Shame. Delaying the inevitable.
With all the big money going into ad campaigns and to bought out Conservative media (like the CanWest and Sun chains), we do need to re-focus on the coalition at hand... Harper's iron-grip on government won't give way to a "coalition of the willing" parties in Parliament (everyone else) so quickly.
I suggest tomorrow morning - with the first press conference of the day - we invite progressive elements in Mr. Harper's party to join us in our coalition. Once again bringing Canadians together, and demonstrating this is not just partisan - as Harper is implying...
We know of Conservative MPs already speaking with Liberals (Nina Grewal in Fleetwood Port Kells has been mentioned [knowing she can't possibly beat the combined votes of the NDP and Liberals in her riding], as well as a few in Ontario, etc.). Let's extend an open invitation to these Conservatives to join the coalition.
Time to focus on the country. Let's just get rid of Harper and have an all-party coalition get us through this economic crisis (led by strong Liberal fiscal managers, and the panel of experts).
