The Conservatives dealing with the Bloc is playing within the rules of the politics game, pure and simple.

God, that statement is so applicable to so many of the things that have gotten people pulling their hair out over the last couple of months.
The Cons delaing with the Bloq, the Libs dealing with the NDP, budgets being altered, cabinet positions being promised, and even individuals crossing party lines... it's all par or the course in politics.
It was going on long before this Liberal gov't, and it will go on long after. The stakes may be higher right now, but the game is the same.
If the Conservatives form the next gov't, particularly if it's a minority, there's no doubt in my mind that they'll play the same moves the Liberals have played to try to secure their own gov't, and this board wil collapse under a mountain of hypocracy or a mountain of crow being eaten.
