WTF, Canada?

There's apparently machinations underway that would shut the party with the most seats in Ottawa's House of Commons out of the government in favor of a coalition of the Liberals, NDP, and the (nominally) secessionist Bloc Quebecois. Colby Cosh thinks PM Stephen Harper should call the coalition's bluff and watch them shoot themselves in the foot. A lot. Apparently not everyone in the Liberal Party is happy with what's already being called "Coupscam", either.

Lots of news and links at Kate's Place and of course at Bourque.

Well, yeah...but my understanding is that there hasn't been a vote of no-confidence yet, and he's still the PM of a minority government. And more to the point, it looks like Layton and Dion had cut a deal even before the election, but didn't bother to let their parties know they were now part of a Grit/Dipper coalition. Nobody in any of the three Federalist parties has covered themselves with glory, that's for sure.
