|
Liberal Leader St�phane Dion told his caucus Tuesday that the Conservative government is so panicked it's copying Liberal ideas and policies.
Dion said Prime Minister Stephen Harper made environmental promises last week that are similar to ones the Liberals have long called for.
Harper and the Conservatives promised to spend $1.5 billion on alternative energy technologies, $230 million on clean energy technologies and $300 million on helping Canadians make their homes and businesses more energy-efficient.
"We must have done something right because Mr. Harper is now frantically trying to imitate us," Dion said, in French, at the start of his caucus meeting.

Dion may let disgraced Liberal back into party
JOAN BRYDEN
Canadian Press
QUEBEC � The sponsorship scandal came back to haunt Liberals Wednesday after newly minted leader Stephane Dion suggested at least one of the organizers disgraced by the affair should be welcomed back into the party.
Mr. Dion was forced to clarify after telling a Quebec newspaper he has no objections to Marc-Yvan Cote, a former key party organizer in eastern Quebec, being allowed to resume his Liberal membership.
He told Le Soleil that Mr. Cote's punishment was exaggerated, that he'd recognized his error and shouldn't be penalized for life. He stressed, however, that no decision had been made to readmit Mr. Cote and that it was up to the party president to decide.
Mr. Cote was one of 10 members banned for life from the federal party by former prime minister Paul Martin in a bid to contain the political damage from the sponsorship scandal. |

I like this one comment from the Globe & Mail article:

I think that on environmental issues, the tories copy the liberals so they have the CHANCE of getting their support.
How are liberals going to disagree with their OWN plan? They won't! Just say "we thought of it first". |
