The B.C. New Democrats have released thousands of pages from documents in the B.C. Rail corruption trial. The files were obtained through Freedom of Information requests.
Leonard Krog, NDP Attorney General critic, is quoted in a party news release as saying:
"It has been more than five years since the unprecedented police raid on the Campbell government offices at the legislature and British Columbians are still waiting for answers.
"These documents shed some light on the B.C. Rail corruption scandal, and the public deserves to have access to this information.
"... If they really believed in openness and accountability, the Campbell Liberals would stop delaying the B.C. Rail corruption trial, and they would release the documents they're keeping a secret so that British Columbians can know what really happened."
The B.C. Rail Corruption Trial - Key Documents page is on the NDP website.

Good Work!
This scandal is about to bloom all over BC. There was a blip of activity when the raid happened, but its all been quiet since. BC Liberals don't want to talk about it, but it looks like you reap what you sow.
BC's biggest ever scandal will destroy the BC Liberal party...may it never rise again.

And that is what is so
And that is what is so strange- the main stream media is silent. Maybe they have been told to keep their mouth shut?

And CASH HEED ............
........... want to run for this lot? When you sleep with dogs, you stink.
The entire Liberal party is corrupt and the Tyee seems to be one of the few beacons of truth left.
God help us all from the con-men and gangsters that make up Gordo's Libs.

Since this story broke early
Since this story broke early last week one would think that the mass-media would have been all over this story like wet blanket. The only explaination is that they're covering up for the Liberals (and please don't give us the excuse of Bill 42, the election gag law). So the question has to be asked; If the mass-media is silent on this one issue what other "items of interst" have they've been silent about? If the NDP forms the next Government and has an inquiry on "Railgate", it should include questioning the presses handling of information pertaining to this story. Since there or so many newspaper reporters who have lost their jobs lately, I"m sure they will have no problems on people stepping forward to testify. I know of one reporter who works for the Times-Colonist, has found out the connection between Gordon Campbell and David Hahn but has been told to keep his mouth shut and if he writes an article about it, it won't be printed. He knows what they really mean; 'Keep quite, or your fired'.

Grumpy has it
Kash Heed is looking more like a phoenix every day. The flame that burns twice as bright lasts half as long.
Mr Heed, do yourself a favour: if you must play politics, stay away from the curerent "Liberal" party. They're gonna tank. Save yourself, join another party.
ANY other party.
