Wilson is quoted as saying
Dix’s philosophy that the end justifies the means is why he had no hesitation in writing a fraudulent document to mislead the RCMP in their criminal investigation of Glen Clark. His defense was that he was under pressure and 35 years old. The pressure in the Premier’s office will be even greater today, and even a child of 12 knows the difference between honesty and deceit.
Dix said that he owns that action. Agreed, unless he is elected Premier at which time we all own it and it will fall to us to explain why an average British Columbian guilty of the same offense should suffer the full weight of the law while Dix does not.

In 1993, Wilson's leadership of the Liberals was challenged after it came to light that he was having an extramaritial affaid with fellow Liberal MLA Judi Tyabji, whom he had recently named as the party's House Leader.
In a Liberal Party leardership review that had been called soon afterward, Wilson was defeated by Vancouver mayor Gordon Campbell who was involved in an extramaritial affair of his own that he maintained throughout his term in office. Campbell had friends in the media and the story of his extramaritial affair, allegedly one of several, was suppressed.
Campbell, a notorious drinker, was apprehended and convicted for drunk driving in Hawaii immediately after he was elected. Unfortunately, the judge took pity on Campbell and did not put him in jail where he deserved to go and he came back to British Columbia where he is accused of selling off government assests to friends and other crimes of state.
Campbell is now in hiding in London, England, as Canada's High Commissioner, where he has run up extremely high bar bills at taxpayers expense.
