Gary Mason, The Globe and Mail, A landmark ruling puts B.C. Premier in the hot seat, July 21, 2009:

…It’s not a stretch to say yesterday’s ruling by Madam Justice Elizabeth Bennett of the Supreme Court of British Columbia could determine the future not only of a potentially explosive political corruption trial under way in the province, but the government of Premier Gordon Campbell as well.

A court case that no one seemed much interested in just a few short months ago suddenly has all the attributes of a political spellbinder.

The parallels with Watergate become more eerie by the day.
