Dion's "Green Shift" REJECTED by Ontario Liberals

And the response from the Liblogers? [cue the crickets]

The day after the massive blow to their campaign from their Ontario Provincial cousins, the McGuinty Liberals at Queen's Park, and not a peep has been heard from the Liblogs.

Mind you, there's been barely a peep from the MSM too.

The Toronto Star: (buried 2/3 into a minor story)

"Duncan added this is no time to bring in a carbon tax – something his federal Liberal cousins are proposing, with a carbon tax in their election platform.

"One of the things that I think would be a mistake right now is massive shifts in the tax burden at a time when there's uncertainty," he said."

The Ottawa Citizen:

Carbon tax a 'mistake,' Duncan says
Dion promotes economic plan, takes fire from Ontario Grit minister

Liberal leader Stéphane Dion was sideswiped by one of his own yesterday, when Ontario's Liberal finance minister, Dwight Duncan, said it would be "a mistake" to implement a carbon tax in the midst of shaky economic times.

"One of the things that I think would be a mistake right now is massive shifts in tax burden at a time when there's uncertainty," Mr. Duncan told reporters.

When reminded that Mr. Dion and his federal Liberal cousins were attempting to do just that, Mr. Duncan stumbled.

Of course, we all know that Mr. Harper and the Tories are going to make hay with this one... hopefully the media will pick up on it by then.
