Liberalized: The Tyee Report on Gordon Campbell's Liberals

Gordon Campbell is the first BC premier in twenty years to complete a term, and the first since Bill Bennett in 1979 to win a second term. But despite many advantages - the Liberal party held 77 of 79 seats going into the May 2005 election - in the end the Liberal margin was closer than anyone had predicted. Liberalized offers some reasons for this loss of popularity. In a series of in-depth reports by regular contributors to TheTyee.ca, BC's feisty news website, this book looks at the Liberals' first term record, with chapters on the economy, women's issues, the environment, the "hurtland" economy, and more.David Beers is the author of 'Liberalized: The Tyee Report on Gordon Campbell's Liberals' with ISBN 9781554200146 and ISBN 1554200148.
