Updated: Outspoken MLA Heed a no-show at caucus meeting
VANCOUVER/VICTORIA/CKNW (AM980)
Shane Woodford | Email news tips to shane.woodford@corusent.com
3/4/2013

One of the Liberal MLA's who has been among those unhappy with the way the party is going will not be in todays caucus meeting or at tomorrow's budget vote.


Kash Heed says he has family matters to deal with this week and won't be in Victoria even though his party faces a confidence vote tomorrow.


The second reading of the budget, a confidence matter, will be voted on Tuesday and without Heed the Liberals now hold only a four seat edge over the NDP and independents.

"Well certainly the whip was aware I was not going to be there so if they have made their arrangements to have sufficient numbers there for the vote you know that is his job but he did know I was not going to be in attendance in Victoria this week."

Heed was asked if he would have voted for or against the budget.

"I am not going to say because I am not there but where that goes I will leave it up to the voters on May the 14th to figure that out."

Heed says his opinion of various matters is quite clear and he doesn't need to be in caucus to air them to the Premier and party.

      @speakup For all I care, Heed could go to Inuvic and be the mayor. Listening to today's events, our wonderful province is governmentless. This is one festering mess. Heed, take Coleman with you! I am not certain even the temples can be as crooked as the Liberals.

    Why would an MLA need to be in causus? (Sarcasm)

      @poli_sci101 * caucus
    2. speakup posted on 03/04/2013 01:23 PM
      @poli_sci101 I am sure if he is there or not
      he still collects our TAX DOLLAR paycheque!

      and after all - he is quite clear........
      except when he has to answer questions about his credibility
      OOPS - wasn;t me
      as his culture teaches him - the blame game
      blame someone else!
      after all he was a COP - he must be credible - hahahahahaha
      oh - today's news..... just so much fun

    I think I'll try that one on my boss. Boss, I don't feel like coming in to work today, I've got family matters to deal with......yeah.....that's it!

    My boss it great that way. He'll just tell me to take as much time as I want. He'll just call Bob.

    Gives new meaning to "when the going gets tough, the tough get going".

    Others will say he's a hero for putting his family first.

    Ironically, if he'd flown to Victoria for today's meeting, then flown home for his family matters, and flown back for any vote that may occur...we'd complaining about him running up the airmiles.

    If he'd gone to Victoria, and news of some family business being ignored got out, he'd be vilafied for that.

    Once in the public eye, you can't win no matter what you do at times.

    He is collecting a government (taxpayer funded) salary, he should be there, unless the family matter is a matter of life and death.
    1. Ron_26 posted on 03/04/2013 02:22 PM
      @NewKat It looks doubtful since his missing-in-action was pre-planned.
    2. poli_sci101 posted on 03/04/2013 02:29 PM
      @NewKat I agree. Is "family matters" defined anywhere? This could mean any number of things.
  7. joes_2868 posted on 03/04/2013 02:58 PM
    This is his way of getting even for being sent back to the back benches from his cabinet position.
    This is going to happen with Adrian Dix too if he wins government.
    There are only so many cabinet positions to be given out and then you sit just as a back bencher.
    The revolt will start with some who will not agree to sit as a back bencher, just like the two back benchers on this news site, namely, Ken280, the readers consultant, a man with a briefcase 50 miles away from home, and of course bctaxpayer.
    1. commonsense posted on 03/04/2013 04:39 PM
      @joes_2868 joe, you have it wrong. Dix believes in more government, so they will all have a cabinet position.

      @joes_2868 Cry baby thumper! You Con in a grouse wig, you know that pinko tutu look so good on you!! Here come Johnny with his *eck* in his hand, the one b*ll man taken you all off to the rodeo! with a thump, thump, here and a thump thump there! Thumper Joes & and J cumming hahaha!

    Kash Heed is appearing on Family Matters? Is Urkel still the main caracter on that show?
    1. poli_sci101 posted on 03/04/2013 03:13 PM
      @SpiltB Urkel is now played by Christy Clark.

