Stroke of Genius? Or Just a Stroke...
Personally, I think Stephane Dion's decision to backburner the Green Shift was probably as good a decision as any. I mean, Canadians are stupid or why would Stephen Harper be leading in the polls? And the Canadian media is several layers below stupid or why would it be solidly behind the New Conservatives? Personally, I think it's a reasonable and innovative way of taxing polluters that is positive, rather than punitive, but - I'm not stupid. In any case, all the doomsdaysayers are wrong. If anything, Dion's move will give the campaign a boost because Harper and the New Conservatives, negative incompetent boobs that they are, will hound him on the "Green Shift decision" to the point where Canadians will finally understand it and think it's a good thing.
