Not so fast... Harper!

The Globe and Mail: Stronach crosses floor to join Liberals

Holy Crap!

Having kids is supposed to change everything...

In the same way, this changes everything in this fragile minority parliament...

A couple thoughts that I think we're going through now (subject to swearing in) Minister Stronach's mind:

-I won in a bellweather 905-belt riding that has been a Liberal seat until I won. Holding this seat now is not guranteed.
-Polls are saying that Ontarians and a majority of Canadians do not want an election right now.
-Recent polls show the Liberals with a 12% lead in Ontario.

What does this mean to her relationship with Mr. MacKay?

This obviously moves the needle further in favour of the Liberals in this game of parliamentary chicken, but is it really better for Paul Martin's Liberals to wait for an election? What other fit will hit the sham between now and then?

I love Parliamentary politics, its so freakin interesting!
