This is all electioneering. The numbers are complete bullshiat. And that goes for all parties. Dion is hoping to win votes in Quebec off the back of the Alberta and Saskatchewan economies with an illusion being passed off as an environmental plan. Typical Liberal strategy: Support central Canada at the expense of the west. Unfortunately for him, his plan will also negatively impact Ontario. Otherwise it might have succeeded.

Well thanks for your rant. But this is more of the same cynical, ideological bilge that I was talking about earlier.
To address some of your points though:
It is very likely that they had no clue of the country's finances.
The revenue forecasts of the carbon tax are relatively easy to calculate and relatively accurate especially considering the brief 4 year window that they're using.
So I would disagree with you.
