Campbell leaves B.C. a legacy of lies

Re: Clark deserves a chance to lead, Our View, March 2, 2011.

Your editorial suggesting that Christy Clarke has the ability to put Gordon Campbell behind the BC Liberal party would make some sense, except the vast majority of B.C. Liberal MLAB次元官网网址檚 sat by and did absolutely nothing while Campbell lied his way through his time as premier.

I can count on one hand the number of B.C. Liberal MLAB次元官网网址檚 who stood up against Campbell after all the lies. To name a few: Shredded health care contracts, BC Rail, the thousand-year lease that they desperately tried to keep hidden, decade long contracts and massive government property sell offs, and finally, the big lie of the HST.

Never mind Campbell originally campaigned on B次元官网网址渙pen and honest government.B次元官网网址

Only a couple of B.C. Liberal MLAB次元官网网址檚 stood on their hind legs and did what was right for the people of British Columbia and tell it straight for the first few lies. They became independents.

That a major elected official kept lying to the public and the remaining MLAB次元官网网址檚 did nothing is not only a complete disgrace, itB次元官网网址檚 a slap in the face to every B.C. citizen.

In the end the only reason Campbell wound up stepping aside is because a few MLAB次元官网网址檚 saw a chance to become premier, and the rest saw themselves losing the next election.

No, the B.C. Liberal government wonB次元官网网址檛 change until the majority of the B.C. Liberal MLAB次元官网网址檚 are changed. Until then, British Columbians will continue to have a bunch of cowards and power hungry sycophants representing them. Of course, some say the electorate gets the representation it deserves.
