Colin Hansen must resign as well

As we all know, Gordon Campbell (outgoing BC Premier & BC Liberal Party Leader) has now signified his intention to resign and the BC Liberal Party has launched the process to select a new leader

Earlier today, Bill Bennett was fired for what I call "speaking the truth".  This is in sharp contrast to what Gordon Campbell said about Bill Bennett complaining about the recent cabinet re-shuffle:

"Bennett was free to express his opinion, and would remain on the job"

Talk about hypocrisy...

Now, with Bill Bennett's firing as BC Energy Minister - you'd think that Campbell as Premier and head of government would explain this decision, but lo and behold - it was Colin Hansen who announced that Bill Bennett had failed to be a "team-player".  That's fine....except it was his boss (Campbell) who said it was OK for Bennett to express concerns

The reason I believe that Hansen should resign as well is because he has failed to recognize that the HST is a "lost cause" & has failed to consult adequately with the people of BC (remember - they sat on explaining the HST for over a year), as I believe Campbell has now recognized, and needs to be abandoned as any good government recognizes that policy should never trump the ultimate goal of a politician or political party - to remain in power as long as possible and that any policy or individual is secondary to that goal.   If he is unwilling to recognize that, then perhaps Hansen should be removed as BC Finance Minister & Deputy Premier whenever the next BC Liberal Party Leader is selected.

In the meantime, Campbell's conduct in the firing of Bill Bennett is deeply troubling and reeks of hypocrisy & intellectual dishonesty and he should explain himself forthwith and kudos to Bill Bennett to have the "cojonés" to speak out and tell the truth & damn the consequences

Bravo!!!
