Daydreaming with Delacourt

It's officially the silly season in Ottawa, with Parliament in a virtual state of chaos neither governed nor closed we find some wild suggestions making the rounds. The rumours of a possible election call of June 27th keeps making the rounds of Parliament Hill, as the Martin government tries to outflank its allied opposition forces in a procedural game of hide and seek as outlined by Jane Taber of the Globe and Mail.

All of the Machiavellian workings of late have Susan Delacourt the Ottawa Bureau Chief for the Toronto Star putting forward some interesting options for the folks (fools?) on the Hill. In this article from the April 15th Star, she works out a number of scenarios for governing this rather splintered group of malcontent MP's.

Among the notable options; Paul Martin plays turtle (perhaps more the fabled tortoise than Ninja Turtle one suspects), PM the PM tosses the keys to the PMO bathroom to Stephen Harper and the heads for the Gatineau Hills and one final apocalyptic option, that of the possibility of a Prime Minister Duceppe Prime Ministership (just watch that loonie drop then eh!).

All quite plausible if all the stars were to crash into place at the same time. All symbolic as to just how crazy life in Ottawa must seem these days.
