The Conservative minority government will live to fight another day. Michael Ignatieff announced that the Liberals would support the Tory budget, slightly amended, to avoid the collapse of the government for the time being. Maybe this means they can quit squabbling like kindergarteners and actually, you know, govern for a little while?
People in Quebec seem to like Iggy: The Liberals are up to 31% here, according to the latest CROP poll. That’s double the Conservative support and only three points behind the Bloc. Definitely a good sign.
If Ignatieff can manage to consolidate the Liberal party base and make some key gains in the west, the next election might not be such a wash. Harper needs to tread very carefully.
