RailGate Unravelling...Is Everything Missing?

HidingInPlain
SightVille

First we found out the Emails were missing.

Now it appears that a whole bunch of invoices that should have been generated as a result of the fine work that the very fine Mr. Patrick Kinsella and/or his company Progressive Holdings did for BC Rail are, apparently, nowhere to be found.

Mr. Tieleman, reporting from the courtroom has the story, which includes, in my opinion at least, the bogus argument from Mr. Kinsella's lawyer, James Sullivan about why BC Rail documents connected to his client should NOT be allowed to see the light of day:

Sullivan told (RailGate judge) Bennett that release of the documents could beh (sic) harmful to Kinsella's business.

"Mr. Kinsella is not a government official or a public figure. He's a private citizen who relies upon his good reputation for his business," Sullivan said. "Mr. Kinsella, it must be stressed, is not a party to these proceedings."



But here's the thing Mr. Sullivan......

BC Rail is a PUBLIC company!

Therefore, the PUBLIC has a right to know.

Why?

Because that means that Mr. Kinsella was paid with the PUBLIC's money.

Not John McLernon's money....

Or.

Gary Collins' money....

Or.

Judith Reids' money......

Or

Martyn Brown's money....

Or.

Ken Dobell's money....

Or, Godess forbid.....

Gordon Campbell's money!

OK?

Please note: In my description above I most certainly did NOT write 'paid-off'......Why did I not do so? Because that would be nothing more than crazy talk, and we sure wouldn't want any thing like that happening in this, the 'Best Place On Earth' to turn public assets into private gold.....Right?
