Christy Clark, Welcome to Fawlty Towers!

The BC Liberals broke the law, the legal fee indemnity for Government employees is straight forward, if you are innocent legal fees are paid, if found guilty or pleading guilty Government employees are required to pay their own legal fees, no ifs ands or buts...

The Toope report commissioned by the BC Liberals was two things, a waste of time and money and a lame attempt to shield a corrupt BC Liberal Government from public scrutiny, the move back-fired, Toope`s report has spawned more questions than answers, in fact the only thing the Toope report has done is confirm that the Christy Gordon Campbell Clark Government broke the law!..

Graham Whitmarsh, deputy minister of finance...First off, whether it was Bernadino, Whitmarsh, Loukidelis, whether it was Collins, Oppal, De Jong matters not, the real driving force behind the sudden conclusion of the BC Rail Corruption trial was one...

Gordon Muir Campbell and David Mclean, those two are indeed the power brokers, Campbell promised David Mclean a railway in 1996 and although a little late, Gordon  Campbell made good that promise in 2002, shortly after he won the Provincial election of 2001, an election where Gordon  Muir Campbell campaigned on a platform that was very specific, and I quote...


"I will not sell BC Rail" snip.......Now we know he sold it, Gordo the liar did cling to a story for some years after that he didn`t sell it, he leased it, well, a 999 year lease is no lease, it`s a goddamn sale, the reason why I brought this up, for what I`m about to say next saddens me, it saddens me how morally weak man can be, how smart, well-educated men can lie, cheat, steal, break laws and be basically bribed into doing anything, including wiping Gordon Campbell`s shit stains!

Graham Whitmarsh, the man has an impressive profile, well educated, a world traveler, here is a little background on Whitmarsh..
 _______________________________________________________________

After graduating from the University of Leeds with a BSc honours in engineering, Graham pursued a career in the Royal Navy as a warfare officer in nuclear submarines. During his time in the Royal Navy, he continued his education at Dartmouth Royal Naval College and Greenwich Naval College. His 17 year international business career included senior executive positions at British Aerospace, Sabre Airline Solutions, Harmony Airways, and Mercury Scheduling Systems, where he led experienced teams through large complex projects and new ground breaking initiatives, including public and capital asset financing and low cost operational service delivery. His business acumen and talents are diverse; extending to all aspects of corporate development, finance, account management, business systems, organizational planning and restructuring.
As head of the Climate Action Secretariat, Graham's responsibilities were critical to achieving the province's successful climate action agenda and setting the course to reduce greenhouse gas emission in BC by 33 percent by 2020 and ensure that the government of British Columbia is carbon neutral by 2010. Graham has led a world-class team of professionals from business, government and the environmental movement to help meet these ambitious goals. He played a leading role in establishing the Pacific Carbon Trust a new crown corporation which will play a key role in developing the fast growing carbon offset market in BC.
______________________________________________________________

But talented doesn`t always mean successful or ethical, you will notice that Whitmarsh has a background at Harmony Air, yes indeed, both Graham Whitmarsh and Gary Collins worked hand to mouth at the now defunct Harmony Air and they both worked with the BC Ministry of Finance...

Pay special attention to the latter part of the above cut n paste, Graham Whitmarsh was appointed by a one Gordon  Campbell to be his climate action secretariat, imagine that, first off, BC has not reduced GHG emissions one iota since Whitmarsh was named head of Gordon Campbell`s climate scam, for that`s what it was, a SCAM! Whitmarsh although educated his expertise is in PR...You bet, he`s a spin doctor, Gordon Campbell needed spin doctors and gullible celeb eco sellouts like Tzeporah Berman to sell his snake oil,......EnCana Gas`s Cabin gas plant in Northern BC will be adding 3% to BC`s total emissions alone, imagine that, one single EnCana gas project adds 3% to BC`s total emissions alone....Hmmm..

So not only is Gordon  Campbell in Europe promoting the Alberta oil sands, Campbell is lobbying against clean fuel standards, the dirty low-down scoundrel not only jacked up BCers with a useless carbon tax he at the same time is lobbying for dirty fuel and expanded tar sand use, and who was Gordo`s BC PR man, the man he put in charge of the Carbon Tax and carbon offsets, no other than one Graham Whitmarsh....So Gordo makes Whitmarsh our climate secretary, our BC emissions rise, the carbon tax is useless and, ....CARBON OFFSETS....Pacific Carbon Trust, Graham Whitmarsh is the verbal architect of Pacific Carbon Trust, Graham Whitmarsh is the point-man for Gordon  Campbell`s climate scam that has funneled $10s of millions of public dollars  from schools and hospitals....

Full Stop.....BC`s emissions are rising, Gordon Campbell`s carbon tax is useless, BCers are stuck paying a rising carbon tax, meanwhile Gordon Campbell is lobbying for more pollution in Europe, and BC cash-strapped schools and hospitals have to pay $millions of dollars to EnCana gas .....The one company that has added more emissions to BC`s total than any other receives your tax dollars that were stolen from schools and hospitals....

