Canada's Dion Runs a Risk on Carbon Tax, Party Members Warn. By Bruce Campion-Smith, Toronto Star, May 15, 2008. "[Canada's Liberal Party candidate for prime minister] Stéphane Dion [strongly defended] the idea of a carbon tax on Wednesday in the face of warnings from within his party that the proposal could be political suicide... [Liberal Party] Caucus members 'massively and aggressively' warned Dion that the sales job thus far has been abysmal, according to one MP, leaving the Tories to paint the plan as a tax grab that will hit motorists and homeowners... But Dion accused the Conservatives of twisting the truth, and he voiced confidence that Canadians would be receptive."
