I came looking for the election date and the budget date for the Canada in 1983 update; which also didn't mention the Solidarity Crisis; I've begun the framework but I guess I'll have to look elsewhere for the dates (on the web). Intent is also to write a Solidarity (British Columbia) article; so far I've written about the April 1-5 interregnum and the election (think it was the 30th of the same month, April). Full story of election results and methods, behaviour by and attitudes towards Bennett that spring, the booby-trap of "governing with restraint"; there's obviously a parallel Restraint Budget to be writtten, as well as Kelowna Accord (whatever that was, and nobody still knows). I can't believe that someone could write a bio of Bennett and not HAVE to include the Solidarity Summer and the April 1 interregnum (a major constitutional action by an L-G, by the way). Anyway, further input sought.Skookum1 06:05, 22 November 2005 (UTC)
This "Order of Canada Citation", which was provided as a source for an erroneous claim that Bill Bennett was made an Officer of the Order of Canada, actually refers to his father, W.A.C. Bennett. — ABCXYZ (talk) 03:33, 11 April 2006 (UTC)
Is there a reason this article is not at William Richards Bennett? There are many people called Bill Bennett. Vegaswikian 07:07, 1 November 2006 (UTC)
This article is incomplete without references to Mr Bennett's acquittal on insider trading criminal charges and the investigation of the securities commission which penalized him for using insider information involving Doman Industries in his stock transactions.

The official name of the party was "League" from its founding ca. 1949 until the 1974 convention when the name was officially changed, so perhaps capital-L League would be better in reference to 1973.Chris. Fulker 15:08, 25 December 2006 (UTC)
Are there no free photos ? -- Beardo (talk) 21:25, 15 March 2008 (UTC)
Wht did he resign in 1986 ? That seems quite a young age. -- Beardo (talk) 21:25, 15 March 2008 (UTC)
I placed the NPOV tag on this paragraph:
"Inspired by conservative economist Milton Friedman, his government passed a series of laws, known as the "Restraint" program, which slashed social services and gutted labour laws in response to economic woes in 1983, provoking a general strike which further crippled the economy. To justify massive education cuts, Bennett blamed many of the province's difficulties squarely on the shoulders of public school teachers, an argument that deeply split the electorate."
The first sentence is a perfect example of loaded language. I don't know enough about why Bennet made desicions like that for BC... and there are no citations for any of that. Please edit so that it reflects an NPOV... or at least attempts to.
