Well what do you know. Looks like Canada is about to have
regime change. The Liberals, NDP and BQ are set up to
form a coalition government. Not unprecedented since
none of the aforementioned parties have any use for Mr.
Steven Harper. And as I understand Canadian government,
perfectly legal. I believe it is either this or a vote of no
confidence followed by still another election. Since the last
one cost the Canadian government $300million, another
election would not be such a good thing.

Harper took a chance in the last one hoping to form a majority
government and could not pull it off so this is not too surprising
an outcome. And it is not terribly unusual that the BQ would go
along since Quebec would benefit economically from the NDP and
Liberal proposals and have a far greater say in Parliament.

Quid pro quo or in Quebec do ut des.
