"This" coalition is an unmitigated disaster.

When Paul Martin was PM, Harper drafted letters to the Bloc and NDP wanting to form a coalition gov't with Harper in charge. How is that different from whats happening now?
Harper should shut up about it ASAP

"Today [Mr. Harper] is saying never, never did he intend to bring down the Martin government. Let me read to you what he wrote at the time," Mr. Duceppe said.
" 'You could be asked by the Prime Minister to dissolve the 38th Parliament at any time should the House of Commons fail to support some part of the government's program,' " he read, then added: "For a guy who didn't want to bring down the government, he writes some strange things."
The letter went on to advise Ms. Clarkson that she should first consult the opposition parties "and consider all of your options" before dissolving Parliament. It added that the three opposition parties had been "in close consultation."
Mr. Duceppe said the letter's intent was clear. The other option open to Ms. Clarkson would have been to invite the opposition parties to form a government. And clearly Mr. Harper did not see Mr. Layton, "a dangerous socialist with 19 MPs," nor Mr. Duceppe, "the nasty separatist," heading that government, Mr. Duceppe said.

Harper is warning people that unless the Conservatives win a majority, there will be a Liberal-led coalition government with the NDP and Bloc Quebecois.
However, the Opposition parties say maybe the PM can clarify his own plans to seize power, through a coalition in 2004 when there was a Liberal minority.
