I'm hoping that the government stays in place for a while, but I have a feeling that Ignatieff is itching for an election fight, and he's going to follow through with the coalition just to trigger an election.

Interesting comment article:

you have to wonder whether the new Liberal party leader knows anything at all about the organization he's in charge of.

Mr. Ignatieff continues to make pronouncements and occupy positions that utterly ignore traditional Liberal party thinking.

.....

He also appears determined to ignore the fact western Canada is a secondary member of Confederation, to be tapped for revenue but otherwise ignored as much as possible, and regularly criticized as selfish, divisive or unpatriotic when it questions the higher priority justifiably accorded to Ontario and Quebec. He now seems to have gone so far as to praise the oilsands as a crucial and desirable asset Canada can use to good effect in its relations with the U.S., a notion Conservatives have appreciated for some time but Liberals have rejected because the oilsands obviously are located in the wrong part of the country.
