1. The MOST interesting thing is,
now that the Liberals need the NDP to survive any potential confidence vote, the New Democrats have never had so much power in Parliament. In fact, given that the Liberal Party seems so disposed to make any and all deals to maintain their minority government, it's almost as though the NDP are the minority government (although they don't have the initiative in driving the agenda).

This state of affairs should hopefully help the NDP in any upcoming elections, given that they can take credit for the social programs they help to save (or enhance), as well as benefitting from the image they are building for themselves as they try to root out corruption and dishonesty in a non-partisan fashion by going on the offensive against BOTH of the big boys.
