On symmetry

From what I can tell it's purely coincidental. But with Danny Williams set to go national with his Anything But Conservative campaign, the NDP may have managed to reinforce how it fits into that message while pitching its own policy on a completely unrelated subject:

The NDP proposes to invest $100-million annually in an expanded Canadian Training and Apprenticeship tax Credit which Mr. Layton said would create 100,000 new training opportunities.

Mr. Layton's proposal to increase access to training programs was endorsed by a private-sector organization that promotes literacy.

“We're really heartened by the NDP's commitment to improving skills training programs in Canada,” said Margaret Eaton, the president of the ABC Canada Literacy Foundation.

“Many of these jobs that used to require less than a high school education are requiring more basic skills, and we're concerned with whether or not Canadians are equipped for jobs in the new economy.”
