Patrick Gossage, former Press Secretary to Prime Minister Pierre Trudeau, tells CTV why Stephen Harper's constant diatribe about a "coalition" is just a red herring -- one that he could come to regret.
I can't believe that Harper tried to pull this off! Does he think we don't understand how our own political system works? It's not just a lie, it's a transparent lie.
I hope the three opposition parties have the guts to vote nonconfidence, as soon as the new Harper government opens parliament. The Governor General would not call for another election, since the result would be the same. The GG would then ask the opposition if they can form a government that has the confidence of parliament.

Stephen Harper is going to lose the election in the debates.
He's the least smart of all the leaders, and he can't think outside his own talking points.
