“I am a Canadian, free to speak without fear, free to worship in my own way, free to stand for what I think right, free to oppose what I believe wrong, or free to choose those who shall govern my country.

FORSETH: The truth really needs to come out -- especially why duffel bags filled with cash being dumped on casino counters went on unhindered

 


In the past I made comment numerous times that the former BC Liberal government was "addicted" to the revenues they received from the ever-expanding lottery and casino gravy train.

I said it was sick and disgusting, and on top of that, they were robbing (at least in my opinion) monies from community groups and organizations that should have been benefiting from gaming revenues.

On that topic alone, here is what I had to say in December 2016:

All I can say is, it's abundantly clear that while the BC Liberal government continues to strip more and more money from British Columbians, through every increasing schemes for new lottery games and casino expansion, the community groups and organizations that should be benefiting, are instead being shortchanged hundreds of millions every year.

Who do you think should be the recipients of the increased revenue?  I know who Christy Clark and the BC Liberal government think should be ... and it's certainly not community non-profit groups and organizations.

But back to the former Liberal government addiction to gaming revenue, and the questionable behaviors which were happening at BC casinos.

As this news story from last night states, those responsible for turning a blind eye to illegal activity are finally going to be called to testify at the Cullen Commission. Those individuals include former Solicitor’s General Kash Heed and Rich Coleman, former Attorney General and now interim leader of the BC Liberals Shirley Bond, former Finance Minister Michael De Jong, all the way to the top and former BC Premier Christy Clark.

All of these individuals turned a blind eye to millions in unsourced cash that flooded into BC casino’s ... again (in my option) because of their addiction to the revenues it generated for government coffers.

Sadly, it's highly likely they will use 'Cabinet privilege' to get away with saying nothing ... and admitting nothing.

That’s a shame, because the truth really needs to come out --- especially why those duffel bags filled with cash being dumped on casino counters, which we keep seeing in news stories, went on unhindered.

A Kamloops woman’s cancer screening appointment was considered urgent by her doctors and scheduled within weeks, but it was postponed indefinitely when Interior Health ordered her gynecologist take that day’s on-call shift.

One arrested at OneBC event at UVic that draws protesters (Times Colonist)

A would-be speaker was arrested under the Trespass Act after she arrived at the University of Victoria on Tuesday for an event intended to shed light on what the OneBC political party refers to as the “reconciliation industry.”  An officer at the scene initially said two people were arrested, after protesters scuffled with those trying to hold the unsanctioned event. Saanich police issued a statement later Tuesday saying only one person was arrested.  Police did not name the person who was arrested, but OneBC leader Dallas Brodie said it was Frances Widdowson, who was later released ...

Eby misled British Columbians about Cowichan appeal; court records show no stay was ever filed; Conservative leader John Rustad

Conservative Opposition Leader John Rustad says Premier David Eby has been caught misleading the public after court records confirmed the government never filed the stay of the Cowichan ruling the NDP repeatedly promised. “For four months, the Premier said the stay was being sought, the Attorney General claimed the application was underway, and the government told British Columbians that action was coming. The court record shows they did nothing,” said Rustad. “Not one stay, not one application, not one motion. They made promises to homeowners while the registry sat empty.” Premier Eby first promised on August 11, 2025, that a stay would be filed, then again in October, and twice in Question Period when pressured by the opposition. A review of court documents on Friday revealed that no stay has been filed. Rustad said the stay was the single legal measure that could pause the ruling and protect homeowners in Richmond and across the province while appeals move forward. By...
