"I made a terrible personal mistake," said B.C. Premier Gordon Campbcll repeatedly last weekend as lie faced a firing squad of reporters demanding an explanation to his impaired driving charge in Hawaii. An emotional Campbell stood solid- ly with his wife by Ills side as lie begged forgiveness of tlie B.C. public and lie made a point of distinguishing his mistake as an incident that occurred on his personal time - a sepa- rate incident far away from the Premier's office. Canadians have always given politi- cians a bit of leeway when it comes to their personal life and their indiscre- tions. When papers across North America were awasli with the Bill Clinton and Monica Lewinski scandal out of the Wliite House, Canadians, for the most part, didn't care. However, drunk driving carries a lit- tle more weight than an inappropriate affair or a momentary lapse in concen- tration. More lives are lost to impaired driving in Canada than any other criminal act and the struggle to put an end to that trend is a hard fought bat- tle by groups like Mothers Against Drunk Driving - many members of which have lost a loved one as a result of someone's terrible personal mistake. Campbell acknowledged the con- cerns of MADD In his statement last week and he was thankful tliat nobody was hurt by his hand, but as an elected official who swore to restore integrity to a heavily marred office, lie lias a duty to lead by example. Credit must be given to Campbell though. He wasted no time in admit- ting his mistake and, in a rare glimpse of his normally hard and steadfast per- sona turned vulnerable, he let the pub- lic have a glimpse at the skeletons in his closet. Perhaps that is the example that people should pay attention to. Politicians are people. They have problems and they screw up. As B.C. finance minister Gary Collins told reporters the day after Campbell was arrested, he made a "human and very terrible mistake. It has nothing to do with his job as Premier." In December 2001, Alberta Premier Ralph Klein overstepped a boundary from his office when he ordered his . Yet, Klein wasn't charged with a lives has certain demons that they Premier.
