The manly french-canadian panelist woman on CBC was saying last night that in the agreements for the coalition, the NDP had agreed to drop certain corporate tax schemes they had proposed, the Libs had dropped any idea of a carbon tax, and the Bloc had dropped any Quebec nationalism items, so that the three could find common ground. I don't know how reliable her information is or how she came by it, but she said that the compromises made were pretty significant.
