’Just how stupid do they think Canadians are?’

The Ottawa Citizen editorial board considers the Harper government’s new position on cap-and-trade.

Here we are in 2012 and the Conservatives’ promised cap-and-trade system is nowhere to be seen. But political parties not keeping their election promises is nothing new. What is new is demonizing Idea X by saying Idea Y is better, then a few years later, when a different party is in Opposition, claiming Idea Y is identical to Idea X.

Just how stupid do they think Canadians are?
