However, it’s a little mystifying. Not only will the three parties
combine to give Canadian voters what they clearly didn’t want, they’re
going to yank control from Harper just when the economy is tanking. A
wiser opposition would allow Harper to stumble for a while, then call a
national election and take the issue to the voters. Instead, the
opposition wants to take charge now — and potentially all of the blame
for what follows. In fact, they’ll also take the blame for taking
control of the government and throwing its economic plans into turmoil.
Small wonder these guys lose elections. I wouldn’t be too surprised
to see Harper smiling at being taken off the hook in such a manner, and
at the prospects of voter backlash when it falls apart.
