The Chronicles of Criminal Injustice - Basi/Virk
Nobody has followed the Basi-Virk affair over its past five years with greater diligence than local journalist, Bill Tieleman.
In yesterday's thetyee.ca, Tieleman published a most comprehensive study of the as-yet-entirely-unresolved legislature scandal. The piece is called "Railgate, A to Z."
I urge you as an informed BC citizen to read it and save it for future reference. The trial is supposed to begin - finally - sometime in the spring - if we ever have a spring.
It is also highly likely that this mess possibly involving the highest reaches of local government may, in fact, never reach a court room.
It is particularly likely that it won't reach a courtroom before the May election.
Tieleman deserves our thanks, a fistful of journalism awards and some merit citation for citizenship.

If this trial fails, it means the rule of law doesn't exist in BC and Canada.
I believe that the time for levity in this fiasco is over. I may be a way off base, but it is my belief that if Christy Clark were to devote 1 hour of her Program to her husband Mark Marrison, Judith Reid, and Gary Collins, I would suggest that the 4 of them could bring closure to this rubbish. In my estimation, these are the 4 key players that the process are protecting. All we need is 3 honourable men, and one honest woman to come clean with the citizens of B.C.
No more millions spent, no more lawyers booking Aruba vacations on the taxpayers dime, just some up front, honourable behavior from those who know............. or, just follow the money.
What a dogs breakfast!
I guess the wheels of justice grind even slower when the powers that be are trying to derail them.
