Too many tabs to clear off all of them at once, so let's start with a quick run through some blog posts of note.
- Scott's suggestion for the Libs' coalition message may be a bit wordy, but it gets close to what looks to be the best possible starting point where all options are on the table.
- Steve is right to note how ridiculous the Cons look for claiming that the big meanie Liberals made them spend hundreds of millions of dollars on G8/G20 security. But let's note that the Cons aren't done digging, with a spokesflack spinning as a gratuitous "passing jab" as if that's supposed to be a reasonable explanation.
- It didn't take long in the wake of this morning's Angus Reid poll for Three Hundred Eight to crunch the national numbers on coalitions led by Ignatieff, Rae and Layton. But it's worth noting that in all three scenarios, either the Cons or the Libs would need the support of the Bloc to govern - meaning that all parties may have reason to stop the gratuitous Bloc-bashing that's remained the most problematic part of any coalition discussion.
- Finally, the back-and-forth between the gang at the Progressive Economics Forum and Stephen Gordon over tax policy has been a staple of the Canadian blogosphere for some time now. And it took one of its most interesting turns yet over the past week, with Gordon's slightly questionable list of sources allegedly supporting a corporate-first agenda getting promptly shot down by Marc Lee.
