Why is it when using the different ways of expressing attributes the textblock shifts?
<TextBlock Canvas.Left="0" Canvas.Top="0" FontSize="72" >
<TextBlock.Foreground>Red
</TextBlock.Foreground>
DIET
</TextBlock>
verses
<TextBlock Canvas.Left="0" Canvas.Top="0" FontSize="72" Foreground="Red">
DIET
</TextBlock>
The later is more left then the first. Is there a reason for this?
Well, there is no reason for this and there isn't any difference, just a bug in the Visual Studio Designer. Try it in runtime and see for yourself :)
Comparison between Visual Studio 2010 Designer, Blend and Runtime with the following Xaml

<TextBlock Canvas.Left="0" Canvas.Top="0" FontSize="72">
<TextBlock.Foreground>Red</TextBlock.Foreground>
DIET
</TextBlock>
<TextBlock Canvas.Left="0" Canvas.Top="100" FontSize="72" Foreground="Red">
