The Globe and Mail: Tories will call truce if vote fails

It seems the Tories have decided to tone it down a bit... Seems they may have read the tea leaves and decided that one day of turning the House of Commons into a circus was probably something Canadians could handle but two-three days, well that was plain crazy... Besides that, it wasn't playing well outside the party faithful.

My thought is that this gamble was causing some blowback to the Tory camp. That, and while Paul Martin may have been "dithering" as a minority PM he's turned out to be one wily politician in the run-up to this impending election.

I think it's masterful... Letting the Tories look ridiculous and like political opportunists, willing to sell their souls to the BQ-devil in order to move to the other side of the Commons. Taking the high road after the public hears of 3 days of Tory/BQ antics shutting down the government.

Don't get me wrong the Grits are playing political games... they're just doing a better job winning the PR battle.

Well, at least the question will be settled in 3 days!
