Blunders, screw-ups and scandal:
Kash Heed graces politics
with police experience

The sad saga of B.C.’s sometime solicitor general
includes police complaints, lawsuits, disasters
and embarrassment — as well as his opposition
to police accountability

Kash Heed: A high-functioning ex-cop.

As B.C.’s solicitor general, Kash Heed supposedly regulates
cops and security guards. But critics say
he evaded two formal police complaints
while on the West Vancouver police payroll. More...

New evidence suggests Heed
passed on confidential information
to a well-connected stockbroker
about an investigation in progress. More...

Listen to a Vancouver Sun interview with Heed
and evaluate his credibility. Then consider what would happen
if you gave similar answers to questions from the police. More...

Embarrassment about his own alleged police misconduct
excludes Heed from debate about his
ineffectual Police Act amendments. More...

After all his blather about 30 years of integrity,
Heed exempts himself from the Police Act. More...

Heed rejects Linda Bush’s personal appeal
to reform B.C.’s thoroughly biased
police complaint process. More...

But, as a BC Liberal, Heed has no say in the matter anyway. More...

As for the NDP, they’re with Gord on this one. More...

Two ex-cops who allegedly evaded police complaints
about their investigation into a police complaint
about a drunken cop sue the solicitor general, an ex-cop
who allegedly evaded two police complaints himself. More...

The RCMP thumbs its nose at Heed. More...

Heed’s hapless career is on hold
now that he’s resigned pending
an investigation into dirty campaign tricks. More...

Heed claims he didn’t know
what was going on — standard procedure
for the minister in charge of cops and security guards.
More here and here.

Kash is cleared but questions remain:
How could he have not known
about slimeball election tactics
that were reported in the media? More...

Our sad-sack solicitor general resumed his
less-than-illustrious career for just a few hours
before re-resigning. More...

The on-again, off-again solicitor-general remains arrogant
and unrepentant despite the scandal. More...

Heed’s reappointment is the height of arrogance. More...

The only honourable option for this ex-cop
is to become an ex-MLA. More...

Since 2008 Kash Heed has been the third
B.C. solicitor general to resign under a cloud,
and the first to do so twice. More...

Still mired in legal problems from his
disastrous careers in policing and politics,
Heed tries his hand at teaching —
criminal justice, of course. More...

Kash gets cleared again but questions still remain
“of a victory secured, at least in part, via dirty tricks.”
The self-described “stallion” is a spent force
in politics. More here and here.

Ignorance is no excuse, unless you’re Kash Heed:
When Kash was a cop, how often did he heed
the ‘ignorance of the law’ excuse? More...

Judge doesn’t heed Heed’s ignorant plea:
Guilty verdict sinks over-ambitious ex-cop’s
political career to new low. More...

The disgrace desperately wanted to be premier.
But when his career collapsed, Heed cashed in his close friend
and right-hand man, says Barinder Sall. More...

New allegations call for a new investigation.
Meanwhile it’s time for Mr. “Utmost Integrity”
to leave the lege. More...

Holy narcissism, Kashman...
you look more preposterous every day! More...

Christy Clark should kick Kash out of caucus.
And he should resign as MLA. More...

Trevor Lautens on Heed’s media-granted opportunity
“to claw his way back to political respectability
and power.” More...
