Members of B.C.'s Liberal government will meet later this week in Vancouver, but the caucus chairman was adamant Monday that the meeting will not focus on gripes about Premier Gordon Campbell. Campbell's popularity has plummeted into the single digits since the government introduced the harmonized sales tax, and even members of the tightly disciplined Liberal ranks have publicly complained about the premier and the tax. The three-term premier will face a leadership review at the annual party convention in Penticton Nov. 19-21, which will signal how the party rank and file feel. Contrary to some reports, caucus chairman Ron Cantelon said the meeting this Thursday is not an emergency meeting to take the internal temperature on Campbell's continued leadership.
