A Few More Tricks For This Pony

The fear among a lot of Liberals I've talked to is that Dion will run on the environment and nothing but, during the next campaign. Given that putting all one's eggs into one basket, no matter how eco-friendly that basket is, likely isn't a great strategy, today's speech by Dion is certainly a little reassuring. Some economic policy, money for innovation, money for education...sounds good to me. Obviously you don't give away the specifics now (gotta get headlines during a campaign, after all), but at least it shows he's thinking about more than Kyoto.

  • There's no way Dion will run a one-issue green campaign - even if he'd ever intended to do so, he would have realized by the time an election arrived that it wasn't going to pan out. He'll be more of a challenger than anyone thinks right now (even me, probably!).

  • The 'generation thing' has a familiar ring to it? I think I heard it once before.Ah yes,now I remember 'we will fix health care for the next generation'At least Dion didn't say the priority word or did he.I hope Dion can flesh out his overall generalizations when the hard questions are asked,because Pauls press announcement policys couldn't!

  • I'm not going to jump into the debate about strategy but I really did like the messaging that came out of today's speech.

  • You're on CBC, Dan!

    "He's in the same boat that Stephen Harper was..."

    Hehe, nothing beats Harper in the black leather fest and cowboy hat (except maybe Duceppe's hair net).

  • the speech was terrible. same old, same old.

    but Calgary Grit on CBC's the National? Now that's exciting! Way to go!

  • Yup CG got the CBC to put up that picture of the cowboy suit again! I think the Liberals just went up 5 points!

  • Actually, the environment issue has the greatest potential to transform Canadian society/economy.

    Here's an example where national+local determination makes a difference.

    The problem is that Dion lacks time to make it work.

  • Peter, your post makes no sense. The billion dollars you claim Harper is blowing was money promised by the Liberal's in March 2004 and never delivered. Harper delivered it, and indeed it is badly needed.

    The promised goodies are done by all parties, particularly the one in power, when there is an upcoming budget and possible election looming.

    Just look at Martin and Goodale in November of 2005 before the Liberal's had even lost the confidence vote.

  • I like Peter's thinking.

    That would really cool the Conservative jets if the opposition parties offered to form the government when the Conservatives are defeated.

    If that coalition could last 12 to 18 months before breaking up, it would serve everyone well.

  • If that coalition could last 12 to 18 months before breaking up, it would serve everyone well."


    My understanding is once Harper hit the 12-month mark it took away that option. When the government does fall the GG will call an election.

    I think there could be some backlash by that anyways.Harper could paint the Liberal's as being power hungry and doing anything to get back in office.
