UPDATE: In my travels today on the Hill, I ran across three fellows who are putting together the show for the carbon-tax release. They say there will be puppets. I believe they are joking.
"Liberal Leader Stéphane Dion Announces the Liberal Green Shift

Is this an omen of what's to come? Are Canadians going to be railroaded into another tax?
"Once I built a railroad, made it run,
Made it race against time ...
Now it's done,
Buddy, can you spare a dime?" Yip Harburg (1898-1981), U.S. songwriter.
Or, to paraphrase the Bard:
A tax by any other name [shift] would smell as noxious.

I don't listen to journalists (opinions) much, I don't listen to over hype by the Tories (must be afraid), but I did hear some of it today - I must say it sounds interesting.
