It could lead to a rapid fall in the C$, and a sharp shock to the Canadian economy. This would eliminate any possible good news Flaherty budget.<BR/><BR/>His Ontario troops will also be energized, and he will be able to build some momentum going into the Spring. <BR/><BR/>If Harper's economic advisers are reading the same data, there is no way Harper will wait. Besides, his War Room rental runs out in February, and the shadow leadership teams of Prentice, Bernier and MacKay won't wait around forever.<BR/><BR/>Dion knows all that, which is why he sees no need in making threats. He will wait to blame the others for calling an early election. What a chicken!!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
