After all the blustering, scrambling, and double talk, Michael Ignatieff sent out a press report saying that he would not look to form a coalition. (National post article here) (Liberal Press release here). However it still came across as pretty weak and "ambiguous".
At this point a couple of things do remain very clear;
1. Iggy is just starting to realize that he can basically say anything in a campaign (especially so far behind already), as there is no legal ramifications that would force him to fulfill those promises.
2. He was trying to leave the coalition door open. And technically it still is, because his inevitable replacement has made no such commitment/promise.
3. Both minor parties will gladly jump at the chance to "be in Government", because without a Coalition they are limited to being "fringe" parties, with no real chance to Govern alone.
It would be a grave mistake for voters to believe that a Coalition is dead, and for separatists to hold that much power over OUR Country is abhorrent!
