ITScam: an oddity

So it was the NDP that pushed the RCMP for an investigation. Not the Conservatives, although they likely have the most to gain from such a thing. Interesting.

Know what it makes me think? Here's the Winnipeg Conservative's Revelation Forecast (©):

Stephen Harper and Jack Layton already have a loose coalition/agreement going on. Jack does Stephen's dirty work during the election (notice how the NDP isn't even bothering to attack the CPC?) and Stephen co-operates with Jack in the new Parliament when he's Prime Minister.

Think about it. Stephen gets the Liberals smeared and the MSM can't blame those "scary, angry Conservatives" for stopping the gravy train. Jack gets his ideas listened to, and supports a minority Conservative government for a while. Legislation that they can both agree to gets passed, and Canada moves forward.

What Jack hasn't figured out is that Stephen would likely need him at some point, anyhow, to co-operate on some things. So in essence Stephen isn't really conceding anything. Just making Jack feel like he's getting something. But what Stephen gets in return--it's pure gold: the Canadian public seeing him in action, not as a scary angry man, but as a thoughtful, intelligent man who loves Canada. Which leads to even more seats in the next election--2007, 2008, whenever.

Brilliant strategy.

If it's even true. ;)
