2. This is in my view a huge blunder for the Liberals. If they govern their way out of this recession, they may come out OK--but the optics are already very bad. If they also end up being a failed government, the party is toast for at least a decade. Very risky play, and I'm a little surprised that they don't see it. My hope is it's a bluff.

Fine, but do you really want a government that's holy defendant on the bloc to stay in power. Its fine to have to deal with the bloc on a deal by deal basis, but the Liberals and NDP are basically going to have to do everything that the Bloc wants or the government falls and those two parties are looking at a conservative majority coming out of the next election.
