Patrick Kinsella / Does the public care?

The NDP have been trying to bring up Patrick Kinsella and his relationship between the government, the BC Liberal Party, BC Rail, and about $300,000 in contract payments.
They are likely trying to create a sentiment of public outrage equivalent to that of David Dingwall’s classic quote “I’m entitled to my entitlements”, but I’m having my doubts that any of this will stick without more of a “story”, such as the entire sponsorship scandal. Certainly having police raid the legislature is quite an event, but will the events of many years ago have any effect on the voting public? Will any marginal BC Liberal voters stay home as a result of this press campaign?
The NDP live in the past and cant find any current issues to raise; so they dredge up stuff from the past…..they love to spend money and love “fudge it budgets” and will never get my vote.
It’s not just a Liberal/Patrick Kinsella issue.
Wittingly or unwittingly, NDP leaders and David Emerson set up the Premier’s Office with secure networks (TruePass) for insider/outsider trading (e.g. CN Rail), short selling (e.g. Nortel, AIG) and money laundering (e.g. Olympic debt-for-equity swaps) through bcIMC, the provincial pension fund.
Note that the RCMP monitored both then premier Glen Clark and Premier Gordon Campbell in connection with breach of trust.
We believe RCMP Commissioner Giuliano Zaccardelli was replaced with a bureaucrat – William Elliot – to shut down investigations into frauds on the pension funds by ‘TruePass’ insiders of both the main parties.
The government and the public pension fund may be on the brink of insolvency; unable to pay its[Olympic] debts as they fall due.
Reform is needed

I’d rather have the NDP “spending money” on social issues than have the Liberals giving my money away to their friends. Life was good in the “70’s, but that was “living in past”….and so was the fudge-it-budget. But then there is deja vu, all over again with the STV, when the Conservatives and Liberals joined together in the ’50’s to form the Social Credit, and did their own form of ballot counting. At least this time they can’t put posters up claiming that allowing the vote to Indo-Canadians and Asians would be a “vote for the socialist hordes” Do a little historical research. It’s beyond me how any non-caucasian could vote anything other than NDP. Or, anyone with any values could vote Liberal. But, I guess we’ll never know. The facts are, undoubtedly, “before the courts”
Teebo: just wait and see the budget update in the summer. I can bet you that the Liberal budget is off target and the deficit will be much higher than 495 million. I can bet it will be in the couple BILLION DOLLAR range… all signs sure say that… Highest unemployment rate, # of bankruptcies etc…
i think it’s the liberals that live in the past, all they talk about is the fast ferries, is that the best they can do, i guess so
All bets are off and election promises are void if bcIMC proves to be insolvent.
Neither the NDP or the Liberals have the knowledge needed to balance the pension fund expectations of retired public servants (Teachers, College, Public Admin and Municipal) and the collapse in taxable income of private sector.
Reform does.
