It's quite a stretch to say that Harper could come out of this unscathed.
Harper will be weakened in parliament no doubt. He will have to consult with opposition more than any time before as PM. As such, the Conservative agenda will be watered down.

Only in your Liberal fantasy world IMO.
What changes? he will still be in the exact same position he was before this whole coup was attempted...meaning he will be leading a minority government.
maybe he will feel some backlash for the ill-advised inclusion of eliminating tax-payer funding to parties...but beyond that, what has he really done? Shown will and an instinct to step up in parliament yesterday and call this what it was all along?
The ones that are gonna get cooked are Dion and Layton...they have both made it abundantly clear that they are willing to jump into bed with seperatists for the good of themselves....something I hope their constiuents hammer them on when they get a chance. Well Dion is a lame duck anyhow, so he doesn't matter, but Layton has shown his hand...and now he will have to live with it the ret of his political life. Good.
