"Rae wants to get out there and show caucus that he's the guy that can sell this coalition and hold it together, and that sets him up as a contrast to Michael Ignatieff, who is lukewarm to the deal at best."I guess I'm beginning to see why these guys all think Iggy's the smart one.

Where, I wondered, was Michaëlle Jean? Perhaps Mr. Harper had left her hog-tied in the basement of Rideau Hall while he forged her signature on official documents.*
Mr. Rae went on to swear that, no matter what's in next month's stimulus budget, his coalition will never, never, never be stimulated to co-operate with Mr. Harper, because Mr. Harper is a lying liar who can't be trusted.
So much for the spirit of compromise and conciliation in a time of national crisis.
