Working For The Clampdown

What could it be, you might be asking.

Why is there, apparently, going to be no fall legislative sitting in British Columbia?

Could it be that the government of Premier Gordon Campbell can't take the heat of question period now that there is a real opposition in the Ledge to ask about things like the twinning of the Port Mann, all those rosey budget projections now that natural gas prices are showing signs of softening, offshore gas explo(it)ration, the paving of the parks, the continuing disaster at the Ministry of Children and Families, and the privatization of everything.

Or is it really true that there is just nothing to do?

Could be a combination of all of the above I suppose.

But I can't help but wonder if maybe it has just as much to do with the possibility that a fall session would result in daily media scrums just as the premier (all puns intended) of the new reality show titled 'The Basi/Virk Trial' is set to begin Sept 18th?

Update: Paul Willcocks has a good analysis of the situation up and he concludes that, regardless the reasons, the public is ill-served by the cancellation.
