Barbarians At The RailGate!

Yup.

That's right.

The RailGate Trial is scheduled to sputter back to life Monday.

And if the wrangling of all the legal cattle careening down the chute does not derail things once again we're scheduled to have the previously privilege-protected Bankers on the stand next week.

So......

Our wall-to-wall, trestle-to-trestle, caboose-on-the-loose coverage starts right now!

****

To start things off, we take you to the Maple Syrup Revolution in which I try to explain the crux of the thing to our National Citizens' J-School correspondent, the Reverand Paperboy.

Here is how the good Reverand described our conversation recorded a few weeks ago:

"....Herr Doktor Professor RossK of The Gazetteer gives Rev. Paperboy a lengthy primer on the BC Rail kerfuffle and the two discuss the BC media and blogosphere....."



You can hear it all here.



_______
Next up: We will take you through Bill Tieleman's 'A to Z' compendium of RailGate's major players and try to give you a little more information regarding who did what where, when and how....And, maybe even some context into......why.
.
And if you want to hear the Rev's and my wide-ranging conversation on how we got into blogging, that one is here...

Talking about the re-start of BC Rail trial.....Chief of Staff Martyn Brown use of "I don't remember"; "I don't recall" has shown up at another trial, for Reyat, the bomber of Air India, where he used those answers for 19 times and the Crown now claims they were lies, lies, lies.

Hopefully the next Crown Witness, on September 13, 2010 in Courtroom #54, will have more colourful ways of answering the questions.

NVG--

Excellent point.

Hadn't made the connection of the alleged potential parallel obfuscation strategy.

Any clues to what the bankers will be babbling about?
