That would explain why there's a similar letter every time there's a minority government then. Oh wait... there isn't.

Can't see the puck in the net, but it sure as heck isn't anywhere else. We don't need Obama's birth certificate to know he's an American and we don't need a letter that says "coalition" to know what the "close consultation" between Harper, Layton and Duceppe was about... especially when two of the three are willing to tell us exactly what it was about.
I'll note that Harper just denies it was a coalition (because he thinks the parper trail isn't strong enough), but won't tell us what else it could have been. There's no evidence whatsoever to show that it isn't a coalition. (Therefore, by your logic, it is not not a coalition.) All the evidence other than Harper's word points towards a coalition.
