Delaying the inevitable

Let's give Jeff this much: the Libs haven't yet said outright that they're capitulating to Deceivin' Stephen once again. But today's announcement that the Libs plan to leave their (itself weak) accountability motion on the back burner until later this month surely telegraphs exactly how the issue will play out.

After all, does anybody honestly think that the Libs will somehow be in a stronger position to force the Cons to give ground within a week of the date when stimulus money could theoretically start flowing - not to mention when the motion might be the only barrier to that happening? And if not, then how can the Libs believe that Harper would offer up any meaningful concessions in the meantime?

(Edit: fixed wording.)
