quote:The Federal NDP's support for the "Bait and Switch" environmental program of Carbon Credits, amounted to so much green coloured packaging, and it did nothing for the NDP at all, other give them the opportunity to say they had an "environment plan."

Its common knowledge that the Liberal carbon tax was a disaster for them - esp. in rural and remote areas. By opposing the carbon tax, the NDP was able to feast on the Liberal carcass and win a scad of new seats across northern Ontario and made big popular vote gains in the Atlantic provinces and in industrail towns in Ontario. If (God forbid), the NDP had adopted the so-called green party's strategy of "me-too" with the Dion tax grab plan - we probably would have been reduced to 10 seats.
