Would Gerald Chipeur reallly have sent a letter to the Bloc proposing a formal coalition without consulting anyone. I mean I think the guy's got a pretty big ego, but I also believe he's a pretty loyal party guy.

It's possible that leadership weren't consulted. I could believe that. However, I don't believe for a minute that back then they felt it was "making a deal with a devil," "un-Canadian," or "treasonous" like they are claiming the Liberal-NDP deal with the Bloc is. You'd think if the party thought it was so vile, that Chipeur would have faced some sort of censure for holding talks with "the devil" about some sort of coalition.
