These petty glitches pale beside the scams involving BC Rail, BC Ferries, improper "oh so" Special Prosecutors, BC Hydro and the Rape of the Rivers and the illegal Fish Farms and the questionable road and bridge scams and shadow tolls. The current guys are into us for much more than the 50 Billlion they own up to and our grandchildren will be paying for their crime spree. <br /><br />By the way are you certain you haven't confused Dave Barrett with Pierre Trudeau and the War Measures Act? It is a fact though that the government of BC was under attack during Barrett's term by the multi-national corporations and Wall Street. They were very chagrined at the thought of losing their place at the trough.kootcoothttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11344208424209840730noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-35935973.post-72574524141403284812011-01-11T11:21:12.255-08:002011-01-11T11:21:12.255-08:00I guess Vaughn the Pawn and Keith Balderdash are s...I guess Vaughn the Pawn and Keith Balderdash are safe, since they aren't journalists and apparently no one is killing PR flacks.kootcoothttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11344208424209840730noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-35935973.post-18155324443891952682011-01-10T16:09:27.696-08:002011-01-10T16:09:27.696-08:00And, talk about dirty tactics.

Getting to the heart of local crime and corruption, and exposing it, is the work of dedicated journalists like you, Bill. You have my full support and thanks for NEVER giving up.<br /><br />I encourage everyone to try to financially support the many who are providing us with their excellent research - donate to their blogs.<br /><br />Many comments lately both on MSM and blog sites have engaged in denigrating either bloggers or the MSM for their bias. <br /><br />I suggest we all focus sharply on the truth - the facts - and show our support to ALL who report injustices. We don't need to agree on everything, but we need to set aside petty squabbles, and recognize the amazing and courageous work being done both on and off the net.<br /><br />I admire every effort to hold accountable those who are destroying our environment, our health and education systems, by investigating our lawyers and police - OUR POLITICIANS - and telling the truth.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-35935973.post-66150336335285997252011-01-08T12:41:15.591-08:002011-01-08T12:41:15.591-08:00And thank you for your service!And thank you for your service!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-35935973.post-45274725804458642162011-01-08T12:40:51.446-08:002011-01-08T12:40:51.446-08:00Excellent and timely piece.
