KELOWNA -- He is still officially just an ordinary MP, but Paul Martin was treated like the prime minister he will soon become as he toured the fire-ravaged Interior of B.C. Wednesday on his first trip outside Ottawa since sewing up the Liberal leadership last weekend. B.C. Premier Gordon Campbell took Martin on a helicopter tour of the small communities of Barriere and Louis Creek north of Kamloops Wednesday, followed by a swing on the ground through the upscale subdivisions of Kelowna, where more than 230 houses were destroyed.
