After all the talk about a carbon tax, my mind keeps coming back to the same thing. Why are we talking about it at all? I mean, The Liberal Party has not released any details. But by allowing the Conservatives to know ahead of time that an announcement concerning a carbon tax is in the very near future, the Conservatives have been able to frame the issue.
You would think Liberals would have learned that by now.
The story was apparently leaked. But I thought that maybe, just maybe, the Liberals were being clever. Perhaps this was a trial balloon.
Then I looked at it again, and realized there is no way this could be a trial balloon. It was a leak, plain and simple. Worse, it was designed to hurt Liberal Party leader Stephane Dion. Worse still, the leak came from an Ontario Liberal, and not a Quebec Liberal, which means Stephane Dion seems to be no closer to solving his leadership problems, and indeed his problems might be growing.

Perhaps Harper's total distaste for Ontario, and voter's making under 50k/year will start to bite him back n the ass.
People are are starting to think perhaps giving them a majority isn't such a grand idea. People are going to start thinking back to when the Liberals turned the economy around, and the tories were the ones to overspend and hand tax breaks to those with money.
