I see it differently. If Ignatieff goes through with his threats, he'll be deemed the culprit for forcing an unneeded election and he'll be the one who will be punished at the ballot box.

Trudeau wasn't punished in 1980.

The Liberal brass seem to have overlearned the lessons of Dion putting forward grand ambitious plans long before the election, giving the Tories lots of time to attack them, and are playing very small-bore, with not much policy on anything.

So it's the opposite of 1993?

Amalgamation should be treated with caution. We in America have already found that out from cities like Jacksonville.

Also, boo Layton. Because I like elections.

It's never a good idea to prop up a Canadian government too long - doing so deprives me of election night suspense.

Canada should just give it up and have elections every month to keep us entertained.

I support this.
