Tomorrow Stephane Dion plans to unveil his “green shift” plan, it will define the next election and ultimately Canada’s political future. The plan has been leaked to contain carbon taxes, which may increases fuel prices. Voters angry about the skyrocketing fuel prices and fears about an Economic recession all add up to a potential disaster for the Liberals.
There was an idea in the Winnipeg Sun about replacing the GST with the proposed Carbon Taxes. Others have leaked that it will include massive income tax cuts. Anything short of that and a miracle and I think we’ll be seeing a new Liberal leadership race before the end of the year.
Lets hope tomorrow will be a bold new winning vision for the future instead of the suicide plunge to the bottom with a brick tied around the leg, like most pundits seem to be predicting.
There is no way there will be another Liberal Leadership race. If Dion resigns he party would look even weaker. Canadians won’t go for that.
The liberals have stuck themselves in a corner that will be very hard to get out of. Only thing one could hope for is that the Conservatives look worse han the liberals do right now.
On a side note relating to the next post; Conservatives have already started radio ads bashing the carbon tax policy. It’s been on constantly on the 102.1 the Edge…ironically a station where Strombo hosts a show.
