How also can the inadequate, pretentious BC Liberal government even think of being reelected when it clearly for years now too has not dealt adequately with the abused, the poor and needy persons of British Columbia, the homeless, the unemployed, the unemployable, nor even the bad RCMP just for a start.. like it’s bad resigned Justice Minister it clearly was only unacceptably pretending to function in office.. https://thenonconformer.wordpress.com/2010/10/25/canadas-bad-police-officers/

Adam Smolcic is hoping a professional data-recovery expert will prove his allegation that a police officer erased his cell-phone video recording of Vancouver police shooting a knife-wielding man. A civil liberties advocate says if true, it echoes other incidents where supposed video evidence of potential police misconduct went missing. Smolcic, claims his video will show police didn’t need to shoot Michael Vann Hubbard, who they suspected was breaking into parked cars last Friday. Smolcic claims he captured almost the entire incident on four or five minutes of video with his mobile phone from across the street, 15 to 20 metres away. He said he voluntarily turned the phone over to one of the officers who arrived after the shooting. “When the police take your phone you assume you’re not getting it back because it’s evidence,” said Smolcic. “When he gave it back to me I totally thought I had lucked out and I’ve got this awesome video, and when I saw it was gone I was shocked.” Abbotsford police spokesman Const. Casey Vinet said his department is aware of Smolcic’s allegation. “I can tell you all aspects of what happened will be thoroughly examined and we want to speak with everyone who has any information,” he said. If Smolcic’s allegation proved true, Eby said the officer who deleted the video would probably face criminal charges. But it may not be the only record of the shooting. Vancouver police said Monday investigators were reviewing security camera recordings of the incident from two separate sources. Police also interviewed about 50 other people in connection to the investigation. Investigation of the shooting has been turned over to Insp. Len Goerke, head of Abbotsford’s major crime section. Vinet said the purpose of the investigation is to determine if any offences were committed under the Criminal Code or the Police Act. But while Goerke is heading the investigation, Vinet said Vancouver police homicide detectives will be doing the legwork. “We’re confident the findings will be reached in a fair and objective manner,” Vinet said. The Office of the Police Complaint Commissioner of British Columbia will be providing civilian oversight of the investigation, he added. http://ca.news.yahoo.com/s/capress/090323/national/police_shooting_video

If the cop cannot handle the job properly fire first his bad supervsior and next fire the cop too.

Hey we have loads of example of how ruthless, crooked the cops are now in Canada.. their self regulation does not work, and Canada wide now too. None of this is acceptable. and the overall justice system, Justice Ministers are already known world wide to be really bad too.
Welfare to work CEO got million dollar raise April 22, 2009 12:57 pm The CEO of an American company that provides job placement services to British Columbia welfare recipients got a $1 million pay raise in 2008. A single person on welfare in B.C. who is classified as “expected to work” receives $610 a month, or $7,320 a year. The company’s former vice president responsible for government relations and communications, Robin Adair, is now a B.C. Liberal Party candidate in Saanich South.

Auditor General slams BC failure on homelessness The British Columbia government has so far failed to develop a plan to reduce homelessness, according to a report released by Auditor General John Doyle “We found significant activity and resources being applied to homelessness issues but there is no provincial homelessness plan with clear goals and objectives,” Doyle wrote. “The absence of clear goals and objectives raises questions about whether the right breadth and intensity of strategies are being deployed.” The government does not even have a grasp of the size of the problem, he said. “The lack of good comprehensive information about the nature and extent of homelessness in the province” makes it difficult to plan, he said. The only figures available are from homelessness counts conducted by municipalities and regional districts that likely underestimate the problem, he said. Those counts have been rising. “The continuing increase in the number of homeless counted suggests a lack of success in managing homelessness, let alone reducing it.” There is a good financial case to be made for better addressing homelessness, he said. “The cost of public services to a homeless person is significantly higher than to that same person being provided with appropriate housing and support services.” Justice, social services failed Frank Paul: report “The evidence requires me to conclude that despite the service of many fine and diligent professionals, our systems of justice and social service ultimately failed Frank Paul,” wrote report author and inquiry commissioner William Davies. AND Welfare application process ‘unduly complex’: Ombudsman “The ministry’s income assistance application process is unduly complex and not designed to meet the needs of the people who are applying for assistance,” found Ombudsman Kim Carter in the 121-page report, Last Resort : Improving Fairness and Accountability in British Columbia’s Income Assistance Program.The report is the result of a systemic investigation into the provincial welfare system sparked by a 2005 complaint from the B.C. Public Interest Advocacy Centre. The Housing and Social Development ministry which administers the welfare system fails to give applicants a clear, written explanation of the application process, the report said, adding the process is unnecessarily onerous. “The ministry’s income assistance application process can discourage people who are in need from obtaining the assistance available to them.” Some policies are particularly unreasonable, she said, such as requiring single parents with kids under three years old—who won’t be required to look for a job if approved for welfare—to spend three weeks looking for work before they can get help. Nor does the ministry do enough to understand the effects of its policies, she said. “The ministry does not accurately track the number of income assistance applications it receives, approves and denies,” she said. “The ministry lacks evidence to support its conclusion that the reduction in the income assistance caseload is a result of people leaving assistance for employment.” Carter’s report makes 25 recommendations for how to improve the system. A letter from Housing and Social Development deputy minister Cairine MacDonald included with the report says the ministry accepts all but one of the recommendations. The ministry will not compensate people who were denied benefits they were entitled to but did not get due to the government’s delay implementing a policy change. and based on such stupidty continuing the social welfare minister seeks relection?

