Sure, at first it might seem like Jim Flaherty's speech today is more a matter of stale hyperpartisan excess than meaningful strategy.
But let's keep in mind that the Pirate Party of Canada exists, and indeed may be running candidates by the next election campaign. Is it completely out of the question that the Cons are so devoid of substance as to have concluded their best chance at a majority is to confuse voters about which party is which, and hope that voters mark the Pirate Party box when meaning to vote for their friendly neighbourhood potential-coalition candidate?
It may be too early to say. But if John Baird starts referring to Michael Ignatieff as a rhinoceros without any apparent explanation, we'll know what he's up to.
