The launch begins in 8

Lets take an accounting of events shall we?

-The the green shift, isn't going over as well as Dion thought, so now he wants to have his caucus meet and tell him what kind of reception they have been getting from the carbon tax. I'm betting some of the "discussion" will be leaked to the media by the usual "liberal sources".

-The dude that runs Liblogs is looking for some free labour to run the site, because apparently the dude has figured out he can't work for free.....oh the irony.

-Rumours persist that liberal leadership aspirants are trying to push Dion out of the leadership, but if that is true then they may also be holding back so that they don't get assigned blame for teh coup. My guess is that the reason this hasn't happened yet is because since Adscam, patsies are in short supply in the LPC.

-The PM dares Dion to either force an election, or let legislation pass. Right now its 50-50 odds that Dion is going to have his caucus sit on their hands again to avoid an election.

and lastly

Here's a number....89.

Tomorrow its going to be 88.

Eventually at about Nov 4 its going to be 0. After that the number starts going up till October 09.

How many minority governments have lasted longer than 1000 days?

Let me put it this way...if Harper was such a bad PM, why hasn't the opposition brought him down?
Maybe its because they actually agreed with the governing conservatives
