*sigh* It's not *JUST* a Carbon tax. What he is saying is that the Conservatives are attacking this as if it is a new tax that Canadians will have to pay. Dion is saying it is a "Green Shift", meaning that it is a carbon tax PLUS A DECREASE IN PERSONAL INCOME TAX, which the Conservatives are not talking about.
Which speaks to why the Liberals shouldn't have chosen someone with such weak English skills. We know that Conservatives like to twist words completely out of context.
(FYI - I oppose the "Green Shift", I just don't oppose it by lying (cause recession) and purposefully taking the words of someone learning English out of context. I think that it is something that needs to be put on the table and discussed in earnest, something I don't think Dion has the ability to do.)
