The Changing Face of Stephane Dion

Watch this video from September 13, 2007:

Note that in it he said that the Liberals cannot support the Throne Speech unless the Conservatives:

1. Immediately inform NATO that Canada's combat mission in Afghanistan will end in 2009
2. Table the Clean Air and Climate Change Act in the next Parliamentary session
3. Put forward a "real" economic plan
4. Put forward a credible plan to address poverty

Now watch this video from October 14, 2007:

What happened to those 4 "must haves"? Hmmmm, perhaps the only "principle" that Monsieur Dion is really concerned about is keeping intact the tiny thread that holds him in power?

Now that the NDP and Bloc Quebecois have said that they will vote against the speech, Dion and his Liberals have the power to decide whether an election will be called or not. Of the four items Dion mentioned a month ago, #1 and #2 clearly did not occur and Liberals across the country will soundly argue that #3 and #4 are not being addressed properly either. Yet watch for him and his party to abstain enough members from the vote so as not to bring the government down.

What pride in their own convictions! What principles! I wonder if his dog, Kyoto, is still Stephane's best friend?

How cynical must their views of us, the people be, to think that anyone has such a short memory and is actually buying into this crummy political theater.
