Still on the topic of Federal Politics

Reading the pundits this morning nothing has changed, all seem to think that the coalition is shaky and most can't wait for Harper to get his majority in the election after the confidence vote in January 09. However the only original commentary, I can find, comes from Richard Gwyn of the Toronto Star, where he posits that the G-G did have a greater role than just being a rubber stamp for Stevie. Here is the aricle where Gwyn states that perhaps the PM was being rude to the G-G by treating the chat as a mere formality to getting what he wanted. It didn't work out to be such a formality and Stevie had to miss the big photo-op in Woodstock where he would have got to rub shoulders with non-union workers and Dalton M.
