Farce upon farce. Only contempt of court is taken up seriously. All other cases against high and mighty put off for months.

When filing they leave some issue for the accused to argue and escape. Good BC lawyers . All the high profile cases will end this way. It is I scratch your back you scratch my back policy

Although they cannot do a proper case, yesterday had a grand ceremony about a 5 year action plan. All rogues were invited for that

Why are these Government Servants who are also being given perks and privileges be paid and either undertake work they are not capable of or do nothing but be happy with their pay? Result here is finally zero and the public have to pay for these servants to enjoy?
