Harper did what he needed to do (or to appear to be doing), he reached out and offered the new leader of the Liberals, Ignatieff, a chance to work together with him on the budget.

Ignatieff is taking the high road on this and not forcing the issue of the coalition or the vote of non-confidence. His words, "a coalition if necessary, but not necessarily a coalition" is exactly what is needed. The threat of a coalition is a strong weapon to use against the Conservative minority. Perhaps Ignatieff can keep Harper in line.
