In all the ‘Basi-Virk’ trial documents I’ve provided for you, (at great risk to myself) never before have I seen a simple, single page with such startling revelations contained thereon. And the implications are, once more, crystal clear: This matter, had it been at trial for even one more witness, would have surely brought the [...]

When pressure builds under any cap, the blast is always equal to the amount of pressure. Perhaps this is an imprecise analogy in physics or science in general as the detonation may not always equal the pressure, but in public life–specifically in politics, the explosion often exceeds what’s been building below. Even when it doesn’t [...]

It’s amazing how one story folds into another. When last week we left VPD Chief Constable Jim Chu, we discovered he was collecting north of a whooping, faint-inducing, $300,000 dollars and major raise/bonus in the year his failed leadership of the VPD resulted in the Stanley Cup riot. It didn’t matter that he looked the [...]

In the waning days of the Richard Nixon Administration, the late President was in the kind of turmoil for which no leader would ever bargain, in the worst of his nightmares. One week prior to the fateful day of August 8th., 1974, former Nixon aide, General Alexander Haig, met with then Vice President Gerald Ford. [...]

Think of it as a perverse Jesus Doctrine gone terribly bad that Danielle Smith lost to an inferior competitor. Last night, Alberta elected Alison Redford Premier instead. A middle-aged, well-adjusted, intelligent woman of considerable means, she’s hard not to admire. But I don’t like her much, frankly. Firstly, she’s mentored by former Prime Minister Joe [...]

I am  perpetually amazed at Premier Christy Clark’s total inability to tell whoever is whispering some utterly–and clearly, loathsome, ineffectual advise in her ear, to go straight to bloody hell. One would think that after one year of revolving mantras and unremitting sophistry (families first, jobs and free enterprise now) would have given way to certain [...]

Victoria, B.C. – Late this evening, from her hotel suite in Boston, Premier Christy Clark has issued a statement through staffers Rebecca Scott and Pamela Martin, blaming the Vancouver Canucks shocking first round loss on BC Conservative leader John Cummins. From the Premier’s statement: “I want all Britssshhhth Columbiansth ta know that, ya know, like, [...]

The NDP swept to an unprecedented victory in both Chilliwack and Port Moody last night. For the Opposition it was truly a banner night. They were organized, well-funded and coherent in their messaging. They ran superb campaigns in both ridings and their candidates were popular and committed to local issues blended with general themes of [...]

I was not surprised last night, to hear that the Premier wouldn’t be in either Port Moody or Chilliwack this evening. This is typical of what’s happening with the rapidly disintegrating Christy Clark, who you will note, becomes more and more absent the more her government crumbles around her. This isn’t leadership or strategy, it’s [...]

Regardless of my endorsements of BC Conservative John Martin for Chilliwack and BC NDP superstar Joe Trasolini for Port Moody, I’m thinking the NDP will likely take both ridings. Here’s why. In Chilliwack, the parties are split into thirds. But the BC Liberals’ vote is coming apart on them. They will finish third with Laurie [...]
