The confusion should have been their endorsement of CPC but not Harper.
But editorial of any publication will match management, or editor will be changed - every time.

I'm impressed by Coyne. Remains one of my favorite columnists in the country.

I voted this morning. Lineups, which is good to see. People processed inside 5 minutes. All good.

I disagree with the last sentence of point #5.

I think I just heard NDP candidate Andrew Thomson suggests on CPAC that the NDP might work w a Conservative minority to make Parliament work

Uh oh...

lol, Mulcair is such a petulant dbag. Would rather power share with the guy he's claimed must be thrown out all election than with Trudeau.

That would probably be the final nail in the NDP coffin in terms of base support.

What a bunch of power hungry SOBs... can they not stick to even that position?

[Caged Great]

Yes, the far left wing party working with the far right wing party. That'll make a ton of sense.

You want to see the NDP get roughly 0% of the vote moving forward, that's the way to do it.

[crazy_eoj]

Good for Coyne, always like his opinions and clearly he needed to stand up for his rights as a columnist.

[Joborule]

Oh jeez, the fallout from that would be popcorn worthy.

Personally though, I hope that doesn't happen, and Liberal minority is what we roll with for the next little while.

[Hemi-Cuda]

So Muclair shows his true colors, power at any cost. Really hoping for a Liberal majority now

Mulcair is a weasel and you cannot take what he says as the truth. He will always go back on his word.

[Looch City]

Must've been a big snowball?

"There isn't a snowball's chance in hell," Mulcair said Wednesday.

"I think that anybody who's attended a single question period over the course of the last several years would be able to tell you that there's no likelihood that the NDP would, under any circumstance, be able to support Mr. Harper."

[burn_this_city]

Imagine them haggling over legislation. I bet they couldn't even agree on where to order food from.

[Slava]

Well Mulcair was already considering the CPC before the NDP if the money was good enough years ago. He's obviously a man of principle.

Where's the ghost of Jack Layton when you need him.

[Senator Clay Davis]

I really don't believe the talk that the NDP would form a coalition with the CPC to defeat a Trudeau minority, unless the NDP MPs were simultaneously crossing the floor and joining the CPC. But it'd be all temporary as Liberals would win the next election in a total laugher and the NDP would be below the Christian Heritage and Libertarian party's in the Canadian political landscape.
