Fool me twice: Dion's Progressive Cred

Murray Dobbin has revised his assessment of Stephane Dion as "progressive". As unlikely as it is, it would be neat if this signaled a much faster turnaround in the public's willingness to take the hype of a supposedly progressive Liberal Party at face value. I confess to having very little faith that Canadians will ever stop voting Liberal unless they're really pissed off, but could it be that they'll do so without believing that for which there is no evidence?

At least then we could be reassured that Canadians are actually in favour of screwing the poor, enriching the elite, overthrowing democratically elected governments abroad, killing people who resist US occupation, and letting the planet be irreparably damaged, instead of just giving that agenda an electoral mandate.
