Look Look. See Liberals Scramble!
As a confirmed and committed NON-LIBERAL, I am being totally entertained by the way Liberals are scrambling around in reaction to Dion's recent political policy 'death wish'. I can hardly wait for the next federal election - this is going to be fun!
"It's bad politics. It is already confusing voters. It therefore gives the Tories a Hell of an opening to swift boat the Liberals on the environment - again (a six-year-old could write the attack spots). It reinforces the impression that federal Libs are utterly disconnected from the day-to-day lives of real Canadians, sipping lattés at Starbucks and listening to CBC Two, while the Tories are down at Tim's with 30 million other regular folks, talking hockey."

"I think the crowd started with some hesitation and ended with a belief that Dion can do it. As we all know, it is not going to be easy to convince Canadians. We will be fighting against a Conservative spin machine that will do everything it can to cloud and confuse the issue. The answer for Liberals is not to get scared and back off; but to sell the idea because it is the right thing to do. We all know it's risky, but everything in life is risky. If it works, it will be well worth it."

I'm not sure what entertains you. The last poll showed 61% of Canadians would accept a Carbon tax, and that climbs into the 70's when it has incentives and not just punishments built into it.
Besides, if the Liberals are going to lose, I'd rather Dion go down fighting on an issue like this then with a whimper. Canadians say they want to help the environment, this policy will give them the option of putting their money where their mouth is.

I may be a bit cynical about this, but when the 61% realize it will cost them money, I suspect the numbers go down a bit.....
