The judge will not allow reporting on the breach but it potentially could have been very minor, like grabbing an improptu coffee while out on a scheduled walk around the block. There's a strict limit on what he can do and everything must be planned out in advance.

No doubt it all feeds his sense of entitlement.

The question to Dave Basi was did he have connections to organized crime.

His answer was that "is an outrageous statement"

Some might suggest that he "is" organized crime

Here is nine minutes to think about.

What bothers me most about this is the fact that Tielman, "BC Mary" and other quasi-media folks have spent 100% of their time and effort over the past 7 years trying to turn the whole Basi-Virk issue into an impeachment of the Liberal party and until they can actually get to that point then they will never be happy. I could be wrong but I don't recall ever seeing one hint or suggestion of what we can do from a policy or procedural viewpoint to actually better identify and stop problems like this from happening in the future.

As I pointed out before, it was only a fluke that the BC Rail and ALC issues came to light. Issues of bid rigging, bribery and selling access are concerns across all parties and all levels of Government.

Thanks for posting this thread Sparky. I'd missed it earlier somehow. It's good to have a running record of events here.

^ You are welcome. I am attempting to share factual information without editorializing. I don't think this is over yet.

Here is an interesting couple of documents. A title search of one of Basi's houses, complete with the BC Government Mortgage.

Note the occupation stated for Dave Basi.

Basi signed my 1984 high school annual by saying "look me up if you ever need a good lawyer."

^ Does anyone know if he was "called to the bar" ?

Hi Sparky,

It's over two years since I visited this site and it looks as if we've become strangers! If you've visited MY site, you'll know that I've been careful from Day One in May 2006 to be NON-partisan. Why? Because I believe that huge provincial problems like the loss of BC Rail cannot be resolved by citizens squabbling with one another (Me good, You bad, etc).

I've been very straightforward in believing that Gordon Campbell is the author of devastating actions which have ravaged the province's assets and terrain. His responsibility. And not the least of his destructive deeds is the damage he has done to the Liberal Party of Canada.

Bloggers aren't your enemy, Sparky. In fact ... aren't you a blogger?

^ Just to be accurate Mary, the quote that you were referring to was posted by "Spanky123" not "Sparky" as you stated.

I am the good looking one.

While we are on the subject, I have read "almost" all of your blogs on the Basi Virk affair. (That was a lot of reading) There was some information that you have collected and posted that was really an eye opener, and appeared to be exclusive information. You must have a vast network of knowledgeable contributors.

I am still working on some loose ends about the "staying" of drug charges, and the relationships of those who were charged. Care to PM me and allow me ask you a couple of questions?

Dave Basi put on electronic monitoring this morning.

Wait until copies of the shredded emails start to surface.

[Sparky]

^ Is there an App for that?

The blogging world is a flutter with the news that came out of the recently released court documents.

Court documents appear to confirm that David Basi had unexplained income of over $800K between 2001 and 2004. His lawyer explained that that figure is really just over $100K as the rest of the unexplained income is attributed to his wife and mother.

Really? Are we supposed to believe that? Anyone care to guess how they ended up with $700K that they could not explain how they got it?

You are correct Bingo. Somebody somewhere has forgotten to delete an email.

Here is the ramblings of one blogger that is attempting to connect the dots. The key point now is what was Bruce Clark (Christy Clark's brother) doing with confidential BC Rail documents in his home? What was his connection with Dave Basi?