      "Oops! Did I do that?"

      @SpiltB He is staying away and there just might be 4 others that won't support the budget! Hooray for Bollywood, with the cash heed the stallion! hahaha! Go NDP Go

    Ken, the readers would like to know if you were kicked in the head when you used to kick box.
    Your commentaries really show there is something wrong affecting your brains.

    "GO NDP GO" I don't think so. I am contacting all B.C. Chamber of Commerce offices in the province as they do most of the all candidates meetings during provincial elections.
    The question I am asking them to put forward, is to ask every NDP candidate, WHY SHOULD TAXPAYERS VOTE FOR THE NDP WHEN THE NDP IS DESTROYING MANITOBA AND NOVA SCOTIA?

    Ken280: The readers consultant, a man with a briefcase 50 miles away from home.
    68 electorial ridings will stay the same as they are now come May 13, 2013. There are 17 swing ridings that can go either way.
    These 17 ridings are not married to either the Liberals or the NDP like you are married to the NDP.
    At the present time, 10 of these ridings are Liberal, 6 are NDP, and 1 is Independent.
    I know your brains are affected from kick boxing, but use facts and reality before shooting from the hip and blowing gaskets.
    You already have Mike Farnworth on payroll to do this for you.

    Ken, please tell the readers why Adrian Dix is bringing in Brian Topp to be the NDP campaign manager.
    This man had a major scandal in Saskatchewan when he fabricated a legal document to cover up a major sale blunder of a energy company owned by the taxpayers of Saskatchewan, when he was deputy chief to former NDP premier of Saskatchewan, Roy Romanow.
    Give us a detailed explanation as from a consultants point of view.

    Ken280: The readers consultant, a man with a briefcase 50 miles away from home.
    Ken, please tell the readers why you believe in living a life of double standards.
    Are you religious? Are you listening to the Pope who also does the same. Preaches about birth control, but does not practice it.
    You Ken, preach one thing and do the exact opposite when it comes to your hip pocket.
    Please explain to the readers in detail why you do this.

    Ken280: The readers consultant, a man with a briefcase 50 miles away from home.
    Ken, your NDP in Manitoba says that they do not need the HST.
    Please tell the readers then why do they keep adding more and more to the PST.
    The Manitoba NDP government has now added PST to all purchases in RESTAURANTS AND BARS.
    That is you pay PST plus GST.
    Come April 1, 2013, B.C. will only pay the GST on these purchases.
    Go and check NDP MANITOBA tax list of PST items that here in B.C., will no longer have PST included come April 1, 2013.
    DON'T REPLY BY SAYING THAT YOU DON'T CARE WHAT HAPPENS IN ANOTHER PROVINCE.
    NDP IS NDP ACROSS CANADA.
    ONCE A SUCKER ALWAYS A SUCKER!

    Ken please explain to the readers why the NDP in Nova Scotia is going to be a one time wonder just like the Dave Barrett NDP government in B.C. and the Bob Rae NDP government in Ontario.

    Ken, please explain to the readers why when the provincial election was called in Saskatchewan, the official opposition party, the NDP had 20 seats and after the election had only 9 seats left and even the NDP leader lost his seat.
    Kind of odd doing this to a party, already the opposition party going into the election.
    The readers would like a consultant's point of view.

    Ken, please explain to the readers, why the NDP in Ontario the third party in province with 17 seats out of a total of 108 does not want another provincial election.
    Maybe scared of losing some of the 17 seats?

    Ken please explain to the readers, why Saskatchewan was once home to TOMMY DOUGLAS COUNTRY, THE FAMOUS NDP'ER OF ALL TIME, does not today have one elected federal NDP member.
    Are the Saskatchewan taxpayers telling the rest of Canada, something is very bad about the NDP?

      @joes_2868 Why? Is it that important what he thinks? I for one don't care nearly as much as you seem to.
