Compare and contrast

Michael Ignatieff:
I could be sitting here as your prime minister, but I turned it down because I didn’t think it was right for someone who believes in the national unity of my country to make a deal with people who want to split the country up.
Michael Ignatieff's Quebec lieutenant (Robert Silver translation):
(Denis Coderre) thinks Quebecers will look forward and won't hold past hard-line positions taken [by the Liberal party] towards separatists against the leader [Ignatieff].
So was Coderre referring to what Ignatieff said the previous week as the "hard-line" position which Quebeckers are supposed to have forgotten already? Or are the Libs trying to sell polar opposite positions about sovereigntist voters depending on whether they're inside or outside Quebec?
