I already stated that I'm not sure that this coalition is something that I support, so that is as far as I'm going to defend this.

Further, I laid out why Harper should be waiting for the stimulus package details rather bluntly above this. I think that as a plainly identified liberal on this board I understand compromise quite well!
Didn't they back off of all of the controversial legislation that they tabled? That's called compromise and that's called appeasement.
