Dion's whole tax platform including the Green Shift was loonier then anything the NDP proposed. His and Ignatieff's universal Day Care program was very much born in the mind of the Quebec Lib left.
Ignatieff did little to separate himself from Dion's platform.
The Liberal's were not sitting in the center platform wise in the last campaign.
Also the Greenshift which targeted Energy companies but excluded the Ontario manufacturing base was diversion politics at its best.
You also have to look at the level's that the Liberals were going to raise corporate taxation to to pay for their social programs.
The Libs really haven't been a centrist party since Paul Martin's day.
Now they're moving towards being the party of empty headed platitudes.