The media in BC allowed Gordon Muir Campbell to commit these crimes in broad daylight, ... as you can see Gordo needed a PR man to sell his putrid pile of manure, the man up for the task was none other than Graham Whitmarsh, ....Whitmarsh soon after gets promoted to the position of Deputy Ministry of finance...From selling snake oil to spinning tales with both hands on the BC cheque book

The other player was once considered by most, including me to be an upstanding fighter, a good guy, a man in pursuit of the truth, the man the BC Liberals as late as January 2010 hated, a man the BC Liberal Government fought tooth and nail with, a one David Loukidelis,

So what happened, in February 2010 out of the blue it`s announced and confirmed that David Loukidelis  is switching teams, he went from head of the Freedom of information where he fought Government including taking them to court forcing documents to be released to ....Drum roll please...To being appointed by the BC Liberals to be deputy Attorney General for the Province of BC..

Everyone in my circle knew that trouble was coming, our once defender and fighter was now working with a corrupt BC Liberal Government....What was your price David Loukidelis?...How much money did it take?....For I believe it was then, at that time was when the planning for the day Basi and Virk were relieved of any legal fees was hatched!.....The two newbie dumbass stooges were placed in a position of power and ordered to do the deed...That deed being to sign off on Basi and Virk, upstanding so-called neutral people playing dumb and taking the heat, Loukidelis had a reputation for honesty, that`s why he was recruited for the deed,....For it must be true, nothing else makes sense, Graham Whitmarsh had already justified the theft of monies from  public schools and hospitals for carbon offsets, monies funneled to EnCana gas and Lafarge cement, $millions of public dollars shipped off to ultra rich corporations, Whitmarsh was willing to sell that slop, signing off on Basi/Virk would be easy...

So let`s run through this, you have a newbie appointed Deputy Minister of Finance in Graham Whitmarsh....And you have a really newly appointed Deputy Attorney General in David Loukidelis....

Here is a little excerpt from a Rob Shaw article that appeared in the Victoria Times Colonist, the link is now dead but we have this saved...(Thanks to our favorite mad scientist Ross K)
______________________________________________________________

".....(W)hen special prosecutor Bill Berardino made the B.C. government aware on Oct. 5 that he had proposed to let the two men plead guilty, it fell to the deputy minister of finance, Graham Whitmarsh, and (Deputy Attorney General David) Loukidelis to figure out whether they would actually have to come up with the money, Loukidelis's statement read.




"A major consideration was the relatively small amounts that might be recovered from Mr. Basi and Mr. Virk compared to the millions of additional dollars it would cost the government to continue to fund defence, prosecution and court-related costs through to the completion of the trial, and to fund any appeals, with no guarantee of convictions," said Loukidelis.




"Based on the above, in our respective capacities the Deputy Minister of Finance and I decided to release Mr. Basi and Mr. Virk from their liability to repay. I communicated that decision to the Attorney General on October 8, 2010....."

Can you read, .....On October 5/2010 Bernadino made the BC Government AWARE!...

Bernadino informed the BC Liberal GOVERNMENT that Basi and Virk were pleading guilty to these charges if their legal fees are paid, Bernadino wouldn`t let senior Government know about a plea without telling them about a $6 million dollar gift to the guilty...these are lawyers after all!....The Government knew, and let`s be clear....


David Loukidelis is very smart, Loukidelis had only been a Deputy Attorney General for a whole  6 months,  Whitmarsh barely much longer as Deputy Finance Minister....So are you telling me that David Loukidelis, a newbie employee, a mere 6 months on the job was making a decision on breaking the law, at a cost of $6 million dollars, making a decision that clearly breaks the Government`s legal indemnity policy, $6 million bucks, involving a red hot trial that has been burning the Government for years, a trial being watched across Canada by legal and political junkies, the biggest BC Government corruption trial in the history of British Columbia with Gary Collins next on the stand.....The same Gary Collins who is not only a friend of a one Graham Whitmarsh but old-time working buddies at Harmony Air, and you expect me or any human being to believe that David Loukidelis didn`t take it up the food chain, at least as far as the Attorney General????? Or that Whitmarsh didn`t go up the food chain to next on the stand a one Gary Collins????......


Are you kidding me!.....There is no way Mike De Jong, Gordon Campbell or Colin Hansen didn`t know about the decision to forgive these legal fees, there is no way two-newbies went out on a limb in okaying breaking a long-standing straight-forward government policy, at the very least David Loukidelis would have sought advice from the Attorney General, who at that time was Mike De Jong....


It doesn`t matter, the plea agreement is just another distraction along the way, Collins, Lokidelis, Whitmarsh, Bernadino, all paid pawns hired to Cover Gordon Muir Campbell`s dirty stinking skid marks...


Really disappointed with you David Loukidelis, does everyone have a price?




The bottom line is the above players are spineless sellouts, they are protecting Gordon  Campbell and David Mclean, there is no way in hell that the BC Government, from select cabinet to the Premier didn`t know about the legal fee deal before it was signed, any BC Liberal Government that tries to say different is merely giving us the..."Dog ate my homework" excuse!
