The desperate conservatives have released "news" regarding an NDP caucus meeting that they were invited to listen in on. Oh the scandal? That the Bloc (or should I say SEPARATISTS) and NDP have been conducting "secret shady meetings"to reverse the election results in their quest for a MASSIVE power grab.<BR/><BR/>I sure hope it was caught on YouTube because it is so over the top you can't help but laugh. What a weasel.<BR/><BR/>Also go vote for coalition:<BR/><BR/>http://www.winnipegfreepress.com/Beijing Yorkhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05579118045254845839noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9560953.post-42375764320970407212008-11-30T14:44:00.000-05:002008-11-30T14:44:00.000-05:00I assume everyone else believes, as I do, that if ...<I>I assume everyone else believes, as I do, that if Harper loses this week that he's out as Conservative leader, right?</I><BR/><BR/>I can't imagine any other outcome. He seems to have painted himself into a corner (or as Dawg said, put himself in <I>zugzwang</I>). <BR/><BR/>Heck, I figured that only getting a second minority, as he just did, would be enough to bring the knives out, or at the very least have the party cutthroats slipping them out of the scabbard "just to check the edge, don't y'know". <BR/><BR/>He must know it, don't you think? That's why he's backpedalling so desperately right now. <BR/><BR/>Someone on another comment thread somewhere speculated that the Cons must have foreseen the Opposition's reaction to the economic statement, but I wonder. Some of them did, like that fellow you quoted in this post, but I'm betting Harper didn't. Part of his pattern seems to be that he's so convinced of his own brilliance he sometimes misses the obvious; it's a character flaw, a kind of rigidity, an assumption that one's ability is so stellar, one's Plan is so perfect, that Reality will in all cases unfold exactly as one has forecast. <BR/><BR/>Finagle laughs at such hubris.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
