When even BC Business isn't on your side...
April 2006, (Paul Willcocks, BC Business) House of David
Instead of being celebrated as B.C.âs champion in the new government, Emerson was roundly slagged as a symbol of politics gone wrong. He went into virtual hiding, ducking reporters and constituents, cancelling scheduled press conferences, a strategy dictated by the prime ministerâs office.
He was shattered enough that despite repeated requests over weeks and a general disposition to talk to BCBusiness at most times, he refused to be interviewed for this article. The man who once so visibly represented B.C. business interests is suddenly lurking in the shadows.
[The] B.C. star is badly tarnished.
Its only going to get worse.
