When you first arrive, the developing silence is incomprehensible. Shuffling of feet stops. You become more purposeful. Breathing becomes a little laboured and tight–you must work for it a little. You are, after all, standing among the sad, exhausted souls of innocents. For a place that birthed millions of unearthly cries in the night, it’s [...]

During the lead up to the BC Liberal leadership contest, Global TV had run two stories featuring sleuthing I did to unearth ‘Basi-Virk’ documents that clearly showed Christy Clark had lied to the people of the province with respect to her involvement in the corrupt sale of BC Rail. Far from the “spotless” record she [...]

It was my pleasure to appear on the prestigious ‘This Week In Money’ program today, hosted by friend to this blog Stirling Faux on the exceptional ‘Talk Digital Network’. Click on the link below. I recommend the whole show, however, if you’d like to listen to the second segment featuring me, slide the bar to [...]

Don’t you find it interesting that the most respected and highest credentialed Conservative of the four, prominent former MPs who just retired earlier this year has been silent? Jay Hill we’ve covered. So, too, with Stock Day. And I’m loosening a little on Cummins for reasons I will explain in a post tomorrow. But I [...]

I’m not terribly shocked with the tacit support for the BC Liberals, and, specifically Christy Clark, by former Conservative MPs Stockwell Day and Jay Hill. The shockwaves are, in and of themselves, shocking, for some, but hardly for me since Hill and Day are easy to judge (and predict) on even a cursory review of [...]

From 1996-2000, Bob Virk was Christy Clark’s legislative assistant. Virk, by all accounts, was competent, capable and loyal– some claim to a fault. Anything Ms. Clark demanded of him was delivered with diligence and care. Speaking notes? No problem. Backgrounders? By the dozen. Meeting assessments? You bet. One half of the now infamous ‘Basi-Virk’ tandem [...]

I’ll be back tomorrow. This coming week you can finally look forward to more ‘Basi-Virk’. I will show you–IN DETAIL how fraudulent the CTV story was that “exonerated” Christy Clark. I had a detailed look at their final cut and did some background work on the interviewees–specifically what they said, and there is NO QUESTION [...]

I don’t mind if the Prime Minister does something for which he receives criticism. I don’t think he does either. There wasn’t a single one in the history of this country that had either expected otherwise or regretted it went it became manifest. Stephen Harper has proved it by addressing criticism. albeit not to the [...]

After I was censored by Shaw-owned/Corus-run CKNW not long ago and the fit hit the shan, I received a polite albeit terse note from the always affable Sean Leslie (even though he’s now resorted to lobbing softball questions at his former colleague, the Dishonourable you -know-who…) He wrote something very interesting. In a spirited defence [...]

Dear Readers of alexgtsakumis.com: It is a pleasure for me to be the first guest blogger within the space I am usually sliced and diced for what might appear to be policy  flip flops and the like. They are not, of course, just me simply exercising my womanhood–since I’m familiar with all the feminist leaders [...]
