This must be a joke

CTV claims that the Conservatives haven't given up on bringing down the government and triggering an election this sitting:

"I expect we're going to have every member in our caucus here whenever the vote is," B.C. Conservative MP John Reynolds told CTV News on Wednesday. "Whether it's tomorrow or next week ... we will have every member here, and this government deserves to be defeated."

And sayeth Craig Oliver:

"We're back into brinkmanship again. It's unlikely, but it's not improbable, that the Liberal government could fall in the next vote...

"This is a serious attack on the government and it will come very quickly and we should be ready for it when it comes."

Now, I know that the Cons are always happy to pretend they have the most power possible, and trash-talking about bringing down the Liberal minority has been as close to power as they've come in well over a decade. But surely they can't honestly believe that an election now will lead to anything but a disastrous result for them, can they?

(And somewhere, a nagging voice says "of course they can...")
