Does Dion realize that there won't be any 'mulligans', 'take backs', or 'thats unfair'.

[Tman1]

Get rid of all the other eye gouging taxes in Canada and I might consider it.

Let's see how well Harper does debating in French

"Je m'appelle Steven Arper"
"uh..."
"ummm..."
"Les libérals sont umm... wrong"
"uh..."
"Merçi"

Are you suggesting that Harper can't speak French?
Have you even seen him do a speech or debate?

Why do you comment when you're so poorly informed?

his French is not perfect, but compared to Dion's English heck compared to Dion's French

[DrCaleb]

In theory, this could be kind of fun. But where are Harper and Dion going to find the 'adults' needed?

Isn't that the pot calling the kettle black?

As to your poll... I'll just leave it at that.

While I'm no fan of either Dion or Harper, what I was trying to humorously point out is that Dion would kick Harper's ass in a debate conducted in French. The other point, in case you don't read French, was to point out that the Harper line is still to attack the liberals with simplistic arguments like, "Canada will get screwed", while avoiding claiming anything of substance for his own party.

I'm pretty sure that everyone in the country is well aware of Dion's problems with English, including Dion. You have to give him credit for having the balls to challenge Harper to a debate in his second language.

Harper seems the kind of politician not interested by making Canadians grow as adults, he only wants to see them play in tar sands with big toys for the greatest benefits of his campaign contributors.

Why? Harper speaks well enough to get by and he certainly wouldn't be beaten by Dion in a debate.

Especially in an adult debate.

Income Redistribution??? I thought this was a Carbon Tax not a welfare program. I don't know about the rest of you but I really don't feel like having MY income redistributed.

Screw you Dion!

Your income is always redistributed, every time you pay taxes, and every time you buy anything. If you don't like income redistribution, go live on Mars.

[N_Fiddledog]

How much you enjoy Liberal style "income redistribution" depends on which side of adscam you were. If you were one of the few getting the money, it rocked. In the long run that's what a carbon tax will be. The money will redistribute itself where the Liberals want it. Guess where they want it.

In a debate Harper would cut that punk Dion to pieces. Harper is way too smart for any Liberal Fascist...!!!
