He is also reluctant in throwing attacking ads and talking in soundbites, which was Chretien's supposed advice.<BR/><BR/>I was there when Dion gave the speech in Toronto announcing the 30-50 poverty plan. It was so good that caucus members suggested that Dion can make mileage by saying that speech over and over again. Dion was known to have resisted this notion, preferring to do things once.<BR/><BR/>The only thing positive for waiting until the fall is that Dion may become so enthused with the carbon tax that he destroys Harper with a two foot pole campaigning on tax shifting. Otherwise, Dion needs to consider the election campaign as a six week lecture circuit to sell his vision of Canada or risk further erosion.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-20358187.post-10417715462511025662008-04-17T13:03:00.000-04:002008-04-17T13:03:00.000-04:00"Harper’s does better when the House isn’t sitting..."Harper’s does better when the House isn’t sitting.
