Stephane Dion gets tossed under Dalton McGuinty's bus

One of the things that I think that would be a mistake right now is massive shifts in tax burden at a time when there's uncertainty,” said Ontario's Liberal Finance Minister Dwight Duncan.

Ouch.

Good night, and thanks for all the fish!

Liberal: Not Dion's fault - Quebec hates successful people

Yolande Thibeault, the former (Liberal) MP for Saint-Lambert...despaired at the treatment given Mr. Dion by his fellow Quebecers. "For some reason, Quebecers, we do not like each other," she said. "It is not only in politics. It is in many other domains. If a businessman is very successful, he will be pulled down by our people. It seems to be the mentality of Quebecers."

So it's not that the people of Quebec don't like Dion because of his weak leadership, and his actions as the bespectacled bully of confederation, no, it's because he is so successful. What?

If what this Liberal says is true, why aren't they at the gates of Celine Dion's mansion, with the pitchforks, tar, etc?

Because it's not true. Thibeault is throwing out excuses and slurs to cover the fact that Stephane Dion just is not an attractive option. Rather, he is the Montreal Mistake.

Free advice to the Liberal Party: Next time, perhaps don't let the booze flow quite so freely at your leadership convention. When people drink, accidents happen.

Dion vs. May - Bring on the debate

The broadcast consortium has decided that because three of the four parties did not want the Green Party in the televised debates, they could not participate. The Liberals were the only party in favour of the Greens participating.

Does Dion not recognize that most Green Party supporters are one time Liberal Party supporters? Why does Dion insist on giving them preferential treatment, when all they are doing is stealing votes from him?

Dion needs to start distancing himself from May, his deal is starting to come back to haunt him.


Or, if Dion wants to continue to have his votes drift away, and he wants Elizabeth May in the debates so bad, why doesn't he just debate her himself? I'm sure all the networks would cover it.

Because she would steal thousand and thousands of votes, at almost $2.00 each, from the Liberal Party. The Liberals literally can't afford any more financial seepage, they need to try to get those voters back. A new Green vote is likely a lost Liberal vote. Agreeing to allow the Greens into the debate, while fruitless, was a misguided decision.

Stephane Dion promises to raise taxes

Now if you were the leader of a major political party in Canada, and you had already been branded weak on leadership, soft on terror, and had the one issue you "owned" (the environment) stolen from you...what would you say in a major Ottawa speech? A major speech that the Press Gallery was calling your one chance to recapture the agenda from Stephen Harper and the Conservatives.

Do or die time, what would you say?

Would you tell Canadians that you plan to raise their taxes?

Well that is what Stephane Dion has done. No, I'm not making this up. I am allowed to make stuff up, but here I am not. Who brought up this gem at the strategy table, Denis Coderre? Yikes.

Sorry, Stephane, but you are the scary one now

Liberal leader Stephane Dion is taking another step towards the cliff of irrelevancy today, with a new attack on the Harper government.

Now that Dion has lost the environment as his go-to issue, been labelled soft on terror, and declared devoid of leadership, what issue is he going to try to beat the Conservative's over the head with?

He is going to tell Canadians that Stephen Harper is scary.

Yaaaawn.

Last I checked it was the Stephane Dion Liberals that declared their intention to cut the oil sands off at the knees, silencing Canada's economic engine. It is the Liberals who declare they want to meet Kyoto by any means possible, even if that costs thousand and thousands of Canadians their jobs, at a cost to the economy of $100+ Billion dollars. It is the Liberals that did away with preventative arrests, leaving a situation where terrorists may only be apprehended AFTER they launch a terrorist attack. And it is the Liberals who want to cut and run from a vulnerable Afghanistan, embarrassing Canada, and leaving an important part of the world at the mercy of the Taliban extremists.

Further research leads me to the Conservative’s tax credit for children's sports. The cutting of immigrant landing fees. $100/month in the pockets of every Canadian parent. A renewed sense of pride in Canada's armed forces. More weight and respect behind Canada's name in the international community. An apology for the Chinese head tax after years of Liberal excuses. Compensation for Hepatitis C sufferers after years of Liberal excuses. Finally signing a residential schools agreement after years of Liberal excuses.

So who should Canadians fear?

I'm far more afraid of Stephane than I am of Stephen.
