Clearly Stephane Dion...

...hasn't fully considered all of the implications of his... "So what, if I'm an awkward, geeky, socially-isolated, egghead kinda guy" initiative.

That useful, productive, socially beneficial stuff... is way over-rated.

UPDATE: That Steffi... what a kidder!

-- WINNIPEG -- Liberal Leader Stephane Dion said today that his Green Shift plan featuring a controversial carbon tax is not a major part of his election platform.

"You have said it was but never me," Dion told reporters.

His surprise declaration follows by a day campaign appearances in the Toronto area where he failed to mention it once in his speeches.

You can alsmost see the Toronto Star Editorial board start to bleed from their ears over... "Dion’s slight change in approach."

LAST WORD: In other "shifty green" news...

"Unfortunately, just saying 'Green Collar Jobs' and clicking your heels together won’t buy groceries and pay the mortgage."
