Peter Fassbender nose dives before election



Normally vandalizing election signs is in bad taste but this one was rather humorous. A coworker told me that someone had cut out the F in one of Peter Fassbender's election signs leaving it to read Assbender. Somewhat amusing given the disdain for him in this riding.

In contrast, Chuck Cadman was a local politician well respected and admired. He started off Reform after launching his own nonprofit group CRY - Crime Responsibility Youth calling for greater accountability within the young offenders act. After Chuck Cadman was screwed over by Stephen Harper twice, he ran as an independent and won his seat comfortably.

When Chuck Cadman died of cancer, all over Surrey people started posting his election signs they had saved with the slogan RIP Chuck Cadman and We love You Chuck. Chuck Cadman was so respected because he wasn't a dirty politicians like most of the others. He was someone who genuinely cared. Peter Fassbender in contrast is a complete sleazebag.

Then came Linda. A new social media storm that launched when a BC voter saw Christie Clark in the Grocery store and said she wouldn't be voting for her. Initially Christy Clark's response was fine, stating that's the perk of living in a democracy, but then they went on and on about how it was a NDP plant. They had to backtrack on that statement when they were proven wrong.

This election is going to be a little too close to call. Last election the NDP were ahead in the polls and the public panicked with all the fear based propaganda. That is something I would like to address. No political party is perfect. The NDP has it's strengths and weaknesses like any other. Yet this tax and spend fraud has to stop. The BC Liberal Party has been bad to the bone since Gordon Campbell. Christy Clark was a small step forward but the party did not change and she was quickly consumed in the greed and the poison kool aid.

Its not often BC political corruption makes the New York Times. Everyone says the NDP will tax and spend but their past history with BC Hydro tells a different story. When it comes to tax and spend, the BC Liberals are by far the greatest offenders in recorded history.

Spending obscene amounts of tax dollars on advertising follows the Stephen Harper model of pork barrel politics. Brian Mulroney was suposed to be right wing. He was suposed to be fiscally responsible. He was anything but. His tax and spend gluttony brought in the GST. Likewise, the BC Liberals have brought in a 10 cents a litre regional gas tax, a Translink that burns a billion dollars a year in taxes begging for more and a BC Hydro deferred debt that is off the charts.

I oppose pork barrel tax and spend politics. That is why I oppose the BC Liberals. We need to address BC Hydro's growing deferred debt. The only way to do that is by nationalizing the power brokers that sell power to BC Hydro at above market rates. While we are at it, nationalizing our oil would simply be good business for consumers and tax payers alike.

Postmedia's credibility cover up



I was going to bite my tongue and let this one slide but once again curiosity killed the cat. Lately the local newspapers have been running a full page ad over top the front page of the paper. The other day the Vancouver Province ran a full page ad before the papers front page which was a letter from the Editor in Chief of the Vancouver Sun and the Vancouver Province Harold Munro.

The letter was a declaration of how the Vancouver Province is committed to telling the truth and speaking out for the vulnerable while they champion the underdog and stand up to those in authority who can make it right. "That has always been our promise to you. We won't stop now."

The first question that came to my mind when I read that is what credibility meltdown did I miss that warranted such a bold declaration? Was it the Peter Leask cover up because in that case they broke everyone of their promises.

All of those past pledges described Wayne Moriarty but something changed when Harold Munro from the Vancouver Sun took over the Vancouver Province. The newspaper has become dare I say, corporate. Now I don't want to be a hater. My employer subscribes to the Vancouver Province and I want them to continue doing so. It's just that I find this full page ad promising to return to the values of yesteryear suspicious.

It reminds me of that quote from Shakespeare "The lady doth protest too much, methinks" which suggests that someone who is strongly denying something is hiding the truth.

The new Vancouver Province has cast aside Wayne Moriarty's voice of reason and is spamming the public with the pharmaceutical company's golden fraud of prescription heroin. Nothing could be more insane. If the new Vancouver Province is still committed to telling the truth and fighting for the underdog, why did they make Kim Bolan take down her blog post about Peter Leask? Nothing she said was untrue. Tim Petruk was rock solid. If they fire him then we know their pledge is fake. Let's hope they stand by it in the future.

