Show us your numbers Harper!

The Globe & Mail suggests the Green Shift will not cause significant economic pain.

Surprise, surprise... the doom and gloom that Harper suggests will come about if Dion's plan comes to fruition is a bunch of hot air.

He [economist Marc Jaccard] says nobody in the worldwide economic community who follows carbon taxes believes there's “any kind of economic impact” from a levy at the level the Liberals propose.

As well, Dr. Jaccard says his preliminary analysis shows that the Liberal plan would outperform the Conservative one when it comes to achieving emissions reductions. He said that's because there's a number of structural flaws that would render the Tory plan ineffective.

Uh oh... in addition to being economically inert, it looks like the Tory plan = ineffective, Liberal plan = effective.

Woops! Looks like Harper is winging it on his analysis of the Green Shift... RIGHT WINGING it.

Dispense with the talking points Mr. Prime Minister and get down to telling the truth about your opponents.

A.L.
