Yeah, I know. The PCs are better at raising money on their own, without taxpayer subsidies, than the other two national parties. Clearly, this makes them evil and they must be punished for it.

This was definitely a miscalculation on Harpers part.... but then again they don't call politics a BLOOD SPORT for nothing.
I wonder if he knew about the Layton/Duceppe agreement when he did this? If he did, it was a HUGE miscalculation because he basically forced the Liberals to take part in a coup plan that was ready to be implemented.
I truly believe that if there hadn't been an existing plan/agreement between the NDP and the Separtists, Harpers plan would have succeeded. The Liberals (Dion) wouldn't have had a clue on what to do about it and would have sat on their hands as usual.
