what Guy has to say. There may be a good explanation.

Do we really need to start this again? This is really not a Canadian/Gringo/Mexican issue. Never has been, never will be. We are all foreigners living abroad...no need for any of us to play the race card.
