| Both Harper and Ignatieff stand out as big targets in the Canadian progressive leaning cultural landscape. It will be interesting to see how moderate liberals (and conservatives) react to Ignatieff (especially at the CBC!). Anyhow, I only see Layton gaining more ground. |

| I'm going to go with #2. Harper was likely getting used to the Liberals bending over and didn't expect them find their backbone again. I just don't know about that exact logic. It's one thing to expect them to allow a policy which would be ideologically distasteful to them and it's another thing to... |

I am purple since I am a red tory (old red tory along the lines of George Grant) who is sympathetic to, but not entirely convinced by, blue fiscal policy. I gue... |
