At the rate this thing is crawling along you’ve ample time to collect your Jack Webster award; unless the whole thing vaporizes before our very eyes, which is exactly what Campbell and his circle of corrupt cronies are working so desperately to achieve behind the curtain.<BR/><BR/>This whole sordid affair emphasises just how corrupt this administration is and how dysfunctional, and perhaps manipulated our legal system has become, and how partisan and perhaps manipulated the mainstream media is.<BR/><BR/>Apparently neither justice nor democracy holds any value with Campbell and his party.<BR/><BR/>British Columbia!

The real truth could possibly bring down some of the more powerful and corrupt people in this province.<BR/>I have been following this trial since day one (on this site and BC Mary’s), yet when I talk to people nobody knows anything at all. When I get into a conversation trying to explain what has been transpiring over the years, people seem to think I am making things up. “How come I have not heard anything about this”, I get asked? I associate with many politically active people who I would think this trial would be their major focus yet they do not know about it.<BR/>As we all know the major problem lies with the silence of the MSM. This is another conversation that people do not seem to understand or believe. <BR/>We have many government actions/inactions in this province that concerned citizens are focusing on. Run of River, Fish Farms, P3s, BC Hydro, Senior Care just to name a few. None of these will bring down the government! This trial should and could very easily destroy the Liberal Party as we know it today. Where are all the people? Is there anybody out there that could cause enough noise to get the attention of the masses?<BR/>Hundreds of people will show up to protest something that the government is doing that they do not like yet this case draws 4 people to the court and a dozen bloggers on sites like this. Unions will spend millions trying to get their messages across. Put as much effort and money into getting this fake trial into the public’s mind and many of the other problems could be made to go away very quickly.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-35935973.post-53373439662205917672008-11-28T11:42:00.000-08:002008-11-28T11:42:00.000-08:00All very true, but the average person probably doe...All very true, but the average person probably doesn't even notice. The longer the trial drags on, even less so.<BR/><BR/>It's interesting how the Liberals get away with so much corruption and thievery, yet the NDP could never even dream of reaching such heights.