Hamilton mobster shot dead outside his home



CBC is reporting that "Angelo Musitano, a member of Hamilton's notorious Musitano crime family, has been gunned down outside his suburban Hamilton home. Police say multiple shots were fired at Musitano as he pulled in to the driveway of his home in Waterdown late in the afternoon. He was in the vehicle when he was hit, said police. When emergency crews arrived he was already without vital signs. He was later pronounced dead in hospital. He was 39."

The Star dot com is reporting that Angelo Musitano is the brother of Pat Musitano. Together they were charged with first-degree murder in the 1997 contract killing of Hamilton mob boss Johnny Papalia. Angelo Musitano great-uncle fled Delianova, Italy, a village in Calabria and cam to Canada in 1937. The Calabrians in Hamilton were behind the war o the rizzutos in Montreal.

Undercover cop Bob Deasy became Pasquale (Fat Pat) Musitano's driver and wrote a book about his experiences takling organized crime in Ontaraio called Being Uncle Charlie: A Life Undercover with Killers, Kingpins, Bikers and Druglords. Bob Deasy's court case against claimed that Several Hamilton police officers have ties to organized crime and the Hells Angels. Manning also names a Toronto officer he alleges was selling guns to Toronto gang members.

Dirty ATF Agent kept his job



US Senator Chuck Grassy reported that ATF Agents linked to ‘Fast and Furious’ Still Employed despite Agency Recommendation. The ATF’s Professional Review Board recommended that Special Agent William Newell be terminated from federal service. This Pencil neck prick was the clown on the feild in charge of Operation Fast and Furious. He was the spin doctor sent in to rationalize the ATF's involvement in the CIA Operation that was selling guns to the Mexican cartel and bringing back tons of cocaine into the US as payment. After heads began to roll and scapegoats started to fall, Newell was *reassigned* to ATF Headquarters. (They gave the POS a promotion) Special Agent William Newell wins the Gangsters out Dirtbag of the Year award. Prick.

David Revell's deportation hearing



Dave Revell was a Hells Angels associate in Kelowna that was convicted of cocaine trafficking for David Giles. As I reported last February, after being charged in numerous domestic assaults he is now facing a deportation hearing because he is originally from the UK. Many other gang members from other countries have recently been deported and it would be hypocritical for the crown to deport them without deporting Dave Revell just because he's from the UK.

I understand that the BC Civil Liberties Union is opposing the crown's argument that the Canadian Charter of Rights does not apply to Dave Revell because he is not a Canadian citizen. I agree with their position on that. The intent of the Canadian Charter of Rights is that it should apply to all people not just Canadian citizens. However, I completely disagree with the BCCLU's opposition to the deportation because selling cocaine and beating women is not a charter right.

Steroids and grow ops don't concern me but stalking and assaulting women does. Davel Revell is a piece of garbage and no nonprofit organization with any credibility or integrity would support him.

The Cory Vallee murder trial



Kim Bolan has been giving some pretty extensive coverage of the Cory Vallee murder trial. There has been some interesting statements made by the police informant under cross examination.

First Kim reported that "An ex-United Nations gangster denied in B.C. Supreme Court Monday that he lied about a conversation in which he says accused killer Cory Vallee admitted a role in the murder of a rival. The man, who can only be identified as D, told Justice Janie Dillon earlier Monday that Vallee nodded and smiled after D made a cryptic reference to the fatal shooting of Kevin LeClair on Feb. 6, 2009."

"But defence lawyer Eric Gottardi suggested there is no way D would have broken the UN code to ask someone in the gang about a murder. At the time of the LeClair killing, you weren’t close enough in relationship to Cory Vallee where he would tell you his real name and yet you purport to tell this court that he was close enough that he would somehow indicate to you his involvement in the murder. Is that your evidence? D replied: Yes."

OK so let's back it up here. The informant didn't even know the accused's real name. The whole testimony relies on the claim that the informant made a cryptic reference to the fatal shooting of Kevin LeClair and the acused nodded and smiled according to the police informant that was paid $300,000.00 for his testimony. That's a pretty weak case.

