This Day In Snookland...Why Didn't They Just Have A Really Big Toga Party Instead?

Well, well, well...

It would appear that the executive pay flim-flammery that current advanced education minister Mr. Virk was involved in as a board member at Kwantlen may not have been limited to two 'pre-contracts':

Cassidy Olivier has the story in The Province:

The president of Kwantlen Polytechnic University has ordered an internal review of the school’s executive compensation practices in light of fresh evidence suggesting other senior executives at the university were awarded contract bonuses that may have violated provincial regulations...

{snippety doo-dah}

The probe’s launch comes on the heels of a scathing government report released last week that found the university twice violated provincial disclosure rules when it failed to report two $50,000 “pre-employment contracts” it awarded to two senior executives, one of them being Davis.

{snippety doodle-dandy}

The Kwantlen probe also comes amid new disclosures, not mentioned in the Mingay report, that show two other senior staffers were offered $20,000 pre-employment consulting contracts, which were handled in similar manner to the ones detailed in the government report...


Where'd Mr. Cassidy get his stuff?

Why, none other than the Dippers' Mr. Eby.

And, personally, I like the fact that this is not coming from 'anonymous sources'.

another Virk in the news...

“As we understand it — the special prosecutor approached with a suggestion. Defence counsel reported that although they did not think, even if the trial went through, their clients would be found guilty, they didn’t want to even offer the plea to Mr. Basi and Mr. Virk unless there was a (waiver).“

Thanks Anon--

The 'waiver' is, in my humble opinion, the 'key'.

More on that to come...
