Are you really surprised?

The poisoned pen has gone both ways.
And for the record, I have no trouble in removing public funding for political parties, or recinding the right to strike for the public workers during a time of crisis.

Hey, I'm with you here. I think it is prudent to wait and see how the Americans go, which is essentially what Harper was going to do. It's just so sad that the public funding thing was there because this issue would have been avoided without it.
Ultimately, it's pointless to assign blame at this point as what is important is what happens next. I still truly believe this coalition won't happen because I just don't see how the Liberals stand to benefit in the long run. I would guess that the Conservatives would eventually offer some plan for stimulus based on certain conditions, even if not implemented and then the Liberals will scream victory and bail out of the coalition.
