Look, the fact that you're so defensive about this is pretty revealing. Harper has made a major concession on EI to the NDP in order to win their support for his government. This is smart, and it will probably work. Why would you consider that such a bad thing that you won't even admit that he did it?

Where did I say its a bad thing and wont admit it?? Strange statement.
And what exactly does this "reveal" about me?

Pretending that this situation is in every sense different from the coalition debacle last fall might help you sleep a little better at night. But that doesn't make it so.

Pretending?? Wow. I sleep just fine though...thanks for your concern. And it is different...completely and entirely.

I'll readily admit that Harper is better at managing the optics than Dion was. (and note--all of the so-called "qualitative" differences between the situation have to do with optics) But the fact is, he needs the support of one of the parties or his government will fall. That means working with them. This is a good thing.

Finally you see the light!! Working WITH them...not AGAINST them... to topple them and usurp power.
Of course he needs support or gets toppled..as the left has been clamoring since last December..its how the system works. But sorry I dont see where the opposition was working WITH the government back then. No where and no how.
And you still claim its the same thing?
