Undeserved Honour

History is a maiden, and you can dress her however you wish.


Why Gordon Campbell does not deserve the honour of the Order of British Columbia, let me count the reasons. 


As a political centrist or what would in a proper world would be a Liberal I find if not the first, but the one item that  Mr. Campbell has affected me the most negatively, his destruction of BCs political centre. 
Mr. Campbell literally highjacked the Liberal brand, in one of his many examples of deceit, because he recognized that provincially Conservatives could not be elected in BC, so he  engineered one of his many political coup-de-tats and deposed Gordon Wilson a real Liberal as leader of the BC Liberals and managed to drag them to the Ultra right of the political spectrum, leaving BC with no political centre. I can never forgive him for that particular deception as that will probably be the reality for the rest of my life. 


All the rest of his DUIs, lies, deception, breaking the laws, manipulations, arrogance, BC Rail, HST, his purposely bankrupting of BC Hydro and countless other abuses of power that we will probably not even find out about for years to come, are just more of the same and are to be expected of a man of Campbell's elitist character who considers himself above the laws and constraints of mere mortals. 


The fact that he managed to be elected 3 times is a glaring testament to how undemocratic and antiquated our present electoral system is. 


If people like Mr. Campbell do deserve the order of BC and are touted to be a positive role model for the people and children of BC I have to wonder of it’s significance or value at all, which is very sad because there are many that actually do credit to the honourable Order of BC.
