- May 2005. I thought he was referring to the one that actually worked out. -- nm - Name Withheld By Request Dec 2, 08:22 1
  - I know that during Question Period yesterday, Layton rebuffed accusations from Harper by pointing to his past coalition with Harper himself. -- nm - Mop Dec 2, 08:23
They succeeded and the Martin government fell in November 2005. -- nm - Name Withheld By Request Dec 2, 08:20 2
- and it's important to note that Harper and Layton couldn't have done dick on their own at that point. -- nm - Reagen Dec 2, 08:23 1
  - There was nothing as formal as the deal signed yesterday. - Name Withheld By Request Dec 2, 08:25
there was no pact, they just all agreed it was time to force an election. -- nm - Reagen Dec 2, 08:20
Times of India is calling it a "Political coup", btw. They're using my own sensationalist rhetoric! -- (link) - Mop Dec 2, 08:19 1
