…having co-chaired the Liberals’ 2001 and 2005 campaigns. 
A wonderful bit of work has come my way from a  very keen source, that I would like to share with you – it’s a chart detailing Kinsella’s dealings. Forgive the format- wordpress isn’t always the best for dealing with the charts. I am hoping a hyperlink becomes [...]

Why did Premier Gordon Campbells buddy( and Liberal wizard), Patrick Kinsella,  get paid nearly $300,000 from BC Rail in the period around the sale of BC Rail?

Time for Wally Oppal and Gordon Campbell to go.

 Even though I’ve been on an Oprah boycott forever, I recently blogged about a portion of her commencement speech that  was damn good advice to anyone in dealing with people.
