Gordon Campbell’s “Review” of B.C.’s Special Prosecutor Appointment Process - and The BC Rail Scandal.  A Continuing Policy of Public Fraud?

Nothing, it appears, is done honestly in the conduct of public affairs in British Columbia. 

Yesterday’s ‘Campbell Group Lies’ have to be covered up today.  Day after day after day … after day.

The sludge of corruption gets deeper ... and deeper.  Mainstream Press and Media grovel shamelessly.  “Cover-up” and collusion, are, apparently, their only remaining expertise.

   Associate Chief Justice Anne MacKenzie of the B.C. Supreme Court and the Insane Publication Ban on B.C Rail Scandal Matters.  Democracy in Canada Under Attack.

The draconian publication ban imposed by Associate Chief Justice Anne Mackenzie (March 2010) on most B.C. Rail Scandal pre-trial processes and all present trial processes without the presence of the jury is, in my opinion, scandalous.  It joins an increasing move, under the Stephen Harper government, to strip freedoms from Canadians and to teach them that a ‘police state’ is the best guardian of democracy.

Mainstream Press and Media people will doubtless say the ban is normal, ordinary, pro forma, nothing to be alarmed about.  But the Mainstream Press and Media people are losing their credibility so fast we may almost assume that whatever they support has to be resisted by the general population.  One member of the committee that denied me court accreditation as journalist was employed by CTV.  A report, now, on the internet, alleges (with apparent visual proof) that CTV used Vancouver Olympic footage, offering it as part of the mayhem scenes at Toronto’s G20 demonstrations - to make the G20 mayhem look worse.

The Supreme Court of British Columbia: A Naturally Dysfunctional Basket-Case?  Or Something Else? What the “Journalist Accreditation System” Tells.

Associate Chief Justice Patrick Dohm signed search warrant material at a foreign holiday spa to “further” the B.C. Premier Glen Clark (almost baseless, 1999-2002) fraud case. I call it the “fraudulent investigation and trial of Glen Clark” – months and months of RCMP investigation and 136 days of trial costing millions of dollars, to fight over some ten or twelve thousand dollars spent on a residence sun deck.  Clark was cleared of all wrong doing … but was (as intended?) ruined politically.

Canadian Politics The BC Rail Scandal Case. The Publication Ban
Contributed by Robin Mathews on Wednesday, June 30 at 14:02 (581 reads)

The BC Rail Scandal.  For the Supreme Court of British Columbia Ms. Jill Leacock (June 29, 2010) Law Officer, reproves Robin Mathews for his interpretation of the Publication Ban "in the absence of the jury" (imposed by Associate Chief Justice Anne MacKenzie in the Basi, Virk, and Basi case).  Robin Mathws replies.

  The publication ban in the trial of Dave Basi, Bob Virk, and Aneal Basi (the B.C. Rail Scandal) is suppressing information that the public wants. Because the Gordon Campbell government is closely associated with the trial, discontent has a focus - and suspicion is rife. That raises the whole question of such bans in general ... and this one in particular.

Already strange similarities are beginning to show between the BC Rail Scandal (the Basi, Virk, and Basi case) and the Robert Dziekanski Affair.  The latter is exploding as a result of the Report by Mr. Justice Thomas Braidwood on the actions of the four RCMP officers involved in the confrontation with Dziekanski in Vancouver International Airport in 2007.  CanWest's BC flagship The Vancouvr Sun leads the game of 'smoke and mirrors".

Canadian Politics Harper's Political Demise Starts At G20 Fiasco
Contributed by NAUWATCH on Friday, June 11 at 08:12 (677 reads)

By Bob Hepburn

When political leaders start to lose power, it’s often because voters have come to believe they have grown too arrogant, too uncaring and too obsessed with their own image.

It’s what happened to Pierre Trudeau, Brian Mulroney and Jean Chrétien, all of whom left office when their support was near all-time lows and their reputations were tarnished.

It’s now happening to Stephen Harper.

Canadian Politics B.C. Special (Crown) Prosecutors Under Fire
Contributed by Robin Mathews on Monday, June 07 at 11:54 (619 reads)

B.C. Attorney General Michael de Jong has asked UBC vice-president and former Liberal MP Stephen Owen to "review" a Special Prosecutor appointments procedure that is under continuing suspicion and attack. The twosome looks cozy - perhaps too cozy for the good of the administration of justice in B.C.

Contributed by Robin Mathews on Tuesday, May 18 at 08:35 (815 reads)

The appointment of the Special Crown Prosecutor in the BC Rail Scandal case is in question.  the case involves former cabinet aides Dave Basi, Bobby Virk, and Aneal Basi.  But no one will face the question of the appointment of William Berardino - neither the Attorney General nor top B.C. Supreme Court officers.  The refusal to deal with the matter has eventuated in the following Complaint to the Canadian Judicial Council.

Canadian Politics New Book Suggests Tories Pushing Christian Agenda
Contributed by NAUWATCH on Monday, May 17 at 09:06 (840 reads)

CTV.ca News Staff

The top echelons of power in Ottawa have come under the influence of a growing right-wing religious movement, according to a controversial new book.

"The Armageddon Factor: The Rise of Christian Nationalism in Canada," was released this week. In it, journalist Marci McDonald writes that Prime Minister Stephen Harper is catering to Christian conservative groups in an effort to bolster his party's political base.

And that relationship could shape federal policy in Canada for years to come, she argues.
