Excellent synopis..thanks..Is Harper perhaps heeding the old political maxim to leave your opponent alone when he's busy committing suiciode?

It's a distinct possibility.

Whatever strategy he's pursuing, he should continue, since it's infinitely more effective-or at least, appears that way to the lay observer-than the tactics employed by his predecessor, Stockwell Day.

Hopefully, we'll be able to bid farewell to the Liberals before too long.

Thanks Ken. :)

You must be right--that is the only rational explanation I've heard.
