It didn't count as drunk driving either

Gordon Campbell says that owning shares in Alcan and at the same time authourizing BC Hydro to purchase surplus electricity from the aluminum concern doesn't constitute a conflict of interest. This page says bullsh*t, Mr. Premier.

Campbell's claim that the Alcan shares are part of an RRSP and that he has no control of what shares go into his portfolio simply doesn't wash: that's like saying one isn't guilty of drunk driving because he didn't know what the host put in the martinis. I know that the facts posted here are not always as precise as they should be, but this page is absolutely certain that Canaccord Capital is not the only RRSP on the market. For example, these people handle mine.

Either Gordon Campbell puts his investments in a blind trust, or takes his RRSP somewhere. Better yet, this embarassment of a Premier could do British Columbians the favour he's owed us since Maui and step down. Weasal words will help Alcan's appeal to the BC Utilities Commission, and they won't help Campbell either.
