"There was a political agenda," Mr. Fox says. He says that while he did not uncover any direct correspondence or political directives between the censor of the day and politicians, it is easy to infer the issues and news the censor was expected to eradicate.Not so surprisingly, this is the same bastion of nanny-state goodness that, instead of trying to stop a plague of people injecting poison into their veins... sets up a taxpayer funded, medically supervised shooting gallery.
Don't worry BC, Big Brother will take care of you.

-- VICTORIA -- British Columbia lawmakers have been handed a report recommending dramatic increases to their basic MLA pay and a return to a pension plan that was scrapped in 1996.
An independent panel set up by the B.C. Liberal government has recommended a 29-per-cent increase in basic salary to $98,000, up from the current $76,100. The premier would get a 54-per-cent salary hike to $186,200 annually.
