CTV Newsnet panel
I had my partisan hat on today, as part of CTV Newsnet's political panel, renamed "On the Hill". You can watch it here.
I was fascinated by the extremely agitated response to my emphasis of the fact that the opposition coalition consists of three parties -- including the Bloc Quebecois -- not just the Liberals and NDP.
They obviously hated that, especially the New Democrat out in B.C. -- I chuckled to myself when she said listening to me was "a bit debilitating"!
Both the Liberal and the NDP wanted to talk about anything other than the Bloc. I'll have to keep that in mind. I think they're a little embarrassed about it -- at least when they're off Parliament Hill and in their ridings.
By the way, here's the written contract between the Liberals, NDP and Bloc Quebecois. I analyzed it here.
Two weeks to go until the Conservative bring down their budget. What are the chances that the opposition parties will vote against it, thus bringing down the government and risking the Governor-General putting the country to a new election, where the NDP and Liberals can feel the wrath of voters in reaction to their Bloc coalition?
About one in a million.
