Talk:Gordon Campbell (Canadian politician)

What about the addition of a list of key legislation or other types of change he has made to the province of BC?

the most major change is that he introduced fixed-term elections for BC, so that governments fall on schedule, and parties know when the election is, as in the USA. the next election slated for BC is in May 2005, exactly four years after the last one in May 2001.

Now included.

--- The drunk driving issue is not going away. It's the ONLY issue in BC now. A more complete treatment of this was required, and was available in the older versions. There was absolutely no reason to delete it, whatsoever, Two16 is editing articles he or she knows nothing about, an an ad hominen basis.

Please I meant to do know harm. I am the strongest advocate for free speech in the Wikipedia. This is no word of a lie.Lockdown Sv Rule .We seem very much alike so far. I have sworn eternal hostility againstover

And speaking of style that was the criteria that I used when looking at the article. The first paragraph was exactly the same:

Gordon Campbell is the current Premier of British Columbia. He is a member of the BC Liberal Party, which holds a majority in the Legislative Assembly of British Columbia.

I removed every thing after that point. Of course it is important. You should set up a page of called "list of BC political scandals" that would be a hoot to write. NPOV is essential reading. That is the voice of encyclopedia writing. Its actually a branch of English Literature. Its a genre with its own styles and conventions: titles are standardized for the search engine, title are used bolded and used in the first sentence etc. There is still lots to do and you get the idea. This is so hot now because its news. Something like his father's alcoholism "needs" to be in the article; but it also needs to be handled with delicacy. Blurting it out as an unconected sentence in an article on the day the story hit the papers makes it look like you have an ax to grind. It reads like coverage from the Vancouver Sun.

His father was an alcoholic who committed suicide when Gordon was 13 years old.

On Thursday January 9th, 2003, Campbell was spotted by police in Maui, Hawaii speeding and weaving in a rental car. He admitted driving under the influence of alcohol, apologized to the people of Maui and British Columbia, and publicly swore off alcohol. However, despite his own rule that any cabinet minister under criminal investigation must resign, Campbell refused to resign.

Mothers Against Drunk Driving is calling for his resignation, as is the official opposition BC New Democratic Party under its leader Joy McPhail
