  • Falcon Set to Join Liberal Leadership Race Page 1 of 2
    Globe and Mail: Falcon set to join Liberal leadership race Page 1 of 2 November 28, 2010 Falcon set to join Liberal leadership race By PATRICK BRETHOUR and IAN BAILEY From Monday's Globe and Mail Health Minister's campaign to be launched Tuesday in Surrey Health Minister Kevin Falcon will jump into the B.C. Liberal leadership race on Tuesday in Surrey - and again later in the day in Prince George. A source close to Mr. Falcon's nascent campaign confirmed that a press conference called for Tuesday morning will be the official launch of his expected leadership bid. Mr. Falcon will appear again in Prince George Tuesday evening. The double-barrelled launch points to Mr. Falcon's intention to woo the rural heartland of the province - and is a counterthrust to leadership rival George Abbott, who hails from Sicamous, in the interior But the bigger challenge that the right-leaning candidate faces is winning the support of centrist members of the party, said pollster Greg Lyle, who managed the B.C. Liberals' 1996 election campaign. Who is on stage with Mr. Falcon at the Surrey press conference will test whether he can garner centrist backers, Mr. Lyle said. "Does he have a big L Liberal?" Mr. Falcon will also need to sooth concerns that he would bring an overly confrontational style to the premier's office, Mr. Lyle said. A relatively staid stint as health minister - after initial concerns that he would aggressively pursue privatization - gives him a running start. Conversely, Mr. Abbott, the former education minister known for his conciliatory approach, needs to demonstrate to the party that he is tough enough to be premier, Mr.

Press Council opinion E-mail: [email protected] EDITORIALS There’s a lesson to be learned from Japan crisis These are days of horror, privation and fear for millions of Japanese. Officials in the hard-hit port city of Sendai report that 10,000 may have died in that flattened region alone, as a grisly tide casts up thou- sands of bodies along the coast. Tokyo and other cities are still being shaken by after- shocks, as is Japan’s $5-trillion economy. Much of the nation is devastated. Millions are without food, water or heating in near- freezing temperatures. “It’s a scene from hell, absolutely night- marish,” said Patrick Fuller of the Red Cross. Prime Minister Naoto Kan called it “the worst crisis ... since the war.” “It’s like a horror movie,” Kyoko Nambu said of her flattened hometown of Soma. If that weren’t epic tragedy enough, the spectre of a nuclear meltdown now haunts Japan, stoking fears of another Chornobyl- style catastrophe. That has prompted much soul-searching about the safety of nuclear reactors everywhere. While no country in Asia is better placed to cope with this multiple calamity, Prime Minister Stephen Harper has rightly offered Canadian help as part of a global Christy Clark passes her first relief effort. He has put military strategic airlift and engineers on offer, along with radiological and nuclear expertise, disaster makeover test, choosing cabinet relief teams, and emergency food and med- Premier Christy Clark met the first test Clark showed an uncertain touch in ical supplies.
