Elmhirst resigned from a postion with the national Liberal Party.<br /><br />Yet a quick search of the CBC site shows no mention of this story. The same goes for the Toronto Star and the Globe and Mail, with the exception that the electronic globe has some Tory blogger roundup by a guy named Doyle who did mention the 24 Hours story.<br /><br />Why are the Central and Eastern media so thoroughly disinterested in this development? At a time when Dion's campaign is going to be run by Marissen, surely a resignation in the BC offices of the Federal Liberals, for this kind of reason, is at least worthy background news.Budd Campbellhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04194826986794514558noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-35935973.post-16455749092931162712007-01-31T19:19:00.000-08:002007-01-31T19:19:00.000-08:00Why is it that some folks work on the theory.

In search warrant documents released by the court his former partners have alleged they paid bribes to government officials. The question for me is this, what exactly is Elmhirst going to say in court. I don't think he has been subpoenaed to provide evidence that basi and virk liked to sip tea in fine china. This information raises questions Bill troubling questions.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-35935973.post-2227720684176656162007-01-31T17:36:00.000-08:002007-01-31T17:36:00.000-08:00I have been forced to reject several comments due ...I have been forced to reject several comments due to the potentially problematic nature of their contents.<br /><br />I warn again that these matters are before the courts, that a presumption of innocence is a hallmark of our justice system and that all posters should be extremely accurate about their words.<br /><br />There have been numerous allegations, including those in search warrants and in documents released and discussed in BC Supreme Court - but nothing has been accepted or proven as fact at this point.Bill Tielemanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03304971610140279157noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-35935973.post-86099235553837714862007-01-31T12:51:00.000-08:002007-01-31T12:51:00.000-08:00Readers of this blog may be interested to know tha...Readers of this blog may be interested to know that this story from 24 hours is currently the lead item on Bourque Newswatch.<br /><br />www.bourque.comBill Tielemanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03304971610140279157noreply@blogger.com
