Merger madness

The CBC reports tonight of mysterious musings by mostly unknown individuals.

Senior insiders with the federal Liberals and New Democrats have been holding secret talks about the possibility of merging their parties to form a new entity to take on the Conservatives, CBC News has learned.

Many Liberal insiders confirmed that discussions between the two parties are not just focused on forming a coalition after an election or co-operation before one, but the creation of a new party.

For the moment, I can only offer that my sources dismiss the report.
