And So It Began...

Bob Mackin has finally, after much CClark regime playing out of the clock, unearthed the cabinet minutes from GordCo, Inc's first 100 days from the summer of 2001.

There's some interesting stuff in there as Uncle Bob has noted over at his place.

However, most of it, at least the portions that haven't been s.14 censored, is banal in the extreme.

Although it was interesting to see when, exactly, the BC Liberal government first started to plan their war on teachers' collective bargaining rights.

With the first tentative 'informative' shot apparently fired by, you guessed it....

No mention, at least not that I noticed based on a fast (non-ferried) first pass, of the coming BC Rail privatization....Although, as we previously noted, things were already starting to happen on that front by the fall of 2001 a scant few months after BC Rail hired a certain very, very fine fellow (who also just happened to have been the BC Liberal party's campaign co-chair during the 2001 election cycle) to provide it with 'strategic advice' at $6,000 per months for a mere 49 months...Imagine that!
The last link, above, comes from the invaluable historical archives of Sean Holman's now long gone 'Public Eye'...As you might expect, Mr. Holman, who now lives east of the Rockies, already has a link to Mr. Mackin's latest up on his twittmachine feed.
