Cherniak spewing contradictions again...

Previously, the Dion-May agreement was "about the Liberal Party doing what is right for a truly progressive Canada." Now it's "the new Liberal-Green squeeze play". Previously it was principled, now it's political contrivance to attack the only "progressive" political party in Canada. A Liberal who speaks out both sides of his mouth. What a surprise.

But as is often the case, when Cherniak is right, it's for reasons to which he is completely oblivious. The Dion-May pact will be about doing right by progressive Canada, but only because the Liberals will disintegrate and be revealed as the unprincipled opportunists they truly are (Liberal/Tory same old story and sadly we're in for a Harper majority). As for the Greens, the public will finally have to look at the ideological core of this party. These are not the social democrat, anti-globalization Greens of progressive countries like Sweden, Germany, and the Netherlands. North American Greens are right wing libertarians with a green agenda. They are socially regressive (which is why many make good Conservatives) and fiscally they are anti-government pro-capitlaism (which makes them appealing to Liberals). Thus leaving progressive and leftist Canada only with the NDP for whom to vote.
