One more thing: I can't help noticing that, as this story indicates, the Lib-NDP deal was struck at the Royal York Hotel in Toronto.
Such a shame, really - the Royal York is a classy, historical place. A deal this sordid should have been consumated at some sleazy no-tell-motel on the edge of town.
More later.

A conversation I overheard in Trinity-Spadina within a group of very devout, conservative Catholics...
Person #1: "We're trying to get a candidate nominated for the CPC..."
Person #2: "It's waste of time. It's all NDP and Liberal here."
Person #1: "... we need your help. You have to start somewhere."
Person #2: "They're not a moral party. They're mostly fiscal conservatives. No morals."
Person #1: "Well we..."
Person #2: "It's like you're trying to build a 13th floor when you haven't even started on the basement."
Person #1: "Well, we have to start somewhere..."
Person #2: [looking doubtful] "It's not a moral party."
Mark, I can't believe you got that close to a group of devout conservative Catholics without spontaneously combusting - or getting chased off with pitchforks :)
Hey, I'm just thrilled that there's such serious interest in our nomination!
Actually, all jokes aside, it looks like we will have a contested race - for the CPC - in Trinity-Spadina! How 'bout them apples?
(I don't know if any of the contenders were the Opus Dei's that Mark was eavesdropping on, however ...)
Oh, I know many devout Catholics. Meet with them almost every day.
I just keep my mouth shut and grin.
If politics and religion can be avoided, great people. In theory, anyway. They never seem to stop talking about either.
