independent Posted October 15, 2008 Report Posted October 15, 2008 I saw no evidence of this in yesterday's election result otherwise they would have voted for the Green Shift and they'd have elected the Liberals. It seems to me that the issue of global warming, and indeed the environment, took a back seat to the economy. Whether this will continue to be the case, who really knows? The Green Shift was just too radical a plan for Canadians to accept. I guess the Liberals have to rethink their policies pretty well from scratch. The Liberals did not get enough time to sell the Green Shift. The Liberals should have put in on the back burner saying it would have to wait until the economy is in better shape. Dion firmly believed in the Green Shift and believes that values are more important than votes.(A concept new too Canadian politics). If Dion gets booted out you would likely get a Leader more interested in winning and less about Liberals values. It is a shame that being a nice guy is not valued in Canadian society. Quote
