So this is my potentially irrational train of scared thought:

1) Story comes out the the NDP/Liberals will form a coalition with Bloc "support".
2) In the conference call Layton mentions not to worry about the Bloc. Agreements have been made with them "long ago".
3) In the conference call Layton mentions that "What we really want is just to get Harper out and get the new group in because it’s going to be a hell of a lot better for everything we believe in, correct? Correct."
4) Everyone recognizes that this coalition is on very tenuous ground because the Bloc could submarine it at any point.

Adding those up, I fear a quick but short lived stealing of power. In this time we'd see a quick "stealing" of big oil's money (carbon tax - what they believe in) and giving it to the big union sectors (forsetry, auto - what they believe in). Then this thing will topple and we'll have an election. Who knows what will happen in it, but the damage will have been done.

God, doesn't the quote from above give you the creeps?!?
