If Bob Rae is for it, you know it has to be bad for Canada...
If Saskatchewan Premier Brad Wall is going to criticize the federal Liberals' key election plank, he better be prepared for a fight, says former Ontario premier and Liberal candidate Bob Rae.
During a stop in Regina on Saturday for the official opening of Palliser candidate Cal Johnston's campaign office, Rae defended his party's Green Shift plan to tax carbon in exchange for income tax cuts.
...
Last week after meeting with his Alberta counterpart, Wall raised concerns the climate change plan could be harmful to the province's economy. Wall has said he'll release the province's analysis before the election. Rae wants to see the math.
"I've seen some wild statements about things that bear no relationship to any fact of which I'm aware," Rae told reporters as he stood flanked by other Saskatchewan Liberal candidates, including Ralph Goodale, the province's only Liberal MP.
...
That's funny, Bob. The people of Canada want to see the Liberal math on Green Shift, but that hasn't been forthcoming either.
Bob Rae; The Canadian political equivalent of the sound of one hand clapping.
Mind you, it's a nice change from the Canadian political equivalent of Foghorn Leghorn, Ralph Goodale...
