I would like the chance to present a more balanced view for Mick Black, who submitted the letter “Attacks cut both ways” to the Western News Feb. 4.
Mick, it is impossible to explain the seven-year, $6 million B.C. Rail scandal — you see it was a cover up where the truth may never be known. Maybe you could ask Christy Clark or her involved husband at the time, or the shameful Gordon Campbell, for the truth, and perhaps you can share the truth with the public.
As far as the RCMP investigating, I suggest you take that with a grain of salt, along with the cop-investigating-cop technique they so enjoy. Four members of our beloved RCMP are still not clear of the death of Robert Dziekanski, who died needlessly at the Vancouver airport some years ago. Seems the four amigos involved may have perjured themselves into another future spotlight of truth or consequences.
Then there is the ongoing saga of Picton who lured women to their death at his piggery? A member of the RCMP recently apologized in public for the shameful way the disappearance of women from Vancouver’s East End was handled from the get go.
Just to let you know, I detest all of those slime bag attacks, as not one of them will tell me where to put my X, except perhaps at the toe of my boot.