No offense. Kevin was a good guy who had a bad friend. He didn't deserve to die. Yet the crown's case here is awfully vague. The crown claims As Vallee sipped his soup, D said: “I just looked at him and I said `Everything went OK? And then he just kind of looked up at me and nodded and gave a smile, yep, and he just went back to eating his soup.” I don't really see that as a confession to the murder.

Kim later reported that "A former United Nations gangster admitted in B.C. Supreme Court Tuesday that he lied to police for years when he was immersed in the criminal underworld.

"Gottardi pointed to instances in statements D had given to police even after he became a confidential informant in April 2009 where he had lied." Gottardi said D enjoyed manipulating police and saw his interaction with them as “a game.” He showed D a September 2009 statement in which D falsely claimed that he was not a member of the UN. “I take it you will agree with me that you have lied to the police many, many times?” Gottardi asked. Replied D: “Yes, I have over the course of my life lied to the police many, many times.”

Next "Gottardi pointed D to copies of encrypted emails he wrote to his UN pal Amir Eghtesad about a plan to rob a UN associate known as Duke. In the emails, D told Eghtesad that he was going to befriend Duke to make it easier to target him for robbery. This wasn't a rival this was an associate he was planning to rob. So the defense has established three things. First the informant is a dirt bag who planned on robbing an associate. Second that the informant is a liar who has admitted to lying to the police many many times. Third, the whole confession was so vague it really has no merit. On top of that his conclusion is the real kicker.

Lastly Kim Bolan reported that "An ex-United Nations gangster paid $300,000 to testify against his former brothers said Thursday that if he could go back in time, he would never have cooperated with police."

After the defense lawyer claimed the informant was really just in court for the money the informant replied: “And I will say sir that I would happily, if possible, pay back multiple times the money I was paid if I could go back in time and change my mind and not do this. Because I wholeheartedly 100 per cent regret it and would not recommend it to anybody.”

Well, well, well, kinda like we've said all along. If you want to leave the life just leave. Don't become a police informant. It just isn't worth it. Although Kevin was a nice guy, the court was told that he used to sell drugs for the UN but crossed over with the Swine flu when they broke off and were supplied by the Hells Angels. He was a nice guy who sold drugs and betrayed his crew for the red and white. Where's the L&R in that? It's all about the money.

Most overdoses on Welfare wednesday ever recorded



Global is reporting that "The B.C. opioid crisis has reached a new level, with authorities confirming Wednesday was the worst day on record for overdoses in the province. B.C. Emergency Health Services says April 26 - or this month’s “Welfare Wednesday” - had more overdose calls in a single day than ever recorded. There were 130 calls for overdose responses in total, nine more than the previous record date of Nov. 20, 2016."

This is in exact contradiction to previous reports the spin doctors were spamming the media with claiming that drug overdoses no longer spike on Welfare wednesday. The only reason it didn't spike in Surrey is because they started staggering the cheques so not everyone gt their checks on the same day. They are still using their welfare cheques to buy drugs.

Recently Surrey Crime reported that as soon as someone cashed their welfare cheque in Surrey they overdosed on fentanyl. Addicts are lining up to buy tainted drugs with their welfare cheques. We are giving the addicts money to buy drugs and are watching the predatory drug dealers selling them tainted drugs which is literally killing them without raising a finger to arrest the drug dealers for selling tainted drugs. That is not social justice. It is insane, illegal and immoral.

Update: CTV is reporting that "BC Emergency Health Services says it responded to 109 suspected overdoses around B.C. on Thursday, with 71 of those calls coming from the Vancouver Coastal and Fraser health districts, within Metro Vancouver. Preet Grewal says the service answered 130 suspected overdose calls that day, adding it was too early to tell how many may have been linked to powerful opioids such as fentanyl. She says the spike coincided with the monthly release of social assistance cheques, and the service is prepared for a challenging weekend." The spike in overdoses is directly related to when the adicts receive their government assistance cheques. People need food and homes not drugs especially tainted drugs.

