Will Mr. Dion's gamble pay off? Are the people ready for a Carbon Tax? Will it be misunderstood when gas prices are skyrocketing? Will Harper and company be able to exploit the situation?
In a political election, perceptions and rhetoric take over. If Dion loses, it will not only be the defeat of Dion and the Liberal Party, it will also be a defeat for the issue of global warming. Carbon taxes can be a risky election issue.
Time will tell. Reminds me of Joe Clark in 1980 when he wanted to impose certain excise taxes on gasoline, he was soon defeated by Trudeau. Dion's carbon tax is a risky strategy.
