Interesting that even Warren Kinsella, Liberal apologist and former JC advisor, thinks the Dion address last night was an embarrassment.

Harper is meeting with the GG right now. I can't imagine that she won't grant the prorouge until late January. Between now and then Harper and team will put together a solid budget, and the coalition will collapse. There will be some stability, and if the coalition attempts to defeat the government in January, we'll likely go back to the polls as opposed to letting this farce govern. By then it will have been almost 4 months, and another election - while expensive and unnecessary - is the lesser of the two evils.

I find Layton completely hypocritical in his comments claiming Harper lost the confidence of the house over the economy. If that is so, why was he having meetings TWO DAYS after the last election to setup this coalition? The Tories hadn't had a chance to do anything by that point, but already the talks were starting. The NDP and Libs never had any intention of abiding by the will of the people, and are only interested in a power grab in any way possible. Harper made a tactical error in not realizing how dangerous and partisan they could be, but I'd bet he won't make that mistake again.
