-Pursue proven crime-prevention solutions that reduce crime, prevent victimization and enhance community safety;
-Provide the public with transparency over the government’s role in the transfer of Afghan detainees by reconstituting and ending Conservative boycotts of Parliament’s Afghanistan committee, and respect the will of Parliament by handing over unredacted documents in a manner that protects legitimate claims of national security; and
-Free Olympic mittens for all Canadians.

If you need to use more than one hand to count your priorities, you lose credibility.
If you need to take off your socks to count your priorities, you're Paul Martin...

Um ... I think all of these are already being done. Thus the word "reaffirm" in so many of them.
Seriously, how do any of these make a distinction between the Liberals and any of the other parties?

Simplified English translation:
Bigger Government, bigger taxes, bigger civil service, bigger nanny state, bigger global warming thingy.
No targets in that campaign platform.
Let the bombing begin . . . .

Do the Liberals read newspapers? Cap and trade is over. Lorrie Goldstein has written about how hospitals in Europe have to cut back on health-care to buy carbon credits. Jeffrey Simpson has written about how the US is looking at cap and dividend-businesses taxed, citizens get dividends. Catch up people.

"-Free Olympic mittens for all Canadians."
Why not. After all, it is the LIEberals colours. It should remind Canadians of their Red Book promises - particurally the GST (Grits Support Tories tax) to change/remove it.
