This is a perfect storm. Our system works on the assumption that regardless of whether we have a minority government or not we will always be guaranteed that there will be a clear and decisive majority of rational men and women who will in times of crisis put nation over personal or party interests. It operates on the assumption that our leaders will put country before party.

Somehow we lucked out here. Our bad.

And so as we come down to the wire, and both leaders are digging in, we can only hope that this unprecedented bizarre week gets just a little stranger.

Because in a week where every day we have seen things never before predicted there is a simple solution.

We need one more historic press conference attended by two political enemies. A joint press conference between Stephen Harper and Stephane Dion.

A historic event where they both apologise to their country and their parties, in that order, and then they resign immediately – no questions please.

Because quite frankly they deserve one another and Canada deserves better.
