If Parliment is parouged (sp?) the CPC will get through this simply because the coalition will keep walking into sharp objects for the next two months however the next time the CPC has a leadership convention Harper will suffer for this

Good post.
And I think once the Libs have a new leader they'll do pretty well out of it in the end too. They'll paint the coalition scheme as all Dion and Layton (who cares about the seperatists), the crisis origin as Harper's doing and voila. This isn't wishful thinking on my part per se, I just can see it spun like that. Actually thats not spin.
