"Every Cloud has a Silver Lining": Cloud over BC Liberals' "Ethnogate", "Silver Lining" from Brian Bonney

If Brian Bonney hadn't moved on from his cushy, overpaid BC Liberal OIC Appointment as THE Communications Director, Multiculturalism of Minister Harry Bloy, he wouldn't have, couldn't have, shouldn't have, changed his Linkedin profile.

But he did.

Was it the Raid on the BC Legislature over the "indiscretions" of two OIC appointees, Dave Basi and Bobby Virk that instilled in that Premier, that Disgraced Premier, Gordon Campbell, that the paper trail had to be DESTROYED. And, don't even think of getting us RILED up on the HST file with this Post.

Just look at the amount of Documents that the government of British Columbia was required to Disclose to the Defendants and their Lawyers!  Documents that were proof read by Ken Dobell, Secretary of the Executive Council as to whether or not there was evidence within relating to the Raid.

The Raid was an Insult, and even more so, an Assault on our right to Freedom of Information, information that would go a long way to proving that all Governments are accountable for their planning and actions, and not adverstise, by insinuations that they are Open and Transparent.  The BC Liberals don't even know what Open means, unless they're talking about their flies!


Over the past two weeks, the last couple of days, it's been revealed, obscurely, in a round about way, that Premier Christy Clark and her "Premier's Office" staff, routinely, as a matter of doing "business" NEVER kept a record of what they did, do.  They shred everything.  For instance, Disgraced Chief of Staff, Ken Boesnenkool's Resignation was the only document that has slipped through the veil of secrecy in recent times, since 2003.   The resignation was never supposed to have been created.  But it did.  However with the Deputy Chief of Staff, Kim Haakstad's passing, all we know is, theoretically, that there was a Resignation, written, put on Premier Christy Clark's desk, and from their the mumbo jumbo started with a Press Release from Christy's henchmen, the Spin Doctors.  We have to take Christy's word for it, when the Premier announced the firing of her long term friend and Advisor.  We don't believer her, We don't believe Anything that Premier says.   "I apologize" doesn't bit the bill in this instance, instances that are outright LIES..... like this:

Brian Bonney


And bless his little his heart, craving and crowing, all so that he can toot his little horn loudly just to prospective employers attention, to get a new job, a new start, a new beginning.   Linkedin allows that, encourages that sort of information, and once that's been posted on the Internet.... it's there.

Linkedin permits embellishment of a resume, but outright lying...... it's out of bounds.  Bonney states it plainly on what he did for the BC Liberals, but his former Employer doesn't know it (until now), and the BC Liberal Party is finding out NOW.

The time frame appears to be a touch confusing because it appears that Bonney was gainfully employed up and until, less than a month ago.   Wouldn't be interesting to find emails between Bonney and his applications, written on Government Resources????

One other detail, last line..... goes along way to discredit Premier Christy Clark's assertion that there were ONLY three people hired to handle Multiculturalism .... there were SEVEN!
