It's funny, most of the pundits I heard on the CBC, from all sides of the political spectrum, seemed willing to give Layton a pass on this one. I think they'd rather send their time getting their licks in on Paul Martin.
Besides, Liberals aside, they are going to have to work with Layton if there is a minority government. No need to burn bridges.
I heard Ducieppe on CBC Radio this morning saying that if he forms the official opposition he would seek to bring down the govenment in a non-confidence vote the first chance he had.
I have to admit, I am shocked at the surge in the polls for the Conservatives in Quebec of all places. They may actually win some seats.
In the end, if the Conservatives win a majority I will be pissed.
