NY Times Highlight Conservative Bungling
Impolitical: New York Times highlights Conservative bungling of the listeriosis outbreak
The editors of the medical journal and others have drawn a parallel between the Harper government’s handling of the listeriosis outbreak and an outbreak of tainted drinking water that killed seven people in Walkerton, Ontario, in 2000. The Conservative government that was in power in Ontario at that time could not overcome a widespread perception that its regulatory cutbacks led to the Walkerton deaths and it was defeated in a subsequent election.

What Dipper Chick Said
Dipper Chick: Awaiting the launch of notanenvironmentalist.ca
So if he's not a leader, can't/won't take on Harper, and he's not actually a green crusader....
what exactly does Stephane Dion have to offer?

Conservatives are Fiscal MIS-managers.
Accidental Deliberations: Myth-busting
The Cons' claim that their combination of reckless tax cuts and
politically-motivated spending hikes somehow qualifies them as
responsible fiscal managers has been laughable at the best of times.
But can we finally put the myth to rest when even Stephen Harper admits that his government has been throwing around more money than it should?

Conservatives to continue to expose Canadians to fatal health risks
Une femme verte: Conservatives to kill meat inspection in Manitoba: Ag Union
The government of Stephen Harper has steadily cut funding for food safety programs and shifted responsibility for safety assurance to the food companies themselves.
Remember the lysteria outbreak already!? Many people died because of the Conservative government reducing on-site inspections. And they want to do it out West now too.
Another good reason to NOT vote Conservative - they will make it easier for you to get killed by un-safe food.
