Wanna Be Prime Minister Has Short Memory

Liberal Leader Michael Ignatieff says his party has no interest in forming a coalition government with the New Democrats and Bloc Quebecois.

"Let me be very clear, the Liberal party would not agree to a coalition," he told reporters Friday. "In January, we did not support a coalition and we do not support a coalition today or tomorrow."

Really, well what was it that the Liberal Leader Stephan Dion, NDP Leader Jack Layton and Bloc Leader Gilles Duceppe signed and agreed to. Flashback to December 1st, 2008

Liberals, NDP, Bloc sign deal on proposed coalition
'We must try to make this Parliament work,' Dion says of accord
The Liberals and New Democrats signed an agreement on Monday to form an unprecedented coalition government, with a written pledge of support from the Bloc Québécois, if they are successful in ousting the minority Conservative government in a coming confidence vote.

The accord between parties led by Stéphane Dion, Jack Layton and Gilles Duceppe came just hours after Liberal caucus members agreed unanimously that Dion would stay on to lead the Liberal-NDP coalition, with support in the House of Commons from Bloc MPs.

Whether you call it an accord, coalition or agreement, Ignatieff seems to have lost his memory. Good thing the voters haven't.
