De Jong, Christy Clark and her brother, should be fined some millions each. De Jong thieved millions of our tax dollars, to pay the way for the criminals involved in, Campbell's corrupt sale of the BCR, Basi and Virk. Every one of them, involved in this crime, needs to pay a very dear price, for their lies and corruption. Campbell had better call his pit bull, Hochstein off. He too thieved his members money, to support the criminal Campbell, without his clients knowledge, to keep the HST. And, Harper will be remembered for his part, regarding the HST, come Federal election time. Perhaps now, the corrupt RCMP will agree to further investigate, Campbell's corrupt sale now. They had refused to do that, when asked. The BC citizens, don't even want the RCMP as an icon for Canada. We would rather have the provincial police. The RCMP's crimes and corruption, have been covered up by, our corrupt judicial system. And, while I think of it, the sea to sky highway scam. Perhaps Campbell would like to remove his part of his corrupt scam, before he gets thrown in prison. Thousands of BC people will never use that highway, and we resent having to pay for that highway , for the wealthy to ski. If they can afford to ski at Whistler, they can afford to pay a toll. BC citizens are furious, we have to pay our tax dollars, for 25 years, for that asinine highway, we will never use. <br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /> really governs this country.

Is this a ploy to take the attention away from the actual sale of BC Rail by painting Basi as nothing more than a lifelong crook? <br /><br />Time to connect some dots. Bornmann, Kinsella and Bruce Clark are linked together back in the day. Kinsella and Clark are major players in trying to get Christy chosen as the new leader of the BC Liberal Party. Christy is facing questions from various quarters about her involvement in the whole BC Rail fiasco. All of a sudden Mr. Bornmann gets a guilt complex or a sense of the need to atone for past bad behavior by revealing that Basi was on the dole long before the sale of BC Rail.<br /><br />I think that we are being played. Basi and his sidekicks have been used as nothing more than pawns by Campbell & Co., and most likely well rewarded for their willingness to take one for the team. Basi's reputation is already tarnished by the results of the Basi-Virk-Basi trial. Why not go back to the well. It seems that his plea deal has resulted in him becoming incommunicado and can't refute Bornmann's assertions. Also, Bornmann's assertions help deflect the attention away from the the complicity from Christy, her brother and Kinsella. Changing the channel has been successful for Campbell, Kinsella's boy, and I think that he is employing the same tactic.<br /><br />As far as the BC Rail sale goes, I doubt that there are too many BC Liberal Party delegates that oppose it. But Christy's machine must be able to show these same delegates that she is the one that will be able to lead their party to victory next election. That information will be supplied by many polls over the next couple of months. These polls will be conducted amongst the general population, not Liberal loyalists. With this in mind, Christy's backers must distance her from BC Rail as much as possible in order to pretend that she was nothing more than an innocent bystander. <br /><br />Remember, she basically quit on the party a few years back, and if she fails to show that she is not the most electible of those that are contesting the race, she is toast.<br /><br />CamCrankypantsnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2435367521078186829.post-34024433614309186152010-12-15T22:54:29.073-08:002010-12-15T22:54:29.073-08:00A phenomenal screed, this sums up the matter in a ...A phenomenal screed, this sums up the matter in a manner the douchey MSM’s could only dream of.
