28, 2003 Another Spin For Liberalism? Your article
in the Friday March 28, 2003 Vancouver
Sun “We support war in Iraq, board
of trade tells U.S.” by David Hogben
and David Reevely is a very insightful
and compelling piece which evidences the
precise nature of what is wrong with liberalism
both in British Columbia and in Canada. In the Sun article it is also revealed U.S. Ambassador Cellucci, who initially raised the subject of Canada’s lack of participation in support of the U.S., had spoken with liberal Premier Gordon Campbell and “struck a chord”. Did it not occur to any of these liberals, in particular Mr. Legge, Premier Campbell, and Paul Martin that they should have spoken up some time ago, not weeks into the war effort? Was Mr. Legge not aware that the war was in progress? Why respond only after comments made by Ambassador Cellucci, and after the Alliance Party spoke of their US support and, on their disgust and contempt for the Liberals shameful attitude? What was the Liberals and Vancouver Board of Trade’s position before then? Is their present position as advanced by Peter Legge based primarily on the fact that members of the Board might lose economic benefit, or does their new position reflect broader political concerns more consistent with a response to the Ambassador of a long-time ally currently at war with an evil regime. Somewhat ironically,
it was Mr. Legge’s recent publication
featuring Gordon Campbell on the cover,
and an interview exposing Campbell’s
‘soft side’ that preceded
Gordon Campbell missing in action over
a simple drinking and driving hearing.
In the Vancouver Sun article we see Mr.
Legge acting once again as ‘cover’
for Federal leadership hopeful Paul Martin.
It is fair comment to conclude that both
Premier Campbell and Mr. Martin have something
in common. They are both liberals trying
to cut into BC’s 56% Alliance-Conservative
vote. -30- For More Information contact: |
