Why has the commissioner not already recused himself??!!! If he does not know what a 'conflict of interest' he is in here he should NOT be Conflict of Interest Commissioner. Appalling!

He’s a BC Liberal supporter.

VAn Dongen should recind his complaint until after the election and a new government is brought in....the logistics of this move are endless, he is in a no win situation right now because of Slurpees longstanding relationship with the Fraser family....

John you've spent 100 k on this of personal money, Im on your side and I know this whole BCR scandal sucks and yes she was highly involved, but buddy let the NDP run with it through an IMAPARTIAL inquiry, something your not going to get at this point especially months before an election...if you loose, it only looks good on her pre election, your risking her reputation pre vote...dont take the risk, let it sit for a few months and we will get the real story.....your making it look extremely personal handling it this way...the 100k you have spent dont look good on you my friend....it reeks of personal vendetta

Everybody grow up! A new government of Adrian Dix. Would the NDP government repeal the secret ballot for union certification? That's an open conversation," says labour critic Shane Simpson. Official NDP policy position: Maybe, Maybe not.
NDP MLA Jagrup Brar went on welfare for a month and pronounced the rates "unacceptable". So would the NDP raise the rates? We'll have to look at that," said NDP critic Carole James. Official NDP policy position: Maybe, Maybe not.
Would the NDP raise income taxes? "We're looking at it," Dix said. "Will we look at it at the high income level before an election? We'll look at that, but I think you have to take a look at the impact on the economy and make a decision about that. "Official position: Maybe, Maybe not.
Would the NDP give teachers a big raise? "The government should negoitiate in good faith," Dix said. What about the standard reading, writing and math tests the teachers hate so much? We need a government to work with teachers, student, and parents to find solutions." Dix said. Official position. Well, you get the idea.
Dix's doubletalk is working like a charm so far. By just standing there, saying nothing and looking reasonable and non-threatening, he has built a huge lead in the polls. Bob Simpson says Dix is setting himself up for a fall.
Sure, he can win the election in May, Simpson says. But if he starts pulling surprises on the the public once he's in power, people will say, Wait. You didn't talk about this. You have no mandate to do this.
He should have the courage of his convictions. He should say precisely what he would do, and I don't just mean in an election platform brochure many months from now. He should say it now and say it often so it sinks in with people and voters are under no illusions. If Dix dosen't want to be a one hit wonder and one term premier, he needs to earn a clear mandate from voters. They deserve to know exactly where he stands. STARTING NOW.
Bob Simpson also said the NDP caucus are secretly pleased the people's house will be dark this fall. He says they did not want to expose Adrian Dix to intense media scrums day after day. They know the wriggle room is getting smaller and eventually he's going to get pinned in a corner. They are breathing a sigh of relief!
Jim SinClair is the main man with a NDP government. All cabinet decisions would have to go through him before approval can be made. Right now with the EnBridge pipeline, Jim we all know regardless of his major faults is into job creation, but will not comment on this pipeline because it would interfere with Adrian Dix's direct answer of NO pipeline. There seems to be a rift right now between Adrian and Jim.
This whole EnBridge pipeline discussion is going about in the wrong way. Taxpayers flock to the lottery booth every weekend to buy lottery tickets when the odds are out of this world. Called brain damage. The winning lottery is this this pipeline.
The NDP have given a direct NO to the pipeline. The government has left the option open upon consideration of a 5 point plan. Now if the 5 point plan did pass with flying colours and the option of royalities to B.C. would increase now comes the winning lottery.
Construction would supply a very large number of good paying union jobs. Hotels, restaurants, machine shops, parts suppliers, etc. close to the pipeline construction would see revenues like they haven't seen before. The very old days of the construction boom would be back.
The government has to inform the taxpayers that if B.C. does get its share of the royalities, then the taxpayers would have to consider on two options, but not both. The first option would be that the royalities be used to FUND MORE MONEY TO HEALTH AND EDUCATION, LOWER THE INCOME TAXES, REDUCE THE PROVINCIAL SALES TAX, AND ELIMINATE THE MONTHLY BC MEDICAL PREMIUMS.
The second option would be the way it is done in the state of Alaska. ALL RESIDENTS OF B.C. THAT HAVE A CONFIRMED LIVING RESIDENCE ADDRESS WOULD RECEIVE A YEARLY TAX FREE DIVIDEND CHEQUE TO ANYONE AGED 18 AND OVER. THE AVERAGE DIVIDEND PAYMENT IN ALASKA HAS BEEN $1108.45 PER YEAR.
Taxpayers would then have to decide what option they would prefer.
Now the clincher. A PROVINCE WIDE REFERENDUM WOULD HAVE TO BE HELD. THREE QUESTIONS ON THE REFERENDUM.
QUESTION ONE: DO YOUR APPROVE OF THE ENBRIDGE PIPELINE? YES? NO?
QUESTION TWO: DO YOU WANT OPTION ONE? YES? NO?
QUESTION THREE: DO YOU WANT OPTION TWO? YES? NO?

Leave the whole decision in the hands of the voting taxpayer. Whatever the result is, would be considered FINAL. Never to discussed again.

Accidents, yes they will happen, An oil spill is nothing compared to that earthquate that might happen one day.
Keep buying those lost cause LOTTERY TICKETS, but the true lottery is the EnBridge pipeline
LIFE IS TAKING CHANCES. WE ALL ONLY LIVE ONCE. THE RACE IN LIFE IS A LONG ONE. IT IS ONLY WITH YOURSELF. YOUR CHANCES ARE ONLY AT HALF MAST. SO IS EVERYONE ELSES.
