Until this point, the groundwork for a coalition was a contingency plan. If Harper played his cards differently, it wouldn't be an issue. He gambled and lost at a time his that his mandate is weak... which is too bad, because this country could use 4 or 5 years of stability. A little less smugness and an olive branch would have went a long way I think.