Renegotiating NAFTA



The Huffington Post is reporting that Donald Trump has agreed to renegotiate NAFTA as oposed to puling out completely. Terminating NAFTA is in everyone's best interest. If they are going to negotiate it, then Chapter 11 Compensation awards is the first thing that has to go. That clause has nothing to do with free trade and everything to do with giving up sovereignty and democracy. If they dont eliminate Chapter 11 then this whole moving forward claim is just one great big fraud.



On the lighter side, Oregon Live is reporting that "The Portland Timbers took on the Vancouver Whitecaps on Sunday at Providence Park, and ahead of kickoff, the Timbers Army support group unfurled a tifo that references the 1996 movie "Mars Attacks," a Tim Burton film starring Jack Nicholson. 'Destroy the Canadian Menace' dominated the stands, and was punctuated by the smaller "Do Not Run We Are Your Friends" banner. Both are lines from the movie, where the premise is Earth is invaded by Martians and the question is do they want to take over or are they just misunderstood?" That was pretty funny.

There has always been a healthy rivalry between Canada and the United States but it has always been in good fun and in good taste. Unlike back in England where football hooligan will use mob violence to fight with opposing fans. I was there and saw that at a Chelsea versus West Ham game once. That was wild so it was. Evidently I was wearing the wrong colours and got into several fights as a result. At least with the Americans we know they're mostly joking.

Greetings USA: We are the Canadian Menace. Please don't be offended when we kick your ass at the 2018 Winter Olympics. It's nothing personal. We're just taking care of business yo.

BTW Vin Diesel appeared with Nicky Jam at the 2017 Billboard Latin Music Awards.

Prescription heroin will destroy public healthcare



More lunatics are calling out for prescription heroin again. The paper cited one doctor of death as saying we need to think outside the box when it comes to the fentanyl crisis. No we don't. We simply need to give our head a shake. Not arresting the drug dealers who are selling fentanyl is not only insane, it is criminal culpability.

When I make consistent objections to our failed harm promotion system people ask me what do I suggest. I suggest the obvious - the other three pillars they threw away: Enforcement, Treatment and Prevention. The extremists talked about the four pillars program but as soon as we adopted them they threw away three of the most important pillars and charged off on a one legged horse which has seen harm reduction become harm promotion since it creates more addicts not less.

I support the New York Model because I saw it. I was there. Now the pharmaceutic fraudsters are quoting the Portugal model to rationalize the decriminalization of all drugs in hopes of providing prescription heroin at taxpayers expense. That is the most insane quest known to man. Public health care is not a Communist plot to overthrow the free world, prescription heroin is.

Think about it, if we provide addicts prescription heroin at taxpayers expense when will it end? Right now the pharmaceutical fraud has greatly profited from the methadone scam. They put addicts on methadone at taxpayers expense but never reduce the dosage turning them into lifelong methadone addicts. That money could go to buying homes not drugs.

Prescription heroin isn't just insane it is down right evil. That act of insanity will bankrupt our public healthcare system faster than you can say God help us. You can't get an mri or cancer medication but you can get free heroin. That is disgusting.

This Portugal model succeeded because of treatment not because of harm promotion. They spent tax dollars putting addicts into treatment instead of simply buying them more drugs. Extremists are now quoting the Portugal model in the same way they quoted the four pillars in the beginning which created this epidemic. They want to adopt decriminalization and throwaway everything else they did in Portugal that worked so they can continue their promotion of the drug trade at taxpayers expense. That is not something I could ever support. I support the New york Model.

Enforcement: enforce the law - arrested the drug dealers not the addicts. Treatment - spend money on treatment for addicts not more flop houses where they can buy more drugs while they are on methadone. Prevention: educate the public on the harmful effects of drugs so we stop using tax dollars to turn human beings into zombies. That is not compassion or social justice.

Wayne Moriarty nailed it. Dr. Colin Mangham is the real addiction expert.

Domestic violence skyrockets in Edmonton



The Edmonton Journal is reporting that there has been a huge spike in domestic violence over the last two years. Global reported that there were 7,849 cases of domestic violence reported to Edmonton police in 2014 so this dramatic rise is above and beyond that.
