Not just Vaughn Palmer - the msm has long given the BC Liberals a pass.  

A good example is political fundraising. BC has almost no controls on who can donate to political parties, In fact BC is one of the few jurisdictions in the world that accepts donations from other countries. And the BC Liberals do accept them.  with donations from companies in China tied directly to the government there. Cash for access?  BC reigns supreme. 

So while Wynn and Trudeau are getting flack in both the Post and the Globe, where is the outrage over BC? Other than stopping her $50k annual top-up, Ms. Clark and the BC Liberals didn't change their ways. Business as usual, and whatever media coverage that was directed at her, has faded away.  It sure didn't fade with Wynn and Trudeau, it was relentless until they changed policy.
