- Chris Selley: At all costs maintain the drama
-
Today's storyline: It'll be surprising and/or fascinating if the government survives the week, because the Liberals promised to bring it down at the first opportunity, and because it'll mean one or both of the NDP and Bloc supported the government.
Problems with the storyline:
- Michael Ignatieff never said he'd bring down the government at the first opportunity, only that he'd table a non-confidence motion at the first opportunity — which isn't this week.
- Gilles Duceppe said 11 days ago that he'd support the government if the matter at hand was simply the home renovation tax credit. 11 days ago, people! Yet today it's being reported like it's new news.
- What on earth is so interesting and/or fascinating about the NDP playing ball with the government when an election is clearly not in its best interests right now? As John Ivison said 13 days ago, "turkeys don't vote for Christmas."
- Michael Ignatieff never said he'd bring down the government at the first opportunity, only that he'd table a non-confidence motion at the first opportunity — which isn't this week.

About Me
- Unhypentated Canadian
- I lean to the right but I still have a heart and if I have a mission it is to respond to attacks on people not available to protect themselves and to point out the hypocrisy of the left at every opportunity.MY MAJOR GOAL IS HIGHLIGHT THE HYPOCRISY AND STUPIDITY OF THE LEFTISTS ON TORONTO CITY COUNCIL. Last word: In the final analysis this blog is a relief valve for my rants/raves.
