Gordon Campbell: Sudden Hockey Fan!

Hey, he’s not just pretending to be Bob the Builder, he’s also a diehard member of the Canuck Nation.

Groan me a river.

I’m not quite sure why it’s felt necessary to constantly provide us with the Premier’s reactions to the performance of the Vancouver Canucks in the NHL playoffs. Oh, right… It’s all an analogy to his own winning political team. After all, nobody was paying much attention to his hapless bunch of overpaid stickhandlers throughout what might be called the regular season, but now the “playoffs” (read: election) are here, it’s suddenly the focus of rapt attention and rabid, irrational partisan fervour.

  1. I’m not quite sure why it’s felt necessary to provide us with the Premier’s reactions to the performance of the Vancouver Canucks in the NHL playoffs.

    It’s to prove he’s heterosexual.

    The good people of British Columbia deserve a premier who can use a locker room without running the risk of popping a woody at the sight of another chap’s wang.

  2. Stickhandling reference now added. ;)

  3. Gordon S

    I wonder if he’s written a book about hockey.

    Maybe he’s shopping for a new job. Radio jock Gordo! We can hope.

  5. It’s part of a Vancouver Sun-initiated blog called Faceoff, where both Campbell and James blog about the Canuck’s playoff run. Campbell seems to be getting a little more into it than James. Frankly, while I’m not a Campbell fan in the least and would tend towards the opposite, my opinion of him has become less negative.

  6. smart politics; even despite the obvious pander. hate to agree with BCer, the libs are looking less bad in this campaign. the àxe the tax`campaign hasn`t hurt. the fact gordo has reinvented himself from rabid ideologue on First Nations issues and the environment to a more pragmatic style certainly helps.

  7. Yep, the BC Libs are coming off quite well. In fact, I was just about to post something to that effect. You’re way ahead of me it seems… ;)

  8. merd, can`t change my osti de tabernac keyboard back to anglais. ignore the accents aigus and the fake quote marks…

  9. Before he showed up to induce groans throughout Canucklehead Nation, the radio station in question had already been hard at work doing a little self interest-assisted wurlitzering on the side for his Gordness….</a.
