In regards to caucus, do we actualy know that? The public never sees what goes on in Caucus so how would we know what Falcon is saying is 100% true?

There's coercion and some MLA's won't really vote the way they want because they don't want to ruin their chances of getting into Cabinet.

Few actually vote on the basis of majority of opinion of the constituents.

Take Falcon's words at less than face value, unless there some means of confirmation.

As for Falcon not having a problem with free opinion in a caucus, the simple aspect is that he and the Premier should not.

Unless there is micromanging Campbell style on MLA's responses to questions in caucus.

From what bus drivers told me there was a fair bit of administrative patronage in the supervisory pay grades at the old BC Transit, and that continued on with Translink, at least in its early days. A bus depot supervisor would be hired who had no previous experience in the business, but who was retired at an early age from police or military service and who was a nice person looking to supplement their pension income.

I don't mean to suggest or imply that there is anything intrinsically wrong in hiring ex-army or ex-police officials in their late Forties or Fiftes, but the point is that the particular people selected did not always or even very often have the knowledge or skills necessary to contribute anything productive to the operation of the bus system, and one could also question whether the position itself was really needed.
