Election update
I'll put this as simply as I can. In uncertain economic times, only one party can put forth a plan to guide Canada through the rough waters ahead. The Liberals.
Critics call changes in Liberal party direction "flip-flopping", but I call it "just being prudent". That's the advantage of being a centrist party. One day you can present a left-ist leaning socio-economic policy, and the next day, modify it to be more conservative. Or the other way around.
The latest polls are showing the Liberals just 4 points ahead of the NDP and a staggering 15 points behind the mean, sweater wearing Tories. I like Stephane Dion. I like his vision. I will be voting for my party on October 14th - there's no doubt about it. From a public perspective though, the party though needs a low level format.
Green Shift - great idea. Maybe though, the Liberals could have just called it "environmental tax shifting" so that when people google it they find the proven results from it's usage elsewhere in the world. As it stands right now, the "Green Shift" is an unproven idea from an unproven leader. We know it's not though.
Anyway - the substance is there with the Liberals this year, even if the packaging isn't. The Liberals are all steak without that much sizzle. Isn't that what everybody asked for?
