Having criminal Campbell as boss would drive anyone with a sense of right and wrong to retire...

That's what you do when it's partially your fault - -retire.

The $24 Billion dollar 360 Networks bankruptcy capitalization wipe out (from fraudulent revenue swapping), as well as the BC Rail privatization (from influence peddling)... happened on his watch.

IMO we should have an agency that investigates judicial integrity as it relates to cases before the courts. I believe the BC Courts to be among the most corrupted in North America.

IMO when a court becomes corrupted, so to do its verdicts....
