At least the Liberals pre and post Dion can be considered a competent choice. (even if some of us find them undesirable). Dion just has them in pure crisis mode. Even so, he's still a better choice than the NDP and Greens.

Germany has an unemployment rate of 7.6% and does not have a carbon tax it has a series of taxes levied on oil products and electricity. The European nations that have a relativly long history with carbon taxes(Sweden, Finland Netherlands and Norway) have fared pretty well.
