Gordon Campbell's former chief of staff, Martyn Brown, writes a book
Gordon Campbell's top adviser calls for a new way.
I just stumbled across a notice of a new ebook by Martyn Brown, the former chief of staff to Gordon Campbell.
Towards A New Government in British Columbia is billed as a response to the "growing desire for new leadership that can restore public trust and confidence".
Here's how Brown describes his book on the Amazon.com site:
On May 14, 2013, British Columbians will go to the polls to elect a new government. For the governing BC Liberals and for their "free enterprise” supporters, the outlook is bleak. Confidence is waning. Hope is fading. Confusion is abounding. And apathy reigns supreme.
Understanding and responding to that predicament is the purpose of this eBook. At the heart of the matter is the point of power, the need for change, and British Columbians’ growing desire for new leadership that can restore public trust and confidence....Ultimately, this work is an argument for a new way of governing and for new forms of political engagement that better respect voters’ democratic choices, that appreciate the fluid nature of coalitions, that value critical thought, and that emphasize innovation, vision and open, honest discourse.
Critical thought, vision, and open, honest discourse? I can imagine how that's going to be received by those who look upon Brown as B.C.'s version of Karl Rove during the Campbell years.

He can go pound sand.
There was no limit to his partisanship, his hard elbows, and his vitriol. Like every politician of the pit bull persuasion, he never knew when to let go. He attacked everything -- and everyone-- that displeased him.
He has a remarkable memory for the grudge, the slight, the quarrel. Vengeance is his, especially in this distasteful little book. Christy Clark may be an incompetent on her way out, but only a 'Liberal' like Martyn Brown would enjoy kicking her down the stairs.
It's passing strange how his long memory failed him so utterly when under oath in the BC Rail scandal.
Martyn Brown will never write a "tell-all" about that disgrace. No wonder.
Not only that but all the coal which is why more dangerous in a spill is being shipped from the North east coal project to Coast by rail then put on monters shipps to go to China.
Not only that you have a natural gas pipelines at least 3 to the caost the newest is to Prince Rupert and when they leak they kill...
BC also runs a major gas line from the Peace River through Alberta to the USA (I wonder how much Alberta should get for that to continues 50% profit sounds good to me, Maybe Alberta should surcharge the oil we send to run BC's lower mainland extra 30 buck a barrel seems good to me ..They all have bikes in BC they don't need gas guzzling cars or trucks to deliver their food they all have replicators thats how the food they import gets to the store and the bagel shop.
BC should be very carefull or they may have to import their oil by tanker from another Commy Chevez ..
