Et Tu? Buzz Hargrove

Paul Martin probably will be remembered (at least in his PM role) for his bizarre coalition of politicians all over the spectrum who loathe Stephen Harper.

Before his first election he acquired Jean Lappierre from the Bloc, Ujjal Dosanj from the NDP, and of course Scott Brison from the PC party. He also got Joe Clark to support him by calling Martin a lesser evil then Stephen Harper.

Since then the biggest scandal in Liberal party history eruppted and Paul Martin forged a deal with Jack Layton (who earlier blamed him for the death of the homeless) and stayed in power. He also was part of one of the biggest coups in Canadian politics when a shocked nation saw the naming of Belinda Stronach as a LIBERAL cabinet minister - a week before a no-confidence vote.

This election he got unexpected help from Kim Campbell and Ralph Klein who doubted Stephen Harper would ever become Prime Minister. Then a Belinda-type defaction shattered the NDP with union big-boss Buzz Hargrove supporting Paul Martin? After this election not much will change the liberals will still be in charge of a minority government and Stephen Harper will be shown the door. Then the question will be, will Paul Martin be able to maintain his coalition together or will they leave to their national political movements and leave him sinking like Brian Mulroney.
