The Canadian Press has learned that the Harper government plans to appoint former British Columbia premier Gordon Campbell as Canada's new high commissioner to Britain.
Campbell's elevation to one of Canada's highest diplomatic posts comes after he resigned last fall as B.C. premier.
The Liberal premier's popularity plunged when he introduced the 12-per-cent harmonized sales tax in 2009.

Prime Minister Stephen Harper also reached across partisan political lines in 2009 when he appointed Manitoba's former NDP premier Gary Doer as his ambassador to Washington -- considered Canada's top diplomatic posting.

Not really. BC's "Liberals" are mostly retread Social Creditistas - which means they are hardly Liberal at all.

Campbell gets his reward for selling out BC. Way to go Gordie!

A guy who lied his way into every elected position he ever had , acting as our representative abroad. Charming thought! This clearly demonstrates Harper's "Christian" values.
