Take your white towel and....

Last night while Gordon Campbell was trying to bribe BC's public servants with their own money, the Premier received the endorsement of former Vancouver Canucks General Manager Brian Burke. As part owner of the Western Hockey League's expansion Chilliwack Bruins, it appears that Burke is now rich enough to support the B.C. Liberals: "I know what it takes to build a winning organization and I want you all to know we have a leader tonight with all those qualities."

When Burke talks about a winning organization, is he referring to the same Vancouver Canucks, who, under his tenure as General Manager, never made it past the second round of the Stanley Cup playoffs? The same Canucks who would roll up impressive strings of victories in the regular season, only to fall apart to the Minnesota Wilds and Calgary Flames of the hockey world when it really mattered? The Liberals love to credit themselves for the province's booming economy, only to choke every time they face off against problems in education and health care. As for "what it takes", can anyone tell the difference between Todd Bertuzzi's sucker punch on Steve Moore and Gordon Campbell's sucker punch on the Hospital Employees Union?

Nobody I know misses the stupidity and brutality of the locked-out NHL. We wouldn't miss the stupidity and brutality of the BC Liberals either.
