The Difference Between Harper and Dion

Take a look at Harper on the environment. Everything has been "can't do", negative and all cynical about it - to the point of it took Unca Brian slapping PMSH around before he gave any kind of credence to environmental considerations at all. (and putting Baird in play tells me that Harper doesn't really want to _do_ anything, just posture about it)

Meanwhile, we find Dion putting forward constructive ideas that are actually positive. Dion may be taking a page out of the Green Party's platform last election, but that is just fine with me - what I liked in that platform was the "can-do" approach. Yes, we have to make changes, but those changes bring with them opportunity.

It's about time that we started getting some positive talk again. I'm sick and tired of the "can't do" followed by "we're doing more than Martin" - both lines are absolute crap, and simply demonstrate that the CPC is still operating in "opposition" mode.
