What?

With only the following issues in the last few years:

1) drunk driving conviction
2) HST hidden agenda
2) BC Rail/Basi/Virk plea deal
4) "Run of the River" bs
and many more

I think he will be kicked out by recall before then.
And the new government will call for an inquiry in the BC Rail issue when they are elected.

We can only hope! You are talking about a very arrogant man who listens to no-one but himself, a true dictator and they do not leave office gracefully. He declared publicly early last summer that he would going for another round. I hope that when he finally does leave that he take Colin Hanson with him.

There are basic rules in life, and one of them is knowing when to stay and when  to leave a position. A perfect time to exit for Campbell would have been to step down after the 2010 Olympics.  But the man is so power hungry he will stay right up to the bitter end.  Never been much of a fan of his, but always have to shake my head when I see things like this.

In respect I disagree, no one can be as bad as this government has been the last few years.

There is a line in Chris's reference that really resonates with me:   'the man who has savaged everything I hold dear in my beloved British Columbia'.

I think it fair to say in Gordo's defense that he and his crew have been competent managers in working towards their objectives.   I just I don't like their objectives because I don't like seeing all our heritage sold for a few dollars.  We may have to sell much of it eventually to survive in the very long term but it has been happening far too fast. 

He and his crew don't believe in government and it follows that everything in the public realm should be sold.   So why would we put people like that in charge of government?

The most like scenarios:

#The Liberals will be funding Green party members to help split the vote in there favor.
#Gordon will change his name before the next election.
#Gordon will summon creatures from h3ll and use them as citizens to vote for him.

I agree. Campbell is on his way out, however there are not enough voters in the province that will be willing to hold their noses and vote for the NDP.....   :D

9, nearly 10 years is too long for any party to be in power, no matter who the leader is.  time for some balance and some new ideas.  change in this case imo is healthy for the province, and the province needs it right now.