Do see also Police soaps- make you cry the long awaited changes to B.C.’s police complaint process appear set to die on the floor of the provincial legislature as government dissolvesd parliament without passing the amendments into law. HOW IS THAT FOR A PRETENTIOUS BC MINISTER NOW TOO. Solicitor General John van Dongen admitted that the changes won’t become law .. and Van Dongen didn’t answer directly when asked if government knew in early March the bill would not pass. ”it’s clear government didn’t view those items as priorities… If the government thought it was important to get re-elected they would have done it, that’s the bottom line, this BC Liberal government has been fairly clear in pushing through the legislation on things they think are important, they’ve invoked closure…. they clearly have the votes to do so.”.. I HOPE NO ONE IS FOOLISH ENOUGH TO RE-ELECT HIM TOO?http://www.theage.com.au/national/investigations/minister-told-ashby-be-careful-20090405-9t9l.html

The BC justice minister was clearly scared to prosecute the dirty RCMP because he is guilty himself.. many unpaid speeding tickets.. The citizens expected their Attorney General’s Office to conduct a fair and comprehensive investigation of all police matters too to determine if there is evidence of criminal wrongdoing but he could not do so cause his hands were tied.. BC Public Safety Minister Loses License For Excessive Speeding … and B.C. solicitor general resigns over speeding tickets British Columbia’s top law enforcement official has resigned from the provincial cabinet following revelations that his driver’s licence has been suspended for excessive speeding, Solicitor General and Minister of Public Safety John van Dongen announced his cabinet resignation in a statement released but unwisely had said he will continue to run as the B.C. Liberal Party candidate for Abbotsford South. “I do understand how my conduct in this respect has reflected poorly on the credibility of the office,” he also said. Van Dongen wouldn’t say how many tickets he has received over the years. He understands and still runs relection again? What the people of BC are all fools? NDP Leader Carole James said “When you have your top cop in the province charged with offences… I don’t think that is helpful to anyone,” James said Premier Gordon Campbell should “come clean on why it took so long for van Dongen’s driving record to surface,” and why after it did, Campbell did not immediately ask him to resign. A search of court records shows that Laura McDiarmid, B.C. Liberal candidate in Vancouver-West End, has a long list of driving offences, including 10 speeding tickets, one for excessive speeding and one for driving without reasonable consideration.

Here is what I found amazing and worth while examining now in much more detail.. insurance companies in Canada do not mind gouging Canadian consumers in their greed to make more profits.. and we all know that accumulating speeding , traffic infractions, will cause your car insurance costs to go up significantly… and yet here is what I find surprising, neither the insurance companies, the provincial government, nor the federal government, the police have real, valid detailed statistics on the causes of traffic accidents: such as how many were caused my alcoholic drivers, how many were caused by speeding, how many were caused by poor road conditions, lousy snow clearing as well, etc not even in Ontario, Alberta, Quebec, BC as well.. …. so what do the insurance companies do with all the extra money they collect, certainly they of all persons should have firstly the best statistics on traffic accidents now in the first place, or how do they determine their rates??? Even Canada’s police chiefs have to rely on accident statistics from other countries, such as Australia, Great Britain, the US..
‘Speed on green’ cameras linked to rear-end crashes. Arizona cities, one of the first cities to bring in such technology says the cameras decrease speeding and dangerous collisions, but can increase the number of rear-end crashes. But of course the money hungry police of Calgary had denied this.
