Check out this new online petition to rescind Gordon Campbell’s Order of BC.

“How is it possible that Gordon Campbell, ex-Premier of BC, even be
nominated to receive the 2011 Order of BC, never mind be chosen as a
recipient? According to the Government of BC’s own Order of BC website, nominations
for the 2011 awards closed March 10, 2011, and ‘your nominee must not
currently be an elected person with federal, provincial or municipal
governments’. Gordon Campbell did not step down as MLA, clearing the way for Christy
Clark to run in his riding of Vancouver-Point Gray, until March 14th.
Thus, at the close of nominations he was ‘currently an elected person’.” (Sept. 4, 2011)
