Young Liberals who are here today: Naveen Bains, who's the president of BCYL; <b>Aneal Basi</b>; Jag Bains; Perry Bhaniwal; Kaleim Manji; Savik Sidhu; Nab Gill, who's the president of the <b>Camosun College B.C.

Reichert says Dave has the first one.""<br /><br /><br />How about this scenario: We know how screwed up the RCMP can be, what if they haven't labeled the wiretaps the right way. What if Aneal Basi is using Dave Basi's Legislative office phone to talk to Reichert? Its already been proven that could happen because the RCMP ended up taping conversations between the Premier and the Minister of Finance.<br /><br />Hypothetically "Aneal" Basi says "Is there a question about a cheque for the Camosun guys?" Reichert says "Dave (Basi)has the first one."<br /><br />No. Why would Aneal refer to Basi and Virk as the Camosun guys, unless of course they went to Camosun college and Aneal Basi didn't.<br /><br />I think that "Dave" is not Dave Basi, its got to be someone else who got the "first one."<br /><br />The Basi Boys "the nickname given to a group of B.C. Liberal organizers, fundraisers and recruiters who worked closely with Dave Basi on both provincial and federal Liberal campaigns." - CBCNews<br /><br />Who are the Camosun Guys..... Camosun College, maybe, but wiretaps being what they are maybe what was really said was Camosun Guy.

However, there is a round about way to get at this dirty, corrupt administration. Sometimes you have to go around the mess to get to the core. There is one subject that this government, and every other government cannot deny. It is the one subject that will corner, box in and tongue tie even the most articulate politician. Yes, even Mike Dejong has scampered away from this one already. (twice)<BR/><BR/>The giant in the room is the long standing hidden abuses of the youth in this province. It's the one subject that there is no counter argument. Yes, I have enough background to box many in and then we can start chipping away at the rest of the pile. <BR/><BR/>It's an incredible story, and career, that will help many. It's time for a change in this Province and this is definately the hook that will address all three parties.

When RCMP visited Marissen in 2003, they gave him a letter stating he was not implicated in the investigation but might have been the innocent recipient of some documents. Marissen advises he has had no contact with them since. The Vancouver Sun has no information to suggest that either Marissen or Clark are central figures in this matter, and the inclusion of their photographs was inappropriate.<BR/><BR/>© The Vancouver Sun 2008Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-35935973.post-8641038918646041522008-12-30T17:04:00.000-08:002008-12-30T17:04:00.000-08:00Many thanks for the kind comments here and on The ...Many thanks for the kind comments here and on The Tyee - I truly appreciate them all, and the updated info as well.<BR/><BR/>But I did just remove one comment that should not have been posted - allegations in court are different than allegations here and there is no place for describing people with racial terms that have nothing to do with the issues at hand.<BR/><BR/>As I always say, this is a free speech blog but defamation and bad language is not welcome here.Bill Tielemanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03304971610140279157noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-35935973.post-78217910306051870732008-12-30T15:18:00.000-08:002008-12-30T15:18:00.000-08:00Gosh Bill, my better half happened to look over my...Gosh Bill, my better half happened to look over my shoulder and saw your picture in front of the Law Courts.
