Do you seriously not understand what a compromise is? Compromising does not mean that one side entirely gives in to the demands of the other party, so your statement is without merit.

The fact that no one is even acknowledging the possibility that those talks between the two parties was simply CPC window dressing isn't germane to the discussion but that's what you get when you talk politics on the internet.
The Conservatives have acknowledged it, which makes sense since it is in their best interest to try and show that they attempted to compromise. The NDP are blowing it off as "window dressing" which also makes sense because it would not look good if they defeated a government that was open to working with opposition parties. We can't really be certain of the level of compromise that either side was willing to concede to, however, an attempt to compromise was clearly made by the Conservatives.
