VANCOUVER (NEWS1130) - He may appear to be on the opposite side of the political spectrum, but former Vancouver mayor now-Senator Larry Campbell is backing Kevin Falcon for the BC Liberal leadership in the latest major endorsement in the race.

Campbell admits he and Falcon don't always agree, but calls him honest and thinks he's the best person to keep the Liberal coalition together.

He also thinks Falcon will get along with Ottawa. "I think that the days of fed-bashing by provincial governments, it doesn't simply doesn't bear fruit, and I think we've seen that over the past few years with Premier [Gordon] Campbell.  And I think that [Falcon] will continue on in that tradition. There's no sense in having a fight."

Campbell's nod is the latest high-profile endorsement since former CTV anchor Pamela Martin said she's backing Christy Clark.

The party will vote in a new leader on February 26.
