"We'd love to talk to the Premier about [Convention Centre cost overruns], but he hasn't been around for the past week -- because it's only the Legislature and you know, he doesn't actually like to be here during session."
-- Sean Leslie, CKNW World Today, Oct. 29, 2007
"... For Gordon Campbell, a lot of messes are gathering in a little corner, and they're all getting swept in together ... These things are all coming into play at once, and I have a feeling the next couple of years Mr. Campbell is not going to have the nice free ride he thought he was going to."
-- Rafe Mair, CBC Early Edition, Oct. 29, 2007
"[Premier Gordon] Campbell's problem is that he flits from issue to issue like a butterfly, based on whatever book he's last picked up going through an airport."
-- Norman Spector, CFAX NewsLine, Oct. 30, 2007
"It's been a rough opening at the Legislature for the B.C. Liberals - yet another sign that they are not immune to scandal and accusations of mismanagement. All in all, it's been a bruising beginning for the Liberals at the Legislature ... clearly more than a few cracks are starting to appear in the Liberals' armor."
-- Keith Baldrey, Surrey Now, Oct. 30, 2007
"A botched megaproject. Cheap tricks with needy families. A failed lobbyist registration act. Multiple investigations. Many questions, a dearth of answers. That paints a far less flattering portrait of the B.C. Liberals than the self-satisfied image they have been promoting in their speeches and publicly funded advertising. Two weeks into the session, the New Democrats have already raised doubts about the B.C. Liberals' ability to cruise, unmolested, to a third term of government."
-- Vaughn Palmer, Vancouver Sun, Oct. 31, 2007
"All his [Campbell's] colleagues are getting hammered in there by the NDP. It's like a carnival game of whack-a-mole in there."
-- Mike Smyth, CNKW, Nov. 1, 2007
"It's been three weeks of trouble for the government. One embarrassment after another. And we're seeing an Opposition that's on its toes, doing its job."
-- Vaughn Palmer, Cutting Edge of the Ledge, Nov. 2 2007
"We have hundreds of sexually abused children in this province languishing on waiting lists for psychological counseling. There's a backlog of child-death reviews the government has promised, and failed, to complete. There are hundreds of developmentally disabled children all around B.C. who can't get the help they need because of government budget constraints. And what is the ministry's priority? Over half-a-million dollars to turn a government office into a private art gallery. Unbelievable."
