As Tom Flanagan stated a couple days ago when discussing the Harper strategy to accuse Ignatieff and the Liberals of intending to reform the coalition:
“It doesn't have to be true. It just has to be plausible and it strikes me as plausible.”
(http://www.theglobeandmail.com/news/politics/tories-to-stoke-fear-of-opposition-coalition/article1279929/)
That Ms. Hébert is the heart of the matter.
For Harper and the Cons it simply doesn't matter if it is true whether Ignatieff and Liberals intend to reform the coalition.
We saw this today when Mr. Ignatieff stated that he would not be forming a coalition and immediately after Harper's Parliamentary secretary, Pierre Poilievre, said that Ignatieff had not ruled out that possibility.
Apparently the new Harper accuse Ignatieff and the Liberals of threatening national unity. Perhaps Harper would like to explain exactly what it is that he means by this.
The Harper strategy is not to inform Canadians and Harper has no interest in to what extent it reflects the truth.
The Harper accusations of Ignatieff going to form a coalition is being done precisely to incite core supporters of Harper and the Con's. There will be much more of this in the days to come, you can be assured. I can only suggest that we all as Canadians take note of this.
