Why Kash Heed quit again as B.C.'s solicitor general

Gordon Campbell has lost all respect and credibility in this province. He needs to step down NOW.

Why would BC want Kash Heed as top cop, he can't be trusted as he has shown time and time again as a cop leaving the force with allegations that where never addressed thanks to Campbell who seen fit to ensure Heed goes scott free, and it looks like Campbell is up to his old tricks again as he hires Heed back on the job, the inside job because why else would the premier make him the top cop. Coleman tipps of premier about investigation of BC Rail and what was going down so apparently Solicator General also makes a great six man.

The whole game of politics is nothing but a joke, they lie in order to get elected and lie & cheat some more to get further ahead and help their buddies while we all bend over and take it up the you know where. And it surprising why voter turnout is so low...come on man people are figuring it out, why bother voting the only change that takes place is some other tool will be preparing to stick it to us all. WHAT A JOKE!

One would have expected Kash Heed to be the last to voluntarily step down. He now appears to have less mud on his face than the special prosecutor and the Premier.

All this mud can now settle to the bottom, well in advance of the next election.

What do you expect in British Columbia?

We have had ten years rule by an evil empire, except now it is an empire going mad.

Forget corruption in the BC government we should be looking at issues of severe mental illness.

If I had to share accomodation with Premier Norman Bates, I would keep the bathroom door locked when I had a shower.

And if the Speaker of the House is smart he will too.

The situation is far worse than being presented (if that is possible). This is not the first time Special Prosecutors in the AG's office have appeared in various forms of 'conflict'.

Mike de Jong is the AG -- he became Solicitor General when Kash Heed first resigned and made the new drinking driving policy (not law) in that capacity -- yet Special Prosecutors are appointed--(and NDP Farnworth has called for another Special Prosecutor) (which I suggest is no solution) in de Jong's 'primary' job as AG -- and not his seconday job as SG (or vica versa) -- however and whenever Kash Heed has resigned or not.

The Attorney General Mike de Jong ought to have known about the conflict with Special Prosecutor Terry Robertson --(and) the police asked about Mr. Robertson's potential conflict on the front end.

This conflict with the Special Prosecutor --who has now resigned after conviently permitted Kash Heed off the hook for the slimy campaign literature (I'm Kash Heed and I approve of this message//I'm Kash Heed what do you mean//what message??)--and the fallout from lawyer Robertson's financial donaton to the BC Liberals--is ultimately the responsibility of the Attorney General. How do we not know that Attorney General Mike de Jong did not foresee this coming and knowing that a leadership race for the BC Liberals will be coming soon -- one could make the argument that de Jong saw an opportunity to stain a potential leadership rival in Kash Heed?

With Mike de Jong as politically 'guilty' as Kash Heed (and the press chasing exclusively the Kash Heed ball in front of them) -- why would Mike de Jong be directed back again to Solicitor General and at whose direction is this? (Isn't the BC Rail starting up soon?) Should we have a conflicted AG's office and minister---governing both AG (law) and SG (courts)?

We are way -- way past ridiculous with Gordon Campbell's government-- doesn't the manner in which lawyer/special special special prosecutor Terry Robertson handled this Kash Heed fiasco seem to mirror the entire BC provincial general election lies about the HST?

I would suggest that a very different person must be installed as Solicitor General (and AG too) then Mike de Jong -- AG -- or SG or AG and SG -- now AG and SGdoes not have any credibility.

Why is Mike de Jong not being squeezed?

The industry of politics in the province of British Columbia right at this moment in time has no credibility/it is bankrupt--effectively (only) the bureaucracy is in charge of the government.

Campbell being in Europe or out of town is no longer a viable excuse -- we have nearly a decade of him pulling this stunt-- and then splitting town--until the heats dies down -- like John Dillinger. The heat has turned into a political fireball--demand Campbell return and explain what is going on with this government. There is nothing else he can be doing -- that matters -- everyone has lost confidence in him and his government -- what is he going to do? Who speaks for the government now -- NDP minister Mike Farnworth? Where is the Carole James press conference?

This type of political / legal mess must be explained more quickly than this--the province cannot afford to run on the stall and distract style of government--now the press has to move in on Campbell and de Jong and squeeze tight -- like choking.

Canada's Constitution demands Peace, Order and Good Government -- and this is underscored by the Parliamentary demand for responsible government -- not just irresponsible in the obvious sense--but responsible to the Legislature and the people--.

The federal attorney general and public safety minister needs to take steps to secure at a minimum the Solicitor General's office -- particularly in light of the BC Rail (the raid on the BC Legislature) is made secure -- this can only become worse with the current batch of bad actors in control--(or lack thereof).

Very Dangerous -- waters. Ring the alarm--

We need a new party. The BC Liberals are bloody psychopathic, the NDP are degenerates and the Greens are impotent at best.

More that this, we need to reformulate our democracy. Proportional representation, civic education within high school, and the integration of social networking/internet into the political process. Lets get real folks. We are using a 400 year old system in the 21st century. Don't get me wrong, I like Parliamentary democratic systems, but to say we cannot use modern technology in order to increase democracy and civic engagement is absurd.

I have been watching the ups and downs and comings and goings in Victoria since about 1960. I have never seen anything quite like this episode.

The BC Govt is becoming a sit-com.

I dont think Campbell cares. he do what he wants till election year and decide on what he wants ore to do. I think he will pull the plug so right now he don't care!!!!

That cop who was selling pot is out on bail and out of work. Maybe he'd be interested in the job?
