First of all, one possibililty might just be a pure chance of bad luck. The other, however needs a little insight and history to this being the chance that Gordon Campbell's political career might come to an abrupt end after the next election.

Key words in this incident: Conspiracy to take Gordon Campbell off the Premier post

Easier said than done. However, how many of you in Canada or B.C know what Gordon Campbell advocates in his province. Once again, while the rest of the USA cheer on the Canadians to take the right, soverign move to legalize marijuana, little do they know that their government has already planted a FBI building right in downtown Vancouver. First of all, why are the FBIs in Canada? Not to mention everyone knows that B.C's largest agricultural export is high quality sensimillia(female) buds.

Last year sometime in May 2002, the U.S Drug Czar John Walters was invited down to Vancouver to host a conference. There was strong resistance by the B.C Marijuana Party as John Walters continued to spit out rotten lies about the consequences of marijuana, ridiculous figures relating marijuana to all sorts of misdemeanors. In short, John Walters did not recieved a warm visit, to say the least. CTV also broadcasted Walter's conference in which George Campbell stated that he "did not totally agree with John Walters on some aspects with regards to the U.S Drug Policy".

Setup? Maybe....

I beg to differ but politics is dirty. If George Campbell is not going to be the man to preach out "Big Brother's Policy or Homeland Security Act" if you will, then someone will be *chosen* to replace him.

My thoughts on George Campbell: He should have been more careful. Always watch your steps while in the US, especially for a B.C Premier.

Here's an excerpt from an online magazine with regards to FBI in Canada:

The FBI in Canada

US and Canadian intelligence agencies already have a long history of drug war cooperation. Last year, the DEA opened an office in Vancouver, in addition to the office they already had in Ottawa.

Other US agencies are also eager to place more agents in Canada. Blaine Harvey, spokesperson for the Canadian Solicitor General's Office, told Cannabis Culture that the FBI have had officers in Canada for "quite some time." He explained that the FBI agents are "probably at the US Embassy. We have had RCMP officers in Los Angeles, Washington, and New York for some time as well. Mostly drug file."

FBI/RCMP cooperation goes way back. They have been sharing license plate information since at least the 60's, when the RCMP's Special "L" squad reputedly coordinated with the FBI in investigations of hippie communities conducted on Canadian soil.

The FBI, US Customs or even state police have always been able to access the RCMP's Criminal History Records database by making a simple request, processed by an RCMP official pushing a button on a computer.

The December 3, 2001 agreement, however, promotes information sharing between narks everywhere that would eliminate the RCMP's button-pusher. The RCMP and FBI fingerprint databases will be linked together to form one of Big Brother's swelling brain lobes.

In the US, the FBI fingerprint database is the center of US intelligence-gathering activity, and was the very first reliable database of American citizens, created by former FBI head Edgar J Hoover in the 1920's. In Canada, the RCMP fingerprint database is a core component of Canada's Criminal Records History files, and is accessible by cops through the Canadian Police Information Center (CPIC), already available to every Canadian intelligence organization.

The recently passed USA PATRIOT Act mandates using the combined RCMP/FBI fingerprint databases to screen border-crossers and weed out undesirables, while opening up information sharing between the the FBI, CIA, US Customs and other law enforcement agencies.

On March 21, 2002, Canada and the US signed another agreement that will merge the two countries' visa, customs and immigration databases, and provide for shared information about flight passengers, even while they are in transit between countries.

New technology makes this massive database accessible to any cop on the beat. In August 2001, the ONDCP successfully tested wireless technology for installation in the cars of anti-drug agents that will link the databases of the DEA, US Customs Service, local police and anti-drug task forces. It is likely that this new "inter-operable" technology will be used to further link citizen record databases throughout North America. Whether you are pulled over by a cop, questioned at the border by customs, or visiting a government office, you can assume they have quick access to detailed information about you, including the color of your underwear, be it red-white-and-blue or marijuana green.

Campbell's driving erratic: Maui police




Canadian Press


Victoria — B.C. Premier Gordon Campbell had bloodshot eyes and an overwhelming odour of alcohol on his breath when arrested in Hawaii on Jan. 10, says a Maui police report released Monday.

Mr. Campbell's preliminary breath sample registered at .161 per cent, more than double the legal limit of 0.08 in Hawaii and British Columbia, said the report.

"I observed Campbell to have red bloodshot eyes and detected him to have the overwhelming odour of alcohol emanating from his breath as he spoke," said officer Jonathan Kaneshiro, who performed a sobriety test on the Premier.

"As Campbell exited the vehicle observed him to momentarily lose his balance using his left arm to support himself against the side of the vehicle."

Officer Shannon Griffiths said he pulled over Mr. Campbell's rental sports utility vehicle after it was travelling more than 100 kilometres an hour in a 70 km/h zone. He said the vehicle travelled over the double solid yellow lines into the southbound lane and then pulled back into the northbound lane and over into the bike lane.

Mr. Griffiths said he turned on his police cruiser's emergency lights and Mr. Campbell pulled his vehicle to the side of the road after waiting for a traffic signal to change.

"Gordon Campbell was wearing clear bifocal glasses and I observed him to have watery eyes, oily facial features and slurred speech," his report said. "I also smelled a strong odour liquor coming from this person as he spoke."

Mr. Griffiths said he asked Mr. Campbell why he was travelling at a high rate of speed and the Premier responded "he was tired and he wanted to get home."

Mr. Kaneshiro said Mr. Campbell, 55, gave the preliminary breath sample at the roadside where police pulled over his vehicle at about 1 a.m.

He was arrested for operating a vehicle under the influence of an intoxicant at 1:23 a.m. when the preliminary blood-alcohol concentration reading registered at .161 per cent, Mr. Kaneshiro said.

Mr. Campbell was then handcuffed and placed into the rear of a police vehicle and taken to the Wailuku police station on Maui, Mr. Kaneshiro said.

Mr. Campbell was formally charged at 2:36 a.m. after police obtained a breath sample that gave a blood alcohol reading of .149 per cent, Mr. Kaneshiro said.
