A Coalition Government of the Minority of the Minority?

Wow! How could anyone claim Canadian parliamentary politics is boring?! The possibility of a Liberal-NDP Coalition government supported by the Bloc drives home a point I have long called upon. Namely, one cannot afford to avoid developing and nurturing relationships with the opposition parties. With the real possibility that some of these previously obscure MPs may become Cabinet members, those who might have only focused their efforts on the governing caucus may find themselves short. If you're a non-proft exec, the time is now to work your parliamentary network and reach out!
