Rail will ever be over. The deal was to keep everything under wraps and the two accused to get on with their lives. We will most likely never know if there were other "incentives" for the two accused to get on with their lives."<br /><br />For the Left, Basi/Virk is never over even after two election victories by the BC Liberals. Give it a rest once and for all and move on like the rest of the province has. <br /><br />"As it not being part of the last election, well that was the sad mistake of the then NDP leader and we saw how well that worked out, not going negative."<br /><br />The NDP missed big time on that one and also the Ethnic Quick Wins. But everyone knows the NDP knows how to handle the BC Liberals and win elections. <br /><br />" There is a lot of similarities between the Duffy/Con trial and the Basi/Verk/B.C. Lieberal trial. Its about politics for one side and trying to get re-elected and the other side trying to get out of a situation which could ruin them financially. "<br /><br />No there isn't Duffy would have had no part in the Conservatives getting re-elected. It is more greed and stupidity on Duffy's part plus an appointed Senate that has few decisive rules about expenses<br /><br />"If Duffy doesn't die of a heart attack prior to the end of the trial, I do expect he will take a "deal". He isn't stupid. Even if he were to die, to escape the mess, he has his wife to consider. "<br /><br />Won't take a deal because most likely none will be part of the picture.<br /><br />"Of course Steve may not be as smart as el gordo/B.C. Lieberals and given Steve just doesn't get the Law, well he has passed 10 bills which got tossed at the Supreme Court of Canada and he is appealing the bail for Omar Khadr, so I have a feeling Steve isn't going to want to make a deal with Duffy. Steve believes what he believes, his bible tells him so, you know the one from the Christian and Missionary Alliance Church, where the bible is "inerrant" and the second coming is "imminent". With a P.M. like that, there may well not be a deal being offered."<br /><br />Off topic. SInce when did that kid terrorist Khadr get into the plea bargain that Duffy is supposedly be given?Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-35935973.post-53039132637986735312015-05-03T13:41:39.345-07:002015-05-03T13:41:39.345-07:00I don't believe for many the Basi/Verk/B.C.

It was never a big issue during the election. Never brought to the forefront by the NDP or their supporters. It just lives on and on within the Tyee commentators who have too much time on their hands.<br /><br />Why doesn't Bill follow the "Quick Wins Twins" Brian Bonney and Mark Robertson in detail?Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-35935973.post-60726720889425560012015-04-27T19:25:35.063-07:002015-04-27T19:25:35.063-07:00Duffy sure has a sharp lawyer working for him.

I see you want to bring back BC Rail again, to appease the Left Wing. <br /><br />It's rather odd that BC Rail never came up in the 2013 election, not even the usual loud written screaming from The Tyee contained anything regarding the BC Rail case.<br /><br />Duffy is adamant that he's not guilty so why would he plea bargain?<br /><br />At least someone can take a lot of free time for seven years to attend a trial. For that we thank you. For what ever you passed over to Adrian Dix to use against the BC Liberals, we don't. It either wasn't used or didn't work.<br />Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
