I am not embarrassed at all Ida, just angry with the Liberals and NDP (both national parties) that they would consort with the separtists in order to get what they want.. but then both leaders are from Quebec so should we expect anything different? In my opinion this has hurt the Liberals far more than they could imagine. I guess they forgot the majority of Liberal seats elected are not in Quebec... My gut tells me that Harper set them up... and the 2 parties fell for it. If an election is called end of Jan after defeat of the Throne Speach or the budget the Liberals won't even have a new leader! What was Dion thinking?? or was he? Could it be that his own party set him up to get him out earlier so that Iggy or Rae could step in and get ready for an election?
