Idle thoughts of a relatively libertarian Republican in Cambridge, MA, and whomever he invites. Mostly political.

According to the numbers currently up at Elections Canada, the Liberals have 135 and the socialist NDP -- their most obvious coalition partners -- have 19. There are 308 seats in the House. They're one shy of a majority (the Conservatives have 99, the Bloc has 54, and there's one independent, who I believe tends Conservative).
Nobody breathe too hard.
I think Harper needs to give Martin a reason not to team up with the NDP (especially if those numbers end up changing in the wrong direction). If you give a damn about any of the details, you've already checked Cosh.
