NDP-Bloc to work together

Relevant Link

I guess the Conservatives haven't heard of the Watergate scandal.  It is pretty rediculous that they have stooped so low as to start covertly recording closed opposition meetings.

As a matter of interest, though, is an alliance between the NDP and the Bloc.  They are pretty similar in terms of policy, other than the whole separating Quebec from Canada thing.  If they do a full merger, all of the sudden the Liberals will be the third party.  It would certainly mean the decline of the Liberal party, with the NDP no longer just a fringe party.  This move doesn't surprise me at all, as the whole separtism thing has died down and the Bloc are facing a problem with relevance.  Also, having a leader like Gilles Duceppe taking on a national campaign, I think they could well become the dominant party.

Certainly, these are interesting times in this country.
